They are '3d', but like you say, no head motion tracking and breaks badly if you tilt your head sideways.
I appears that they have fisheye cameras that sit to either side of the person's head, distance between eyes is noticeably wrong. Sometimes makes your eyes cross trying to keep the tits in focus.
3d movies/porn are however good enough to insure that Google cardboard (at least) will continue.
Lots of old folks no longer have HD eyes. Also, for those of us that watched SD for decades, our brains have, to an extent, been 'programmed' to ignore the grain. That goes away, but at first it was noticeable. Likely was worse for those who didn't use high resolution computer displays for years before HD TVs.
Everything is negotiable, or I'm just not interested. If someone says 'not negotiable' you 'negotiate' by walking away and working for someone that cares if the person they hire is competent. If you're at all good (and the job requires someone good), they change tunes real quick. If not, you didn't want to work for Infosys (or EDS aka HP shitslingers) in the first place.
I _wish_ the true bottom feeders would put their cheapness right in the job listings. Would save a lot of time. As it is, you just 'shitlist' the bad ones.
Today, even Ralph Nader admits the Corvair was no more dangerous than the classic VW beetle (the IRS super beetle was better though). But he built his career on it, so he doesn't say it loud or often.
Could Yahoo dump their Alibaba holdings on those markets (giving the 'may you have many sons' gesture to the Chinese regulators)? Obviously any such large sale would move the market. I'm thinking the volumes would be far too thin to be practical.
The deal hasn't closed. We'll see what they get in the end.
If you make an offer on a house, enter escrow, then learn the house has termites (the owner knew it and didn't disclose) the offer becomes, more or less, meaningless. Depending on the state you live in and the contingencies you wrote into the offer.
If Verizon can show 'bad faith' on Yahoo's part regarding disclosure of known hacks/data breaches, they are out of the deal for a lawyer bill the will likely be 1% of the losses they avoid. Which is still a big old shyster bill.
The difference in value between MS's offer, Verizon's initial offer, Verizon's current offer and the nickel they eventually get for the shithole will serve as a lesson to all the world's MBAs.
I fell into my first Ford in 20+ years recently. 400+hp 94 mustang for less than 3 grand. Less than 10k miles on the motor. I removed all the visible 'blue ovals of shame', fixed a dozen little things, tuned the suspension, replaced the convertible top, installed a racing radiator and put in a lower gear/fatter axle (04) rear end (the kid had drifted the car into curb and broke the old one, also lost his license and was going to have the car confiscated next 'pull over', hence sold it cheap.)
Next I need Cobra wheels and tires. With all that I'm still less than 5 grand into the car, and a fair number of hours.
Polyurethane bushing are a bitch and a half (actually it's getting the worn out rubber ones out, you need a hydraulic press and a good set of drifts/blocks). Next time I'll just buy the Chinese tubular steel suspension links with urethane bushings pre installed, about $20 more than just the bushings.
I can also say good things about hot rodding underpowered Hondas. In a V8 you are constantly lifting, you can drive a Civic like the stig and still be reasonably safe in traffic (assuming you know how to focus on driving). Strangely the Mustang is cheaper to insure than the Civic.

If you are old, your eyes are, more or less, fixed focus. It is a problem, but at least for gaming and VR, you get used to it.

3d fails once/generation.
Basically because it sucks.
It doesn't _have_ to suck, but directors are mostly morons.
At least they didn't reissue Basekitball in 3d, ducks.

Only if you live a bad life and the universe punishes you by moving you down (according to karma theory; 'dot indian' beliefs).
Real men don't even know how to pronounce queeshe...quitsh.
What kind of GPU do you rate as 'good enough' to drive 3 4k monitors?
You have to deeply discount anything traded on Shanghai. Chinese market rules say you can't sell your holdings unless they are tiny.
Somebody should set up an alternate market for Shanghai traded stocks, after hours, outside China. Think of the arbitrage opportunities.
Set them at 60 degrees and get 360.
3 4k monitors. So this laptop comes with dual 1080s? How do they manage the thermal issues?
It's shit as a gaming PC replacement, just like all gaming laptops.
Why not?
3 minute battery life.
Stop the sufferaging!

When you see a story in Pravda, you know they are doing it for the clicks.
When you see a story in the NYT, you just have to guess which interest they are serving this week.
Pravda is more transparent.
WWN was more credible on their last issue then the NYT is now. I believe in Batboy more than I believe in Russian hackers at the DNC.

It has to happen, now is good.
You can 'hotrod' for pretty cheap these days.

Get a new job while you still have one. Yahoo is not yet the resume stain it should be.
The key question is: How much are the Alibaba holdings really worth.
China says you can't sell them, marking them to the Shanghai market is fiction.
It's already cost a billion $ in lower offer. It might still cost them the rest.
I think this is a very good thing. A company needs to be made an example of, Yahoo can disappear and nothing of value will be lost.
