Has anyone here tried the Oculus Rift ? - Off-topic

Would be good to hear some first hand experiences...

It's only available for developers right now. A guy from the Verge tired it out. You could read his review.

I figured with this being a developer site, someone on here may be a developer it was available to.
I've read all the reviews out there, all sounds very exciting.

Becoming a tech journalist

As a child reading Nintendo Power (R.I.P) I always had thoughts of journalism. Now I have more of a interest in tech other than video games. I really want to give this a try. I would love to write about android and other tech maybe even back to video games . My only issue is I don't know where to start or what a lot of people want in written reviews and editorials. So my question is does anyone have any tips to get started. I have my own word press and I'm practicing writing the feed back would be great. I would be thankful for any help and hopefully I can get someone from the site to give me a few pointers

I have a WordPress that I put my writing on. Nothing big just practice and a way for me to get more experience. I only have a few up but more in the works. I'm trying to work on my writing skills. I'm 22

Sam's Club 32GB Nexus 7 Placeholder

Not sure if anyone cares, but I found this on Sam's Club's website:
http://www.samsclub.com/sams/nexus-7-32gb-nexus7-asus-1b32/prod8010536.ip
Might check around at your local Sam's Club if they're willing to sell it for a wee bit less than $999.98 :silly:
A thread about Nexus 7 at $999....Better jump on that!
I'm guess it has that price so that no units get sold until a launch date

Not trying to be snooty or anything, but I think the fact that people have bought them and have them in their hands confirms it.

Seidio

I bugged Seidio about a possible Nexus 10 case, and was informed they don't have any plans. They suggested sending an email to [email protected] to request it. You should check out their iPad/Nexus7 cases and if you think its something you like, send an email too.
https://twitter.com/seidioseidio/status/266203118155485184
Case itself can be seen here:

It's pretty high quality stuff. Love the one I had for my Kindle Fire.

Hello Seidio Team,
when can I order from you a Cover for the new Nexus 10?
Like these amazing cover for the Nexus 7:
ACTIVE® with Multi-Purpose Cover

I would appreciate about a positive feedback!

I'd remove the word "until" that implies you're asking for an end date, after which you can no longer buy it.
Currently that's an impossible situation since its not yet in existence

I think the whole floating chat head thing was a gimmick. It had very little function value. Multiwindow is where we need development

+1. I found the floating windows thing intriguing but the overall user experience of Halo just frustrated me for the most part. I'm not sure I'd use multi-window much on my Nexus 5 but my Nexus 7 is crying out for a well-designed, stable answer to it.

Yeah its not like the notification bar is ever far away anyway.
I do use multiwindow on my "5". Mainly when I want to copy and paste from one thing to another (XDA perhaps?)
good.
HALO was terrible. too much of a gimmick. very little functional improvement
I was a fan of halo loved it in full screen games etc ..
Hopefully they have something up their sleeves .. I got a feeling they do

Well damn, here it is on the Nexus 5 Paranoid Android thread, where they got the link from. At least look at the link on the site I posted before commenting, or hell search the PA thread. I think a PA Dev knows if it's happening or not, and since that's who posted it, well.... it's kind of true. Here's your link.

I tried to get into Halo once. Didnt find it useful because, like someone else said, the notification drawer wasnt far away. It was useful if you had the statusbar hidden but thats it. And I don't like the statusbar hidden. Hopefully whatever they come up with next will be better.

Yeah I checked out the link on the website. I actually posted the same one up in the PA thread an hour before yours lol. Just don't see the need to make a thread in general regarding a rom that's in the development forum. Plus it's better since the PA devs can actually respond since they don't monitor general cause it gets constantly cluttered with questions and pointless threads.

Not into official builds but it's in a few unofficial builds and it looks ready to push out. It's really nice man. I'm actually trying to find a good custom cherry picked Omni rom.

Pure speculation, all fantasized. Chances are the GS6 won't even have those features. Think real, GS5 is as good as it gets.
If you are waiting on something more special (perhaps?) keep an eye open for:
Oppo find 7
HTC M8
LG G3
