    Facebook is on a roll; buys out Oculus VR for $2 billion.

    FB will certainly control what gets sold over its own platform, but the Rift is just a display. If you can get adult content on your computer/device, then you shouldn't have any trouble using a Rift with it, assuming that it's made for the Rift. I can only assume that they want to make a...

    Interesting day for game developers

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Ya, people are able to do more and more with less and less. Of course, that just serves to raise the quality bar that players expect, but at least that's being counterbalanced a bit by the minimalist/retro indie games. Also, why do you need money to do a game startup? Download an engine and...

    oh, and even more interesting: Facebook purchases VR headset maker Oculus for $2 billion http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/03/facebook-purchases-vr-headset-maker-oculus-for-2-billion/ I really didn't see that one coming, but that's a hell of a turnaround for their investors. Imagining a VR...

    Growth Hacker Marketing

    MARKETING 
    After reading his other book, maybe my expectations were a bit high, but I didn't find this one terribly useful. It's a good intro to what's possible if you're not at all familiar with performance marketing, but anyone with some experience at online marketing probably isn't going to learn that...

    Vacation - Holidays

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just got back from the US for B&P and visiting family and friends. I'll be taking working trips to Crete, Poland, and Australia later in the year, and I'm considering a trip to Svalbard in the summer for some midnight-sun action (also just because it's so damned far north)!

    Why is it OK for you to STEAL from me?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I've never used adblock because ads don't typically bother me, and I'll occasionally learn something. But then someone reminded me about YouTube ads... Now I may install it. So it's ok to be a dirty thief so long as it doesn't cost the provider anything? So you're cool with piracy then? No...

    Southeastern Asia

    MEETUPS 
    Hehe, ya, I was basically just looking for a place on the beach somewhat more low-key than Sihanoukville. Maybe Kampot is a better choice than Kep. It's a bit hard to find info on the smaller places, even on the Khmer forums. Any insight on how the infrastructure is in either of those places...

    Thanks for the feedback! I'm still really flexible about where I end up, but to be honest, boring is sort of what I'm looking for hehe. I want to pretty much wake up, go for a run/swim, then get to work! :) I thought that a place a bit smaller than Sihanoukville would be more peaceful, but...

    Seeking for advice

    INTRO 
    There will likely be much less competition in your native language, but the potential reward will also likely be far smaller. If you were doing media buys in some form, learning in a smaller, more familiar market would probably make sense. However, you talk about articles and writing, so it...

    Southeastern Asia

    I basically just pitched this in my B&P presentation hehe. I'm leaning towards Kep as a super-cheap spot on the beach. I'm heading over in December, though I'm planning to settle in for a year. I don't think going over for a month would be that useful, at least for me. That's more like a...

    Group Buy on Social Gaming (Mafia Wars Style) Source Code?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You're probably already know this, but just in case I figured I would mention that this could easily cost MANY multiples of whatever you were considering paying for the source.

    2 things I learned from being fired

    Sure, but keep in mind that the 16 year old Richard Branson that started his first business wasn't the 63 year old Branson that we read about today either. Not to take anything away from that, as it's a great attitude to have, but I bet what you could achieve in 2 months if you make the right...
