#2This site is just tried to fake a chrome update for me. Serving up malware.

Obfuscated JS at the bottom of every static js file. Must be something random that it targeted me. cant seam to make it trigger again.

#3Interesting. Given they've dealt in the VR space before, and registered the trademark, this would seem to be a compelling case. I wish them the best.

#4I also occassionally mourn the death of the word Meta, It was such a beautiful and succinct word.
Meta means about the thing itself. It's seeing the thing from a higher perspective instead of from within the thing, like being self-aware.
Long live Meta[adjective].

#5I also occassionally mourn the death of the word Meta, It was such a beautiful and succinct word. Meta means about the thing itself. It's seeing the thing from a higher perspective instead of from within the thing, like being self-aware. Not to forget the words like Metadata, Meta-physics, Meta-analysis, Metameme. Long live Meta[adjective].
I just realized now if I put meta-programming on my resume the HR drones are going to think I worked for Zuckerberg.

#8Back in the day I worked at MetaCreations née MetaTools[0]. We had a web browser plugin that rendered streaming, progressive, interactive 3D - well before WebGL et. al. It shipped with IE and was available for other browsers as well. The MetaStream logo[1][2][3] was surprisingly similar to the Meta one.

[1] It was surprisingly hard to find a copy of the logo on image search.

Doubtful

#10The term “metaverse” was first used in Neil Stevenson's 1982 novel Snow Crash. IANAL but it seems dubious to me that anyone besides Neil gets to claim dibs on the word "meta" as used in the context of VR.
