Question

Not to point out the elephant in the room...

Facebook. Sorry if that felt like being singled out -- because what ended up happening is thousands of Americans were singled out in targeted advertisement campaigns, in an information war campaign between the USA and Russia.

Not looking to discuss the bigger existential crisis afoot, only...how do you feel about Oculus? 
Has your impression changed any?

More relevant than the privacy leak. Why the hell do people keep saying "could care less" when they are insinuating that they don't care at all.
The phrase is "could'nt care less" which insinuates it would not be possible to care less about a particular issue.
I blame facebook for that, if we dont curb such incorrect usage of the English language then we are going to need another amendment to the dictionary  (literally now also means not literally).

The world has gone mad!


I'd give up on that already, friend! I've certainly given up trying to help the illiterates of the internet (from English speaking countries, dare I add....) because I found most of their egos couldn't stand it and they just got angry instead of better at English :)

What makes me spew is hearing so many Brits using silly Yank words (like functionality, tonality, in actuality - are ya fekkin kidding me??!!) in every day conversations (and worse, the media doing that). I think it's because there is so much US TV on in the UK these days, and people go out less and watch more - along with the internet, it's just killing our beloved Mother tongue.

All you can do is speak proper English, like wot we do, and be appy.

Speaking bad English is a privilege that comes from being responsible for leading the world in Technology. We get to be lazy as we continue to innovate, while others do less innovation and thus have more time to focus on criticizing bad grammar.

Jokes aside, I know what you mean though. People talk terribly around these parts. I do value good speaking.

I don’t use Facebook personally, and as far as Oculus, I haven’t noticed any Russian propaganda being beamed straight into my brain via the headset. All is well, Comrades!

Agreed, have a dvink on me...

Palmer was no victim, he was the culprit. Now the Industry is leaving him behind.

His fans need to give it a rest already and just wave bye-bye.
