I was on the fence about ordering one of the new Crystal Cove based devkits. Now I certainly won&amp;#x27;t. I&amp;#x27;ll wait to see how it shakes out; to see if  low latency panels now take a backseat to an onboard camera for that special &amp;quot;social experience&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;I guess it&amp;#x27;s because I was excited about the gaming and &amp;quot;new experience&amp;quot; potential, and the hope that a young company full of smart people would excel in that space. Unfortunately, the only association I can muster between gaming and Facebook is the spamfest Farmville. The biggest experience I can think of is the data mining.&lt;p&gt;VR is one of the few upcoming tech changes I can actually see adding &amp;quot;delight&amp;quot; to my computing experience.

Facebook has a horrid record and we have no reason to trust them or anything they own.</text></comment>
