Too bad, probably. Money won't be an issue now anymore,l but I fear that the OR now will try to impose FB onto OR users or base its support on it.

Which would mean that my - mild only anyway - interest would officially drop to non-negotiable zero.

Sony recently announced its own gadget like OR for PS4.

Zuckerberg seems to have an addiction to throw 10-to-11-digit numbers of dollars around now, doesn't he

So Disappointed it wasn't Pornhub.

Now its run by Facebook, you would see things like:

"Skybird also enjoyed Barely Legal Coeds XXX 23, would you like to poke him?"

Well there goes my plans for buying one.

I'm trying to stay optimistic about it, but Facebook is buying up everything and I'm worried a lot of these techs are going to fizzle out once FB's investors start crying for them to quit spending so much money.
