FACEBOOK PURCHASED OCULUS RIFT FOR 2B

Did you know that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg bought Oculus Rift for $2 Billion Dollars on March 25, 2014. Oculus Rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display. Ocuclus Rift is being developed by Oculus VR and this will be available fourth quarter of 2014 or early 2015. Oculus is said to be the new edge of gaming because it uses a virtual reality headset thus it will take 3D gaming into new heights. Facebook plans to develop Oculus Rift to extend its heights which includes communications,media and entertainment, education and other areas.

I think Mark Zuckerberg want to extend his business and popularity that's why he bought Oculus. Some game developers and game addicts doesn't agree with Zuckerberg buying the Oculus because they said that he will just use it for advertisements and not really advancing or developing the technology further. We'll just have to wait and see what Mark Zuckerberg can do.

With today's fast technology development, nothing is impossible. Flying cars may be available in the near future and there will be no pollution and traffic problem anymore.

THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE DOG

BIG SPLASH

The Tibetan Mastiff originated in Central Asia and is an ancient type of domestic dog which is also use for guarding herds.

It was said that the Tibetan Mastiff was a misnomer as the early western visitors to Tibet misnamed it, it should have been called a "Himalayan Mountain Dog."

Today Tibetan Mastiff is known to be the most expensive dog in the world as it cost almost £1million.

The most priciest dog in the world is the Red Tibetan Mastiff. Big Splash or Hong Dong in Chinese is a Red Tibetan Mastiff who was luckily sold to a multi-millionaire coal Baron of the north of China for 10 million Chinese yuan, or £945,000. He is a very lucky dog because his owner is a millionaire and he can eat anything he wanted.
