I'll start!

Whacha think about dat? A reusable notebook.

Wanted to get a notebook with movable pages before, but never actually did that. Now came a better solution - this thing. Not only you can move pages, but you can also erase text clearly and easily. Looks awesome to me. Just maybe a bit pricy.

And something more on keyboard topic.

Have you seen this? A typewriter keyboard. Looks pretty nice and has MX Blue Switches. Maybe he should of went with greens, as I heard they have more of a typewriter feeling.

No INSANE...   so instead of just filing your notes.. you're going to spend extra time erasing them?

I could care less about accumulated paper.. all of which IF in absolute necessity (wartime wood pulp shortage)  can be recycled...

Haha. I would certainly not use it for school. It's more for sketches, ideas, where you can easily correct. It's like a whiteboard, just in page form.

Heard that too. A lot of people got mad about that. If I recall correctly Minecraft canceled Oculus Rift support because of that.

Wow... Guess I'll be taking a look at Sony's VR headset instead then. I tried a developer version of the Oculus and found it to be really good, despite the low resolution. The movement tracking in particular was excellent.

Only the gyroscope, no eye tracking at all - I never saw eye tracking for real.

The game is quite good, WWII "MMO" (steam statement) - I don't think it's one MMO but still prety good.
