I mean, develop all that stuff still, as a side project, when you think something has the potential to be disruptive. Companies like Mozilla want to innovate, they should try. But don't force it down our throats, and don't get greedy thinking that just because you made something (even if it's really cool) that it's useful in the real world. Pocket is a perfect example - I don't have any problems finding stuff to read and do on the web, why are you spending time solving that problem for me? The real answer is "We want to aggregate data about your habbits and sell it to supplement our income because it's 2018 and your mind is profitable to harvest. C'mon, everyone's doing it!"

Yeah you're absolutely right - Apple is a large company, and this whole "no one owns a Macintosh" meme is about as obviously outdated as my wide-leg JNCO jeans. It won't happen overnight (codebases need to shift, developers need training/experience etc) but in the end I'd chalk this up to a net-loss for desktop Linux.

Comment Outside work hours? (Score 1) 184

There once was a time that I had no real frame of reference to differentiate contracted hours of employment from private time. I had no boundaries, was pretty much always on call, and thought I was lucky to have the employers that I allowed to (and were happy to) treat me like that. I pretty much always took the call. Several employers did pretty well out of me during those years.

Then I grew up and developed a modicum of self-esteem.

Submission + - Oculus Rift ignores pre-orders and starts shipping Rift+PC bundles

fluor2 writes: As a lot of VR fans had the pre-order time booked in their calendar for being as early as possible for ordering, the road to VR has been rather unfortunate for most of the Rift CV1 pre-orders. In April, Oculus announced that many of the pre-orders was getting bumped from March to early May or even June .

Now, the Reddit thread /r/Oculus have started a common opinion that "This launch has been 100% retarded." (227 votes and counting) as Oculus now seem to have postponed most orders but still find CV1's for supplying supply Rift+PC bundles. The solution for some have now been to cancel their order, and rather ordering Rift+PC bundles on Bestbuy and cancel the PC portion — jumping way ahead of preorders .
