Facebook announced recently that it would begin testing ads inside its Oculus headsets in partnership with several game developers. But the concept of ads just inches from your eyeballs is already causing a backlash. “Besides resulting in a negative experience for users by forcing them to experience ads before they can launch games and other applications, ads in VR raise serious privacy concerns,” Ray Walsh, a data privacy expert at ProPrivacy said in an email interview....

Fans of The Walking Dead stories know that the series has always dropped the viewer right into the apocalypse, with little to no explanation of how it began. In AMC’s The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma in a hospital with the apocalypse well and truly in action. The origin was meant to be explored further in the Fear The Walking Dead TV series, as it showed the first months when the outbreak began, but a cause for the zombie virus was still never revealed....

Courtesy of gaming deal master @Wario64, Walmart’s Black Friday ad was released earlier today. The deals will be online on Wednesday the 25th at 7pm Eastern time before the doors open at retail locations on the 27th at 12am (meaning midnight Thanksgiving night).

It’s been confirmed that Walmart will have another PS5 restock on Wednesday, December 8 at 9am PT, though this will be exclusive to Walmart+ members. For the uninitiated, Walmart+ is a new subscription service for $12.95 per month that comes with various perks, including exclusive chances at getting next-generation consoles.

Fans who have seen the episode will know that after appearing in a hospital, returning after the “Blip,” Rambeau enters Westview as part of an investigation but becomes a part of the sitcom world and comes into direct contact with Wanda....

Although the television pictures of human suffering may be familiar, Kosovo, in some ways, is a novel kind of crisis. The sheer speed with which vast numbers were moved from their homes has been seen before (in, for example, Rwanda), but the way in which the refugees were helped was new. In Kosovo, humanitarianism has been militarized. Last week it was NATO that built refugee camps in Macedonia, relocated those who had left their homes and sent 8,000 troops to Albania, apparently to assist the Kosovars who had fled there....

That transformation must occur in three areas: people, power and professionalization. Our students need the right people on school boards who are representative of the community they serve.

And that power will be enhanced by the professionalization of school boards, with rigorous training, tools, and support to effect change. This election season was a test of getting the right people elected....

The gruesome March ambush and mutilation of four contractors in Fallujah put the spotlight on the security business in Iraq. Now that the Army is suspending many retirements and reaching deep into its personnel shelves, coaxing out its long-retired “ready-reserve” ranks, it’s worth noting the composition of the private security firms. Most of their personnel are retired or reserve members of special operations units. Navy SEALs gravitate toward the Blackwater Security Consulting, Army Rangers prefer SOC-SMG (Special Operations Consulting-Security Management Group), which has some 300 personnel in-country, and retired Green Berets and Delta Force personnel are comfortable at Illinois-based Triple Canopy, another risk-management firm....
