I'd love to see Valve have the "defacto OS/console" for Oculus Rift. Oculus Rift will enable truly "next-gen" gaming, and Valve would be very smart to ride that trend , and grow with it.

Amazing. Thank you Valve! You single-handedly did what hasn't been possible for at least a decade - get chip makers to really care about delivering very optimized drivers for Linux. Valve will probably succeed in making Linux more main

Microsoft is not seriously expecting the billions they're getting from Android OEM's by charging them for using open source software with trivial and broad patents is going to last forever, is it? If they're basing their mobi

Google's Android Studio is based on that, I think.

Gone are the days when Apple used to make "perfect" user experiences. These days Apple seems care more about "modern aestethics" that look "beautiful" than actually good design , as it used to when Steve Jobs

This is what I found with a quick search on the Constitute Project: "the right to freely express and spread thoughts, ideas and opinions through words, in writing or by any other means of reproduction."

I'm fine with them releasing the source after the chip is out (why would I need the driver before the chip is out?!) - just not 3 years later , like they're basically doing with Tegra 2 drivers now.

Other than inertia, and an overrated idea that proprietary drivers give you a "competitive advantage" over your competitors' very different hardware, why aren't more manufacturers making open source firmware for their ha

Gaming is definitely a "killer app" of any platform. Heck, there are devices out there with platforms that only do that , and they are very successful. I'm talking about consoles, obviously. Microsoft realized this a long ti

What bothers me most about what the government has been doing lately (for the past decade or so), is that they seem to have total disregard for the spirit of the law. All they do nowadays is try to find legal loopholes and mind-bending ju

Too bad PS4 wasn't based on Linux, too. Both could've helped Linux games a lot more.

There were some rumors about Crytek and Unreal guys wanting to support Linux, too. With these latest announcements, I'm sure they will now, if they weren't going to do it before.

If I were them I'd make Half Life 3, Portal 3 and whatever next versions they have of their own games, exclusive to their own Steambox, at least first months or so. They might not get as much money on the games themselves initially, b

Yes, but even graphene won't allow us to shrink transistors anymore, and this is what all these "end of Moore's Law" articles are really talking about. > "Moore's law is the observation that, over the histor

Why is it so hard to understand that "Moore's Law" is coming to an end - for silicon chips at least? The point of these stories is that we're getting to transistors being as big as atoms, and I think that's happenin

Maybe it's time for a new Constitution amendment then. In a world where surveillance is so pervasive, and so potentially dangerous, the laws should be updated, if the old ones aren't sufficient to provide people the privacy they n

Then we should "fix" that. Instead, we've been letting the government give these companies immunities for letting them gather the data in bulk from them. I think people just want to communicate with each other, and the Inte

No, Obama actually sounded like he wanted to confuse the public about what they were doing. I didn't get the impression that he was discussing the legality of it in his speeches at all, when saying "metadata".

And that's exactly how they're picking some of their drone targets, too. If you've talked to the leader of al qaeda, it doesn't really matter what you discussed (maybe he was just quering about the neighborhood or whatev
