Can't wait to see people wearing those around the office. Thinking about it. if you remove the desk, monitors, keyboard, mouse and just sit down bunch of programmers next to each other with those goggles it can actually be cheaper for the company to run an office even at 3.5k per headset.
a monitor keyboard and mouse costs more than 3500?
what the fuck are you going to do at work without a keyboard and mouse?
what
Clearly you don't know what an office desk costs...
Laptops run around $1k. Desks are... $1200, tops? Unless you're doing the mahogany lawyer desk thing. Keyboard and mouse are less than $100 for the set.
And we also generally don't need to replace our desks every 3-5 years, because they can no longer support the hardware sitting on them.
The tech bro kit MacBook Pro can easily get to $3k.
So just don't purchase overpriced Crapple products. Problem solved.
Windows/Linux based high end laptops are a grand or so, an entry level MacBook can easily be $1500-2000.
MYOB will run on an Intel Atom, barely running above neutral.
How many departments have you managed in your life?
Many but I'm not hiring now, sorry.
Uh huh.
Did you even read what they said? Read it again, they were talking about tables and monitors as well.
Also I may need to point out they were making a joke about cramming more people into a smaller space.
Imagine how many people you can pack in a small space. You only would need 2ft x 2ft space per person and you can put the entire company on a single floor!
