Dem Gun Grabber Gun Runner?

California Democrat State Sen. Leland Yee, a prominent San Francisco liberal and gun control advocate, has been charged with federal weapon and corruption charges after allegedly agreeing to help an undercover agent get $2.5 million worth of automatic “shoulder-fired” weapons and missiles.

Yee had apparently been facilitating the shipment of Russian arms to Islamic terrorist groups in the Philippines for much bucks.

Tough break, Yee. Not every state can have a Kathleen Kane.

Lose Sixers, Lose!

The Philadelphia 76ers, last night, March 27, fell 120-98 to the Houston Rockets and tied a record for the NBA’s longest losing streak.

Philadelphia now holds or shares the losing-streak record in two of the four major sports as the 23 in a row lost by the Phillies in 1961 continues to stand as the benchmark for modern major league baseball.

All that’s needed are some really bad season from the Flyers and Eagles and the city will sweep the category.

The funny thing is that the two greatest teams in history of baseball and basketball are often argued to be the 1929 Philadelphia A’s and the the 1967 Philadelphia 76ers.

Oculus Rift, VR Becoming R?

Oculus Rift, VR Becoming R? — Virtual reality may be about to become reality.

A head-mounted display called the Oculus Rift is expected to create an entertainment industry earthquake that could rival — perhaps surpass —  cinema circa 1914 or television circa 1949.

The device is a head-worn device with earphones and goggles that reportedly provides a total immersion into a virtual world.

It was founded by Palmer Luckey in 2012  and crowdfunded. It was bought by Facebook on March 25 for $2 billion. It is expected to go to market later this year or early next.

We shall see if the hype is r or merely virtual wishful thinking.
