Nice. I can rename my headset here too.

Google VR and Apple VR headsets are the names of my personal computers and I demand that you address them as such. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Backbone Pro does not fit the Apple Vision Pro battery pack.

It is technologically possible for social VR platforms to let you show-and-tell a real world object, or decorate a world with it, by switching to passthrough for a few seconds and pointing at it.

Seconds later, it can be held in your avatar's hands in VR as a virtual 3D object.

Wireless VR is for losers.

I’m gonna yell “reel me in” like I’m stuck through the portal in Poltergeist.

yeah the price is everything tbh, if it matched Q3 it's a literal steal (but I doubt it), $600-$800 would be pretty good, $1k and up is pushing it imo

People processing the existence of Steam Frame when they don’t know:
1. the price
2. which games run well
3. when it will be for sale

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.
