Today's Story Highlights

New Oculus Rift S Pushes VR Experience Up a Notch
Facebook unveiled its Oculus Rift S virtual reality headset at the Game
Developers Conference in San Francisco. It will be available this spring
for $399. With the Rift 2, Oculus "is following some of the trends set
by Vive -- inside-out tracking, incremental improvement, and focus on
comfort," observed David MacQueen, executive director of Strategy
Analytics' wireless media strategies service.

SparkyLinux Incinerates the Hassle Factor
SparkyLinux is a Linux distro that can ignite your daily computing
experience. Its spark is pushing me to rethink my computing priorities.
Regularly reviewing so many Linux operating systems for Linux Picks and
Pans has a serious consequence for my computing sanity. Normally, I have
a flirtatious episode with a new release each week. I'm always on the
lookout for something new and shiny.

Google Stadia: Future of Gaming or Pie in the Cloud?
Google has pulled the wraps off Stadia, a new cloud-based gaming
platform. Using the power of Google's global information infrastructure,
Stadia can stream the highest-quality games to any screen, Google CEO
Sundar Pichai said in announcing the platform, which is expected to come
online later this year. Stadia represents Google's vision for the future
of gaming.
