Hasta La Gadget!

If you’ve shoved one VR headset on your face, you’ve pretty much shoved them all on your face. They all immerse you in a 3D world with a device that tracks your head movement so you can look around. The Fove on the other hand, does more than just tra…

Half a dozen years in the slammer – that would be the number of years that Alix Tichelman has to spend in prison after she pled guilty to offering a Google executive a dose of heroin in California, where this particular dose roved to be fatal at the end of it. Alix Tichelman pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter and drugs charges, which ended up with Forrest Timothy Hayes losing his life in 2013.

Apart from that, it was said that Tichelman failed to seek out help for Hayes as he passed out after she injected him with heroin as they were spending time together onboard his yacht. According to the police, she was a prostitute, and the pair did meet up in the past on several occasions. This particular plea was as such, since it involved a deal that would include a reduced manslaughter charge.

According to Tichelman’s lawyer, Larry Biggam, he did expect Alix to serve halve the amount of jail time, since she will also be on the receiving end of credit for the time that she has already served to date, which is close to a year. In fact, Tichelman agreed to the plea deal due to the evidence surrounding the case. What do you think of the sentence?

Google has now introduced the inclusion of Tweets to its search results on the mobile platform, and this is made available through the official Android and iOS Google apps. Of course, the good news train does not stop here, since similar Tweets inclusion will also be part of the search results on desktop and mobile browsers, too. These search results happen to be triggered by “Twitter” keyboard searches when it comes to specific accounts and hashtags, and you will also be on the receiving end of popular results from Twitter where other keywords are concerned.

Google claims that this happens to be an attempt to include “real-time info” into its results, and hopes that such a move will offer Twitter users with a wider audience for their content, too. This ought to prove to be the start of what might be a great relationship for Twitter where broadening its reach is concerned, and might very well be a factor in exposing Twitter itself to those who have yet to jump aboard the bandwagon.

Twitter, of course, still has the responsibility to place Tweets in front of additional eyeballs than they might have reached in the first place, Twitter still has their work cut out for them that it is worth having a Twitter account. [Press Release]

We do know that the folks over at Oculus have already sent out invites to the press for them to attend a special event that is set to happen this coming June 11th in San Francisco. The company did offer the image that you see above, in addition to the invite that carried word on how consumer pre-orders are set to happen some time later in the year. The invite itself carries the tagline “Step into the Rift,” which would more or less point to the very real possibility that additional information concerning the consumer Rift headset launch in addition to final hardware details could be divulged as June 11 rolls around the corner.

An interesting observation would be this – the Oculus Rift headset shown in the image does not seem to match up to any current hardware, perhaps there is a new version of developer hardware that will be based on the final headset specifications which will be shown. This particular design does come with integrated headphones, where Oculus VR did mention in the past that integrated audio would very much be part of the deal where the shipping version is concerned. Ah well, nothing like a little bit of patience for all to be revealed, right? It is not like they are going to announce an adult-content blocking feature.

Authorities in Florida made two arrests and confiscated a cache of weapons and drugs after receiving a tip that two men were planning to attack a police department, church and youth camp, with a “rocket-propelled grenade launcher.”

“They certainly had the means to carry out a threat,” Eustis Police Chief Fred Cobb told The Huffington Post.

Cobb’s department, along with the Saint Mary of the Lakes Catholic Church and an Elks Lodge youth camp were the intended targets of the attack, according to a tip authorities received from a jail inmate on Friday.

That tip led investigators to a Marion County property, where they seized 22 firearms, several containers of black powder, two bulletproof vests, over a pound of marijuana, powder and crack cocaine, prescription pills and drug paraphernalia, police said.

Authorities say they found 32-year-old Christopher Conger and 29-year-old Jeremy Robertson inside an outbuilding, but were unable to locate the rocket launcher the tipster said the men planned to use in their alleged attack.

“I happen to know the confidential informant,” Cobb said. “Even though I would question his credibility, everything he provided proved to be accurate, other than the grenade launcher.”

A safe found in the shed that allegedly hid a rocket launcher.

The tipster allegedly told the Marion County Sheriff’s Office that Conger and Robertson were motivated by recent “run-ins” with police, but Cobb said he is unaware of any ongoing issues with either man.

“We’ve had interactions with them over the years, but nothing that stands out that would cause them to have, in my opinion, any ill will toward the police department,” the chief said.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office did not return a call for comment from HuffPost on Tuesday. In an interview with Mynews13.com, Maj. Terry Brevard said it remains unclear whether the men actually had access to a grenade launcher.

“The fact that a rocket-propelled grenade launcher wasn’t found doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist,” Brevard told the news station. “We hope we can find it, if it’s out there.”

Cobb said the grenade launcher was likely “nothing but bravado.”

“The weapons and bulletproof vests concern me more so than a grenade launcher, which is hard to come by for the average person,” Cobb told HuffPost.

Conger, of Umatilla, was charged with seven criminal counts and Robertson, of Ocala, faces eight counts. The alleged offenses include possession of cocaine with intent to sell, grand theft of a firearm, using or displaying a firearm during a felony and wearing a bulletproof vest during certain crimes.

Neither man has been arrested in connection with the alleged grenade launcher attack.

“We have a Norman Rockwell town with our streetscapes and lakefront property and the caliber of people that live in our community,” said Cobb. “So it’s a sobering reminder that things like this can happen in Small Town USA.”
