Public Outcry Over the Oculus Rift Price Misses the Point

Image
The price of being an early adopter is often very literal - you have to pay a premium to be one of the first people in the world to use new devices - sometimes entirely new types of devices. So the enormous outcry that followed the announcement of the pre-order price of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset was something that was particularly hard to products understand. On Reddit, Oculus founder Palmer Luckey wrote that Oculus is not making money on the Rift, to encourage adoption of "high quality" VR. Unfortunately, while the Oculus team has done a good job of making what appears to be, by most accounts, a groundbreaking product - our own experience with the Oculus Dev Kit 2 was hugely positive - the one area where it hasn't fared so well is in its messaging. When rumours came up that the Oculus could cost $1,500 (approximately Rs. 1 lakh), Luckey responded by saying it would be in the "ballpark" of $350 (approximately Rs. 23,000) - so when the final price...

Cabinets range: out of the kitchen.

Image
Cinderella-like cabinets sweep out of the kitchen, bestowing great looks on other rooms. The "unfitted" kitchen was a designer trend in the late 1980s. By doing away with upper cabinets, the unfitted kitchen freed up large expanses of walls for windows, atrium doors, fireplaces or displays of personal collections. The primary role of the kitchen as a place to cook was dismissed and it was seen as personal space for lounging and entertainment, hobbies and homework, for televisions and computers. But some of those designers heard a small, nagging voice asking, "Where do the dishes go?" Enter trend setting cabinetmakers like SmallBone Inc. with its Unfitted Range kitchen -- individual, handcrafted cabinets along the lines of the china cabinet and old baker's cupboard. These cabinets are built of pine or pack oak and finished like fine furniture, with painted and/or stenciled exteriors. Other manufacturers followed with similar "furniture" pieces tak...
