They put these in mobile phones to make them vibrate.

LAME !
Not only did Occulus sell out to Facebook, after the internet paid for it's development...
Not only did they RIP OFF a FREE design based on a mobile phone
(See Durovis Dive)
They made it WORSE by adding cables.

Occulus rift is just a mobile phone strapped to your eyes.

Which model? I currently wear and use Data Bank 150 model. Casio stopped making these DBs. I need to replace my old one soon, but cannot find any good replacements. I was hoping smart watches would be good, but I don't want or own a mobile phone.

Like VS? [grin]

Outside is overrated. Also, I don't own a mobile phone since I am mostly indoor.

compression is fascinating. i used to work for a mobile phone OS company where i modified the language variant compiler to compress files based on a premade dictionary of words which were common over the whole software - it cut down the ROM size by many megabytes (which was a big deal back then). You could cut the amount of traffic on the internet by having a dictonary of common cats stored in the image decoder.

Same reasons why I don't own a mobile phone (even dummy).

I don't own a mobile phone.

I don't even own a mobile phone. I just use desktop computers.

Ya, just not on topic. http://bemoredog.o2.co.uk/ looks like a new mobile phone service in the UK.

This is just stupid. Many different kinds of stupid. But I get it. It's "cool" to say that people never communicate anymore, that they're more interested in using their mobile phones than talking to people. It's bullshit

It's the hand shake of a mobile network interfering with sound equipment. It's pretty common. Likely the person with the camera has a GSM mobile phone near it.

This is not like early video games. So much media these days is not only created on but also consumed on mobile phones. And phones are easier and more convenient when held in one hand, portrait mode.

My personal opinion is that this is the way things are going, as long as the devices retain the same form factor then they're simply easier to use this way.

Sigh. Its not that I dont want a "spiritual experience", its just that the "spiritual" DOES NOT EXIST. This is chemicals reacting with the neurons in your brain, making you think you are experiencing "spiritual" things. It doesn't matter that you go "you just dont understand,man, try it yourself" blahblahblah. I dont have to. Because whatever subjective experience I'll have or you've had, will not change some basic facts that we all have to deal with: That we , along with our brains and our consciousness, are evolved biological phenomena that abide by the laws of physics. We even know that the brain is a fallible instrument thats just SO easy to fool, you dont even need drugs. Right now there are literally billions of people who are wasting almost their entire life believing in nonsense, They use laptops, mobile phones, planes and they've seen the freaking moonlanding, and they think a freaking Palestinian zombie was the son of god who rescued us from collective sin because a couple ate a fruit recommended by a talking snake.
And that's not even the dumbest religion.
People believe such bullshit because they are not really thinking straight , not taking in the facts discovered by science, not understanding the process by which such discoveries are made, not understanding the carefulness by which they are doublechecked, not understanding the implications that such discoveries have.

the whole family and doctors holding mobile phone cameras and video cameras right into her face prob made it bit awkward for her. They should have tried to enjoy such a nice moment as it happened
