"They can't really hang it off their belt because it's too big and unwieldy, it's a solid slab in their pocket, so the phone migrates to less and less convenient locations."
I wonder how many people who say this have actually used one of the larger screens.
My Galaxy note 3 is huge compared to my old iphone, but fits in my pocket perfectly comfortably.
"are you expecting us to believe that you genuinely don't understand the fears of those in this forum who oppose your optimistic view of the way data collected on customers of these services will be used?"
Yes. All I hear is a bunch of Chicken Little's freaking out because Google will know what temperature they like their house to be when they wake up in the morning.
"An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument"
"Sorry, since this is Slashdot I was expecting that I would be speaking to a rational adult. Forgot that school's out."
You disregard my argument on the basis that you think I am still in school.
Slashdot Mirror
TL;DR: I don't need it, therefore no one does.
Right, cause cheap/free VR certainly isn't of interest to the slashdot crowd.
Because creating an account on a website is a measure of how important someone's opinion is, duh.

A screen the size of my Galaxy note 3.

How is that not ad hominem?
"But yeah, duh, we're all luddites if we don't bow and kiss the ring."
who's ring? What are you talking about?
Irrational fear of technology is what makes you luddite, nothing else.
>FYI, so you know - "dur, yer uh Luddite" is not a substitute for a valid argument
And ad hominem is soooo much better.
If you had actually read what I wrote you would have seen that my real suggestion was "Go to settings and turn 'GPS' to off".
Could you really not tell that the luddite remark was sarcasm?
This is the 21st century and we are talking about GPS on cell phones.
I am obviously referring to map apps on phones.
>Remember when people used to say that about GPS-enabled cell phones?
No
>Now every cell phone is GPS-enabled.
>Got any other ideas?
Go to settings and turn "GPS" to off?
Stop being a luddite?
"Oh noes, GPS. Now I can tell where I am on a map. "
How horrible.
So then don't buy and install these products.
"I don't think he's put the files out for you to play it on your OR."
You're joking right? The download links are right there in the summary.
>They have not solved any of the major problems with head tracking or lag.
Yes, they have. You can preorder the new version now.
>that is exactly how OR works, sluggish, slow, and not accurate
I have the first devkit and this is complete bullshit.
"South American countries such as...Mexico"
Why?
What?
Oh noes! A computer program is going to scan my email for keywords and show me relevant ads??
The horror.
No.
Wasn't scaremongering about Google reading your email part of their stupid ad campaign?
Why would I not remember a game that was revamped and re-released less than a year ago?
Of course I remember it, I'm still playing and there are plenty of others on my server.
Maybe it'll be a collector's item someday.
Does it matter as long as they provide sources for the information they add to wikipedia?
must be knocking them out.
