I expect he will have a similar situation that Ray Kurzweil has at Google.
What does that mean?
My prediction about further buys Facebook will do: 1) Mind control tech (like those headsets that control Betawaves) 2) They will buy some big cloud-music provider (Spotify maybe even) 3) They will buy Tesla 4) They will buy an OS startup and rebrand to FaceOS-1 6) They buy something like Ripple for currency tech. Then they have all the stuff covered.
I imagine the only way they acquire Tesla is over Elon's dead body.
Yes, this isn't part of Facebook's core competency. They still bought it. Could it mean Facebook is attempting to diversify?
How about lets wait and see what happens before we vilify the Oculus founders.
Valve has a strong prototype, so they're also in the game, and they will take this technology in the right direction if Oculus drops the ball.
Damn! I don't like this. I had hoped they jump in bed with valve. Yes, I just really dislike facebook, so I hate to see them aquiring something i was really excited about. Also from the article: > After games, we're going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor fa…
I am shattered right now. I was so happy for Oculus VR, I wanted it to become big, I wanted it to become something truly special. And now this happens. I'm horrified and speechless. This is the day I stop cheering for Oculus VR and get behind Sony's Morpheus: http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/19/tech/gaming-gadgets/sony-morph... Notch on this deal: "We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus. I j…
I've always found Facebook's stock to be a ridiculously risky long-term investment since their entire growth plan is predicated on monetizing an already established customer base, where a single event that causes people to switch en masse to a more private/secure social network would destroy the company. After today's acquisition I no longer think this.
I fear that something will go wrong and this will change the trajectory for the worse. I don't see the fit here. However there are a lot of smart people on both sides of the deal and I like to assume that they know what they are doing.
And I see this trend more and more with my friends (average users who just leave FB or are inactive.)
Do you share this feeling regarding FB ?

How much does Notch have to do with Minecraft these days? I thought it he was working on his space game.
Notch is a founder and owner of Mojang, the company that owns and produces Minecraft. And his space game has apparently been on hold for months.
