I had the chance a rudimentary, early VR headset about ten years ago thanks to a friend who works in the gaming industry and it was absolute fire. And again, this is ten years ago. In tech terms, that's an eon. So there's no doubt in mind that the...

Another 'Tesla killer' gets injured

Media outlets should stop using the expression 'Tesla killer'. In fact, they should probably stop using this metaphor completely. There are two reasons for that. First, it's overused and abused. It no longer works. It no longer sounds good, or fun,...
