But, still. Jamarcus Russell.

Nope, and if John Cook reads this —- Stop blogging. You are nothing more than a useful idiot.

Is THIS candy?

I know for a fact they said it about video games. They said it to me! “Go play outside and play a game, don’t sit in front of the TV!”

Shit, that one hit close to home.

It’s not life-threatening - it is life-disrupting!

Not really. I think it’s terrible. It probably is also going to be unique to the smartphone market, no matter how much tech companies and recent MBA grads wish otherwise.

I’ve got the Ecobee and love it. Put in my house when I bought it last year, so it’s been running through last summer and into the winter with no problems, and the savings have paid for itself over the dumb thermostat that was in there. It’s got some compatibility advantages to the Nest; plus I like the 2nd sensor…

Sony will most likely have a PS4+VR bundle that will retail for $800-$850. That will be all in. It’s going to be the hottest thing this Christmas, and demand is going to far outstrip supply this holiday.

Nah. You’re wrong.

Not sure that’s a good comparison. For one, that is 10-year old tech. A big failure of both of those technologies was that the lag was pretty much unusable except in certain conditions. VR is immediate, with such low latency in the motion tracking as to be non-existent. This just strikes me as trite analogy.

There are a lot of analysts who are predicting VR to be a multi-billion dollar business in the next 5 years. Here’s just one: http://www.fool.com/investing/gene… And this is one of the more tempered articles. You might not be able to afford it, or maybe you sincerely have little interest in it, but calling it “niche”…

Dan, you’re the man who gets it. Thanks.

True story. Most of my life was a stander. That article came out, and I took a poll and of my group, I was the only one. I decided to try the sitting method. It worked out okay, except it gave me hemorrhoids.

Sony themselves have said it isn’t going to compare to what Oculus and Valve are doing. I mean, it’s just the nature of the beast and would be silly to think otherwise. However, just because it’s midrange doesn’t mean it isn’t good enough. It isn’t - and it shouldn’t be! - a PCVR killer just like the PS4 isn’t and…

That’s the traditional upper-midwest hotdog bun. Only the finest supermarket-brand bread will do.

His(?) ability to completely whip Gawker commentators so consistently and for so long is really masterful. The dude has some tells, but his opening salvo is normally enough. I think it’s Nick Denton.

Too bad he wasn’t MVP: he had been practicing the line all week. “Disney World, here I come!”

Agreed. Was going to get the Steam Link just so I could play on my TV. Blerg.

As an expat of Wisconsin that follows the local politics closely still - I think that he walks the line between what the Tea Party wants and what the big money GOP wants, yes. Chim below me answered in a substantive way.
