Are there alternatives to this tech? I would happily buy from a competitor if one is available and boycott a company who would fuck over consumers like this. Is there even a way to choose or tell the difference between fakes or competitor products?
Where are they used? Who uses them? What alternatives are there?
They want to remake the naming scheme. This one will be called "Windows X" (because it's cool). Next one will promise to be different and they will call it "Windows Y" (because changing things for no reason might work). And the version after that will be the ultimate version. "The Windows Y can't we make a decent OS".
New slashdot slogan anyone? Why is this news on the front page? For this to actually make it in the front page. It should have at least statistics about how many idiots have fallen for this.
Apple does not support many standard technologies and artificially limits the usability of the device that is double the price of other devices on par on features. Except for the crippled functionality of many features.
Entire world? Yes if you mean leaked nudes. No if you mean convinient file transfer between people. At least samsung devices have the ability to connect to other devices.
You're making the assumption someone wants to send their pictures to a server. Or the transferable file is a pic at all. The thing is. Apple does not have a fully functioning bluetooth, contact sharing or any wireles medium whatsover and it will not have a fully functioning NFC either. This is not new. And I am talking about fully functioning, not some "it has bluetooth cause my 200e apple bluetooth speakers work on it."
AFAIK microsoft did not get any nokia patents with the buyout. As such nokia has left the market and samsung can no longer cross license with nokia, instead have to pay them and have to rethink their spending on frivolous microsoft patents.
In my opinion, keeping patents secret while saying someone is infridging one should be sued for libel or similar. If a company wants royalties from patents, they should say how much and from which patents. For a long time companies just say "they are infridging" and do not specify and are not called out on their bullshit. Top that with tons of obvious patents that should never have been granted. The system is fundamentally broken.
I installed addblock because videos and streams I watched had add volume loudness so loud that it was a real problem. I often watch videos during the night and when the loudness jumps up for the adds it becomes annoying really fast. And that was the only reason.
I don't really mind adds and I know they run the content creators, but just that one small issue was enough for me.
It could, but the latency would be way too much on current systems. 60fps@1080p is a minimum. and total latency is around 45-50ms right now (from movement to photon) and it needs to get lower. being wireless would add to that latency too.
Also to further press the point we did have 3d games in 386 era too. thats quite a few generations before p4. it's more about optimisation and less about stupid remarks about what you could do with a p4. Not forgetting that the point was "they will be there few years from now"
yes. for the tdp in question. you are aware you're comparing a ~100w processor to a 4w soc? Also graphics is where the power is needed and in this case it's needed in stereo. so just adding a second gpu to the soc would do a lot.
You also seem to forget that cpu power has not been a real issue in desktops for quite a while.
We don't need to be connected to a pc with beefy enough mobile processors. todays high end mobile processors are quite beefy, still not quite beefy enough. but not that far.
Agreed, some time in the not too distant future this concept could be a portable console. beefy enough battery and future mobile chips will be able to run a decent game in 1080p in stereo. couple of years and it will be so, if oculus (or someone else) manages to break trough in the pc market.
Both oculus and this one seem to use ~1000hz tracking. so its not an issue, tearing comes from display refresh and it's not about the tracking. In a video i saw some guys at occulus break down the latency and it was something like 2ms for usb, 16ms for game engine/rendering, ~16ms for screen refresh@60fps/hz and 16ms for pixel switching.
Yes, among other things. They use 2 renders per screen, so you should be expecting about 16ms more latency than oculus. Also they have double the vertical pixels compared to oculus, so you might expect more latency compared to the oculus screen from computations too. Latency comes down to several factors, rendering latency, screen latency and everything in between. pixel to pixel latency is very much dependant on the screen type. Oculus has said theyre looking into OLED screens that have minimal latency (few ms) compared to lcd screens that have about 16ms or so.
So many things wrong. TFA is comparing horizontal and vertical FOVs. Both sets have about 90 degree vertical FOV.
Oculus rift has about 110 FOV and human is maxed out aroud 180. Also peripheral vision is not very sharp. Oculus is really not having too much problems with the FOV anyway. The main visual candy problem seems to be the DPI among few other things. This item does not even improve on the real issues of oculus, like motion sickness, positional tracking and others. TFA seems to be an advertisement, nothing more.

My guess is that the fuckers at the hotel forgot to renew the contract and were too fucking dumb to offer a good setlement. They deserve whats coming.

You're not very smart. Can I please call you stupid?
Where the fuck are you from?

Hey, come on now, the USA isn't that bad.
I was going to mod you +1 funny, but you stole my joke.
Some people are so damn stupid it would be a surprise if there aren't dozens of people falling for this.

Not on apple devices.

Shitty article and the answer is simple.
u much be shupid.

It's called SI or The International System of Units.
