Facebook Is Buying Oculus

[BusyBoy]

For some completely inexplicable reason, Facebook has announced that it is buying Oculus VR—the future of virtual reality awesomeness—for $2 billion. What?!

Facebook's plans for the totally rad VR headset aren't immediately apparent, and the social media giant's announcement of the acquisition does little to clear it up, citing the possibility of using the totally righteous future headset for things like communication and education along with more obvious things like entertainment. Which is to say VR Facebook games, and hopefully—hopefully—other truly awesome stuff. Which, it damn well better.

FB is a wannabe Google. They are flush with cash and trying to buy anything that's cool.
