**Oculus Rift Sales Event: A Chance to Get into the Growing VR Universe**

The Oculus Rift has been drifting behind the HTC Vive and the surprising success of the top-selling Sony PlayStation VR, but Facebook-owned Oculus is looking to boost sales with their Summer of Rift Sales Event. As a result, a tempting package of the Oculus Rift Cutting Edge Tech, including a pair of the Oculus Touch handsets and the VR headset, can now be purchased for just $400. This essentially makes the kit half price from its initial debut, making it an attractive option for those interested in entering the growing VR Universe.

**Drone Safety: The Dark Side of Hacking**

Some drone pilots are now buying third-party programs to get around restrictions built into flight control software. These restrictions, which are meant to keep drones below a set maximum elevation and away from airports where aircraft carrying actual people are operating, are designed to prevent accidents and ensure safe flying practices. However, some vendors, such as the ironically named website Copter Safe, which is based in Russia, have taken to selling hacked or modified drone software that circumvents these restrictions. This has raised concerns among authorities, who have responded by releasing new auto-updating software that is less vulnerable to the modifications.

**iPhone 8 Rumors: A Look at the Potential New Colors**

Notorious Tech leaker Benjamin Geskin has taken to Twitter to share some exciting news about the upcoming iPhone 8x10 edition. According to Geskin, the new phone could come in two new colors that aren't so much colors as textures - a regular mirror finish and a Black Mirror finish. The mirror finish looks particularly impressive, and Apple does have a habit of introducing new colors with new phones. While we'll know more about the iPhone 8 in September, it's clear that Apple is planning to make some exciting changes.

**Getting into VR: A New Era for Gaming**

The Oculus Rift is an exciting new platform for gamers who want to experience immersive virtual reality. With its Summer of Rift Sales Event, Oculus is making it easier than ever to get started with the system. The package includes a pair of Oculus Touch handsets and the VR headset itself, all for $400. This is a significant discount from the initial debut price, making it an attractive option for those who want to experience the growing world of VR. However, keep in mind that you'll need a hot rod PC to make the system work well - a small additional cost to consider.

**Drone Pilots: Be Aware of the Risks**

Flying drones can be a fun and exciting hobby, but it's essential for pilots to be aware of the risks involved. The FAA has strict regulations in place to ensure safe flying practices, including restrictions on altitude and airspace. However, some drone pilots have been found to be circumventing these rules by using hacked or modified software. This can result in serious consequences, including fines and even jail time. As a pilot, it's crucial to stay informed about the latest developments and regulations, as well as to always follow safe flying practices.

**The Future of VR: Exciting Times Ahead**

As we move forward into the growing world of VR, it's clear that exciting times are ahead. With Oculus Rift leading the charge, the competition is heating up, and manufacturers like Sony PlayStation are making waves with their innovative hardware. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking to experience something new, the future of VR has never looked brighter.
