It's not a $50,000 extortion case. It's a stolen twitter handle.

Nobody's gonna give a shit about stuff like this.

when a company (any company) get's a letter from a lawyer, they escalate the case to highest level they can and usually solve this

There aren't trails coast to coast, are there? Seems to me like most of your trip would be spent dodging traffic.

Headline:

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but couldn't you render everything 'in focus', run a filter over it to make things 'out of focus', then attenuate the transparency of that out of focus filter based on where the eye is looking? It seems like what you're talking about is adjusting texture maps on objects based on…

Really? What was technology like in 1994 compared to today?

That's true if you're thinking of traditional TV/movies, but so many things that you wouldn't even expect are CG these days—the use of which will only increase in the future. That solves some of the 'look around' problems and could potentially solve all of the 'move around' problems one day. Think of it like you're…

As cool as this is, I really just want to play Valkyrie already.

I'd give it about 20 years before we see these VR imersive movies/shows (and even then it'll be uncommon). The amount of work it'd take to create landscapes like those used in GoT in which you can look around would be massive. We'd probably need some breakthroughs in procedural generation to make it viable.

The newer Rift (the one with the head tracking, not the one used here) basically eliminates the lag that causes nausea.

Honestly shouldn't be too hard to do. I'd expect to see eye tracking and focus adjustments in the second public model they release. It'd be one of those good iterative features.

Hotel pizza ftw

Companies already pay for the bandwidth. The net neutrality argument is that Comcast will block/slow/charge users more for Netflix to drive you to their Xfinity streaming platform or Google (in areas lucky enough to have Google Fiber) will block other search engines so you'll use Google instead and they make more ad…

and printing and cutting enough uniforms for all of them (at the lowest cost!)

What ever happened to that group that wanted to replace road surfaces with solar panels? Seemed viable—if expensive—though it wouldn't solve any runoff problems.

It's Apple.

Not sure if fun or batshit crazy.

I am Jack's wounded pride.

Not to mention a quarter inch of pure grime.
