Again, Facebook buying Oculus VR for $2 billion

 

Actually, Facebook buying Oculus VR proves that giant companies are just like me: sometimes they get drunk and buy shit off the Internet.


Facebook plans to purchase Oculus VR, maker of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, for $2 billion. The deal is comprised of $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares of Facebook stock. Facebook announced its surprise purchase via a blog post. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also revealed Facebook's reasons for the deal. "Oculus's mission is to enable you to experience the impossible. Their technology opens up the possibility of completely new kinds of experiences," Zuckerberg says. "Immersive gaming will be the first, and Oculus already has big plans here that won't be changing and we hope to accelerate."

Mark Zuckerberg Say that :

But the most interesting question, as Zuckerberg lays out, is where the technology will go in the future. "By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures." Zuckerberg says that future is coming sooner than anyone thinks, and he "can't wait to start working with the whole team at Oculus to bring this future to the world, and to unlock new worlds for all of us."

Finally, Facebook engineers Bryan O’Sullivan, Julien Verlaguet, and Alok Menghrajani spent the last few years building a programming language unlike any other.


                                                          

Social networking site Facebook has brought out a new programming language, known as Hack. The name may confuse you but don't be baffled, as its a developmental tool. Some experts claim that Hack is a new version of PHP language, the one used by Mark Zuckerberg for developing Facebook.

Earlier, Facebook co-founder Zuckerberg used PHP to build the social network for nearly a decade. It is said that the need to develop this new language originated due to the heavy growth of Facebook. Since with PHP, the set up required large computer servers to run the site, as compared to other languages.

"You edit a file and you reload a web page and you immediately get the feedback. You get both safety and speed," added O'Sullivan. Hack's benefits come without slowing down the developer, as can run without compiling.


However, the new language also runs on the Hip Hop Virtual Machine, but it allows coders and programmers the liberty to use both dynamic typing and static typing.
