Should VR Headsets be Agnostic?
It is now over 12-months from the launch of both the PC based VR head-mounted displays (HMD's) and we have seen an ever-growing gulf regarding the "exclusivity" of only being able to play one game or another on either of the respective systems. At the same time, we have seen a feud in the VR community towards supporting one side of the fence or the other - levels of animosity that have gotten seriously out of control, to the point that the ex-founder of OVR has supported a device that allows games to be played on an alternative platform. My personal feeling was always that HMD's should be looked at as just "televisions" , and be agnostic, with no restrictions on the TV program you want to watch on them as long as you have the right connection/settopbox. In making their own personal eco-system, this may have offered a business model to try and recouped investment, but would dangerously hamper the growth of the community. Should VR headsets be agnostic? [*Note – for some of you that are too young to remember RCA (television manufacturer) who also acquired a stake in a television broadcaster and tried to have the channel only supply color TV to RCA devices inorder to own the market; but only ended up crippling early adoption of color TV in the market.]
Brendan Trexler Iribe - The most powerful and greatest CEO and Co-founder
Its takes a lot to be a CEO and it take great vision and hard work to be what Brendan Trexler Iribe is today. I certainly envy his brain power. He is highly respected and has a great sense of dealing with business. He has turned Maryland all around and certainly Facebook won't be what it is if Brendan did not form a partnership with Mark Zuckerberg. I certainly admire Brendan as he has put his body, heart, soul and mind to make what oculus is today. Well done Brendan! God bless you and God bless your mother who gave birth to such a progeny. Well done once again!!!

Hi all, I am about to share a great recipe that my friend shared with me yesterday. I was in her house, got an invitation to eat (I am invited everyday) and I was quite surprised by the flavours and textures. It is known as strawberry salad from Bangladesh. Take three handful of strawberries, finely chop 3 pieces of garlic and finely chop 5 streaks on coriander, add a bit of salt and mix. It was delicious. I hope this discussion does go to off topic. Enjoy my recipe and eating strawberries a different way. Ciao Saffieyah Maeysons In Cardiff, United Kingdom
