Virtual Insanity?

In other news, Meta né Oculus is raising the price of their Quest 2 virtual reality headsets by about 30%.

It's an unexpected decision - normally as a new technology gains a foothold, the price goes down, rather than up, and Meta has been doing its best to increase its presence in the marketplace.  So far, Meta has sold almost 15 million of the Quest 2, which represents 90% of VR headset sales to date, and you have to think that affordable pricing is a large part of the reason for their market share.

Since the release of its first full-colour image on July 14th, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has created a new standard for astronomical imaging.  

Located in a halo orbit around the L2 Lagrange point*,  the Webb Telescope is the most powerful space telescope ever built, and has already produced epic, breathtaking images of outer space unlike anything previously seen. I just wish that they didn't look like they were shot with the $20 starburst filter that I bought in my first year of photography classes at Ryerson.

* Lagrange points are locations in space where the gravitational attraction of the Earth and the Sun balance out, allowing satellites to remain in a stable orbit.

Can I get an amen from the Amen Corner?

My sincere compliments to CBC's headline creation staff, "Ready Prayer One" is somewhat brilliant.
