Abstract: The HTC Vive has historically been the most expensive option in the current virtual reality headset line-up, beating the £499 Oculus Rift and £350 PlayStation VR. But why the high price? The HTC Vive offers an unparalleled experience by providing users w...
Abstract: Likewise, I think there's an optimum tablet size, and any faffing outside of this seems to me like a silly waste of time. Most apps seem faddish and absurd to me, I grumble whenever Facebook changes the UI for no apparent reason, and I do not get biometri...
