I want augmented reality for communication and for board gaming please. Someone focus on having cool Augment Reality chat where I can walk with a friend or family member and see them right next to me.
I also would like to play board games with my friends who no longer live close. Also if I was playing a game and they could be virtually sitting next to me so that we could communicate better that would also be great.
> I must say that the whole desktop looks like something from the 90s
I think any comments about the looks of a Linux desktop must be sure to talk about what Desktop Environment are you saying that about. I find KDE and Gnome to actually have a much more modern look and feel then anything from Apple and Microsoft.
Personally I have found Windows 10 to be much much better for me as a Linux user and I can run OpenSUSE on the command line a great help. Still I think Linux has been and will continue to be the platform that pushes Desktop Environments and features. There are other issues but this is not one of the problems.
> Blogging isn't reporting, as plumbing isn't carpentry
Care to qualify that with something that even makes that analogy work? Blogger and Reporting are almost meaningless words. Some of the best reporting in technology would also be called a blog. Mary Jo Foley is a great example and re/code with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.
zdnet.com isn't even a blog it comes from ZiffDavis originally a print magazine firm's first effort to come to the internet. zdnet is owned by CBS Interactive.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols isn't a blogger the guy has been around since the 1980s reporting on technology. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sjvn1
If your making a living by reporting your a reporter. Just like all other professions you make a living at it that's your profession. To belittle that profession if they don't have a degree or at a smaller place well that isn't quite the same thing. This is the place where journalism lives since there are so few non-internet reporting positions.
Overproduction was insane. I believe that they produced 5 million ET games. They thought it would sell more console units and at a sell rate of ET at 100%.
Don't want to be that evangelist guy BUT OpenSUSE really deserves a second looks and it is non-technical family member friendly. They are super stable and provide one-click install off the web like Mint, but it install them as a regular repo which makes updating them a breeze.
On the technical I love OpenSUSE for zypper, build (Any software you need is probably on there and it will even build for other distros), rolling releases in Tumbleweed, and the best KDE default environment for over a decade..
