First carefully consider what you want to print. For example, this resin type printer is not a great technology for creating strong replacement parts around the house.


Actually they can use this technology with all sorts of material


This stuff is great, but too bad resin prints are brittle, and nearly useless at building replacement parts that require any strength.


Isn't this the same as the current nexus 5 model, just an updated OS? Has the price dropped from a year ago?


It's the same price.


Where is the source code?


Facebook has yet to release their promised, but long overdue (about 3 months) linux SDK. So about 10 days ago, a group of developers felt compelled to reverse engineer and come up with their own FLOSS version.

Meanwhile, facebooculus is still claiming they will release "soon", and claim to have multiple dedicated developers on it. They have been saying this for weeks. It would be embarrassing, but huge with if a small group of unpaid enthusiast/researchers/hackers beat the facebook team by releasing a working linux (and open source) version.


It is also like a bubble. A tiny pin prick, and pop! Which is also doubly apt because some consider the market price of bitcoin a bubble.


This helps explain why all bitcoin wallet apps are banned from the app store.


Just find a friendly localbitcoins seller. Hand him cash once a week while you're at your favorite coffee shop.


You are wrong about point number 1. The purpose of mining is to process and secure bitcoin transactions. The work that goes into mining is what provides the utility of bitcoin. The 25 btc mining reward is just an incentive.


The problem with your theory is that it permits anyone to start their own Bitcoin fork and magically people will use it.


There are other indicators that this might be legit trade volume. Things like state-sponsored media exposure, the large number of Chinese bitcoin miners, and also that Chinese are already familiar with another very popular digital currency (QQ).


>state-sponsored media exposure

The CCTV spot wasn't state sponsored per se, but I know what you mean.

>the large number of Chinese bitcoin miners

Oh?

Here's to hoping. I'd love it to be real.
