Ahhh the good old days...
I remember once working for a company, the sign above the door said it was a distribution network operator, however turned out the main purpose of the company was giving the IT department an easy ride.
great idea having 2 laptop specs and 1 desktop spec, of course it's a bit of a shame that both laptop specs were crap, and desktops were only available to 1/2 a dozen ops staff....

Here Here,
pronouncements on AI producing sentient machines by the year nnnn always say more about the speakers ignorance than about the state of tech.
Although in this instance not the biggest twat in the room! I thought the train bloke was a right plum, and then he tacked on 'renewable' and went full fuckwit. i don't see how the train couldn't work in the cloud pesrn'ly

It's a gigantic 'fuck you' to the god botherers of course.
the origin of species is no more the font of all wisdom than the jewish folk tale about the snake and the apple.

Re: F1 is pants...
I came to the conclusion years ago that sadly the tech has completely fucked F1. and i can't see a way back.
get rid of telemetry
get rid of pit to car radio
return manual gearboxes, foot clutches, no anti-stall
drop drs
all petrol lose this electric shite
use all the tyres, gearboxes and engines you want
practice when you want
but none of that will happen, may as well add, wake shumi and resurrect ayerton.

dunno...
maybe the 3 odd years of development from VC to kickstarter, to more VC and finally FB, all the trade shows and 1000's of devkits in the wild, all the conversations with developers...
Could be they have a vague idea where their market actually is.
From what I have heard of the guys at oculus it aint their first rodeo.

Re: Serious question ...
resolution will be an issue, from what I have heard it's impossible to read standard in game text in the devkit, so i would imagine the kind of crisp display cadders are used to will be out of the question for a few iterations. also there's motion sickness to consider, it's improving all the time, but still nowhere near the sort of thing you would want to (or most people would be able to) wear for 5 or 6 hours a day.
I think HoloLens is more likely to achieve traction in design applications, at least to start with.

Upvoted...
though to be fair to the powers that were, the man was also barely literate. Rejected by... RI, IEE?? on this account.
Many decades ago there was a great article about him in the back of 'wireless world' apparently went to a very progressive school where the kids were encouraged to devise their own curriculum, so he never took an english class in his life!
still a dreadful waste.

Top bloke of the century (Tesla excepted, of course, as usual - he was a time traveller who got stuck in his distant past, so fair to leave him out).
While stereo and PAL TV(I believe he was working on it at the time of the crash, amongst other things)
he also invented the cathode follower - or amplifier to you and me, and the integrator, which he rather kindly dubbed the miller integrator.
In short the man invented electronics, yet is less celebrated than Dr.Kanye-Z
disgraceful.

the pig-arse ugly watch is not all bad...
apparently if it feels the user is not being active enough it sends an alarm to tell them to move... all synched to 10 to the hour.
to observers of the herd this will provide endless hours of amusement as at ten to the hour, all the sheeple in the room stand as 1.

Not really newsworthy
Had a friend who about 30 years ago became a school governor in a very right thinking part of the country, and in passing one of the other governors, a police officer, made a causal enquiry as to whether my friend was still a member of the communist party.. a party he had left some 20 years before.
