Facebook VR exec Hugo Barra is leaving

 Four years after joining as Facebook’s first VP of VR, ex-Xiaomi exec Hugo Barra has left the company, he said in a social media post Tuesday. Barra led Facebook’s VR efforts during a particularly tumultuous time for Oculus, coming aboard to helm the division as the once independent arm was folded deeper into its parent company after the departure of co-founder and CEO Brendan Iribe. During Barra’s time at Facebook, the company pivoted from PC-based VR systems towards all-in-one designs, relying on a partnership with Barra’s previous employer Xiaomi to help the company scale its entry-level Oculus Go headset which has since been discontinued. https://www.veteransforpeace.org/2020ballot/bl-2018-02-article-xii-chapters http://nano.knu.ac.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=Gallery&c_id=11&c_id=11&c_id=14&c_id=14&c_id=14&c_id=18&w=c&w=c&w=c&w=c&w=c&w=c&wr_id=5 http://milotorres.com/ar-ae/Blog/Post/634?Garmin.com=Garmin.com&Norton.com=Norton.c

Google’s ‘DVD Screensaver’ Easter egg makes the logo bounce around your screen accordingly

 It’s been a while since we’ve seen a good Easter egg out of Google. Not too long ago it felt like someone would discover a new hidden gag in Google’s products every few weeks. The company cranked them out like it was their job. While we haven’t seen as many new ones pop up lately, it looks like they’re still finding their way in. The latest: with the right search terms, you can make the Google search page act like an early aughts media player thats been left idling too long.

Daily Crunch: Stripe buys Y Combinator alum Bouncer for undisclosed sum

 TechCrunch Top 3 Coding school drama: The market for coding schools and bootcamps is not going to go away so long as there is an outsized market demand for developers that current educational methods can’t fulfill.

Tesla refutes Elon Musk’s timeline on ‘full self-driving’

 What Tesla CEO Elon Musk says publicly about the company’s progress on a fully autonomous driving system doesn’t match up with “engineering reality,” according to a memo that summarizes a meeting between California regulators and employees at the automaker. The memo, which transparency site Plainsite obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request and subsequently released, shows that Musk has inflated the capabilities of the Autopilot advanced driver assistance system in Tesla vehicles, as well the company’s ability to deliver fully autonomous features by the end of the year.  Tesla vehicles come standard with a driver assistance system branded as Autopilot. For an additional $10,000, owners can buy “full self-driving,” or FSD — a feature that Musk promises will one day deliver full autonomous driving capabilities. FSD, which has steadily increased in price and capability, has been available as an option for years. However, Tesla vehicles are not self-driving. FSD includes the park

This Week in Apps: App Store advertising expands, Google Play plans for safety, Epic v. Apple trial begins

 Welcome back to This Week in Apps, the weekly TechCrunch series that recaps the latest in mobile OS news, mobile applications and the overall app economy. The app industry continues to grow, with a record 218 billion downloads and $143 billion in global consumer spend in 2020. Consumers last year also spent 3.5 trillion minutes using apps on Android devices alone. And in the U.S., app usage surged ahead of the time spent watching live TV. Currently, the average American watches 3.7 hours of live TV per day, but now spends four hours per day on their mobile devices. http://forum.naronanews.com/showthread.php?tid=5455 https://amantespastoraleman.com/foro/showthread.php?tid=1475 https://saldogratispoker.com/showthread.php?tid=37501 https://plainnuts.com/showthread.php?tid=16022 http://www.ttl.co-re.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=130091 https://therockandduckshow.net/showthread.php?tid=41738 https://whitehatcommunity.com/showthread.php?tid=47189 https://emiratehub.ae/thread-309.html https://

Big Tech is now worth so much we’ve forgotten to be shocked by the numbers

 Welcome back to The TechCrunch Exchange, a weekly startups-and-markets newsletter. It’s broadly based on the daily column that appears on Extra Crunch, but free, and made for your weekend reading. If you want it in your inbox every Saturday morning, sign up here. Ready? Let’s talk money, startups and spicy IPO rumors. TechCrunch isn’t a public-market-focused publication. We care about startups. But public tech companies can, at times, provide interesting insights into how the broader technology market is performing. So we pay what we might call minimum-viable attention to former startups that made it all the way to an IPO. https://www.grungemessageboards.com/showthread.php?tid=5547 https://emiratehub.ae/thread-321.html https://forum.quizph.com/thread-19536.html https://www.jasausaha.net/thread-3431.html http://undergroundradio.eu/showthread.php?tid=22022 https://www.mac-it.ch/forum/showthread.php?tid=500278 https://moroccansoverseas.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=331296 Then there are t
