    According to Wikipedia there are many disadvantages of OLED.  Some are very serious.  Don't be fooled by Samsung marketing and Android marketing.

    Disadvantages[edit]

    The first dozen or so references in that snippet are more than 5 years old. Time has not stood still.

    To butcher an old adage, when you have an iPad, everything looks like a problem to solve with it. 

    If they don't have a use case for it or a sustainment strategy, then it's not going to be useful, full stop. 

    Better this way than have 20,000 iPads sitting in stores somewhere. 


    Sounds more like you just don't understand iPad's capabilities.
    I'm just about to buy one for myself. Doesn't mean it's suitable for everyone or fits contextually into every scenario. Your statement is the exact expression of what I'm talking about. You're confusing technology with business requirements.

  • Oculus founder says no Mac support coming until Apple builds 'good' system with better graphics

    Everything he said was objectively true.

    Maybe you should check the definition of objectivity.  My iMac is perfectly good for what I'm doing with it.  Is my statement objective too?
    He didn't just say "good". It's in the article you're responding to.

    "It just boils down to the fact that Apple doesn't prioritize high-end GPUs," he explained. "You can buy a $6,000 Mac Pro with the top of the line AMD FirePro D700, and it still doesn't match our recommended specs. So if they prioritize higher-end GPUs like they used to for a while back in the day, we'd love to support Mac. But right now, there's just not a single machine out there that supports it."

    no need to get butt hurt about it. Recommended specs aren't met. End of story. 

    If if you really want an oculus experience then you can get it by building a bespoke rig. Mac users I am continually told here are richer smarter and better looking than everybody else so I don't see a problem. 

    Me? I'm kinda average looking, but I do have a bit of money so I've got that going for me. Can't wait for the next response to call out my intelligence... So predictable.

    Well. No actually. We don't. Because it's nothing to do with topic. 

    It most certainly does. It addresses the implication re: "If they ever release a good computer, we will do it,"

    It also dispels the notion that "good" = high-end video card, when Apple is already, plainly and by every objective standard established as the maker of the best computers in the business in terms of overall value and user experience. 
    It was plainly obvious that by good the oculus meant the requisite hp was present. 

    I dont have have a problem with Macs. I have a bunch of them. But I've never pretended they're ever going to be maxed out gaming rigss.
