With the loss of good will from those who supported Oculus I am guessing it all comes down to whether Valve will continue to support it. Since it is common knowledge that Valve has a working prototype of their own, who thinks Valve will dust that off and drop Oculus support. I think it would be a 1 - 2 punch, they would kill any reason to pick one up and probably absorb all the disillusioned Oculus fans. Since Valve is interested in an open platform for gaming and seeing as how they have support for all the major OS's it should be and easy decision.
Well iPhones don't have the processing power to drive the display, so who cares about the iOS store, as for the Apple App store or the Windows app store. I am sure Facebook would love to have a compelling reason to use their app store instead.
If a police officer followed you constantly throughout the day would you be alright with it? Because the courts are not, it requires a warrant, otherwise it's called harassment and is illegal. How does changing the surveillance to an electronic type alter the law. This falls under surveillance abuse, a form of harassment.
Surveillance abuse is the use of surveillance methods or technology to monitor the activity of an individual or group of individuals in a way which violates the social norms or laws of a society.
And you are not everyone. So really your declaration that you won;t record others must be taking with a grain of salt as I don;t know you. Again its the perception that creates the impasse. Your inability to see that does not help your position at all.
>When operating a motor vehicle on a public roadway, there is no expectation of privacy attached to your license plate number, or your location. A police officer can >follow you around all day without a warrant, and run as many checks on your plate number as he desires, and make a note of everywhere you go.
Actually no this would be called harassment and is illegal.
Thats a lie that has been repeated so often that you have started to believe it. In a civil society privacy is expected even when we are walking down the street. How you say? Because in a civil society we respect each other and respect each others privacy.
answer me this. How do you get video off the glass.
Oh thats right it's uploaded to Google. I for one would prefer that Google stop collecting (spying) on our lives. It serves us no purpose and is extremely intrusive. So when you volunteer to pay a large sum for the pleasure of working against your neighbors for the purpose of enriching the wallets of Google execs please don't be surprised when your neighbors push back.
Put it this way, film my kids, expect a confrontation, and then see how rough the courts are on me. (slap on the wrist if that) The perception of impropriety is all it takes.
Thats a little excessive. Wouldn't you start off with something a bit less hostile, like you asking them to remove the device first, preferably in a pleasant no hostile voice.
Why you feel the need to instantly resort to violence makes me wonder whether you need to be in public. Not defending glass but if you came into my bar with your douche bag attitude, my bouncers would make short work of you before depositing you in the sidewalk. I promise you, how ever big you feel, they are bigger.
exactly, In any civil society there is an expectation of privacy in public. this whole idea that there isn't is a ridiculous fantasy told to us by those who care noting about civility,
It certainly was and is. But that in now way gives one religion more sway then any others, or even those who choose not to believe. So please explain why one religion should get equal time while all the others are ignored.
And many churches today violate their tax exempt status under the law, also the Constitution itself in no way requires tax exempt status.
net earnings may not inure to the benefit of any private individual or shareholder
the organization may not intervene in political campaigns
no substantial part of its activity may be attempting to influence legislation
Why of why did you have a hand in that insult called World War Z. What possessed you to have a hand completely ignoring the book while creating what arguably could be called the worst movie of all time?
Don't get me wrong. I was a huge fan of Babylon 5 (well seasons 1-4), but the treatment done to WWZ was utterly ridiculous and wrong. How did you feel it was appropriate to buy the rights to a story and then dispose of every last bit leaving only the title?
Did you hear that, It is not a treaty, the senate did not vote on it, it has no force of law, and it does not require us to act a the Ukraine's protector. So please pray tell how are we failing to enforce anything?
Please stop repeating that lie. There is no fucking treaty, there is no fucking treaty. No we are not treaty bound as the Budapest Memorandum is not a treaty. Also the Budapest Memorandum does not require us to protect the Ukraine.
So please before you keep spouting off nonsense about some non existent treaty please learn at least a little about what your are talking about.
This is what the BM is about
Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty within its existing borders. Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine in order to influence its politics. Seek United Nations Security Council action if nuclear weapons are used against Ukraine. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding these commitments.
At no point does it require us to act as Ukraine's protector, and wtf why are you demanding the US do something but not the UK China or France? Why are we the only ones to uphold this fictitious treaty?

Come on Gabe, throw us a bone.

Oh, I thought they were bad again because the NSA used them.
Please explain to me how listing episodic content is not utterly obvious to everyone let alone experts in the field.

and exactly what is stable about bit coin? Certainly not it's value, and that one fact makes it almost useless as a currency today.

I disagree, While your intent may not be to invade my space, Google's most definitely is. It's their bread and butter.

I think you stretch it with innate talent. Far more important are connections.

Yeah, not like Occulus didn't announce this and show it off back in January.
But your right, it could be either way.
no we didn't

Screw that, it is an unenforceable clause in the contract as it requires a party to break the law.
woulda-shoulda-coulda.
It's a valid contraction, so why the hissy fit?
You are confusing investor with corporation.
