Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan has welcomed their second daughter named August. Mark posted a family picture saying that he and his wife are dreamers about your generation and the future.

Mark Zuckerberg posted, “Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter August! We wrote her a letter about the world we hope she grows up in, and also hoping she doesn’t grow up too fast.” The name August came from the name Augustus which has Latin origins. The name signifies reverence or holding someone in high regard.

In a letter to new born August, Mark said,” Dear August, Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.” The letter assured baby August that her parents would do the “worrying” while she just focuses on being a kid. Priscilla and Zuckerberg are already parents to 22-month old Maxima and are hoping their daughter “make time to go outside and play” before they are busy growing up.

Mark also said, Childhood is magical, and you can get to be a child only once. We will do all the worrying; you just focus on being kind. We make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation. And I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you.

When their first child Maxima (Max) was born in 2015, Mark Zuckerberg announced the creation of Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Mark will be taking two months of paternity leave like he did when his first daughter was born. The couple also shared some of the struggles that come with pregnancy as Priscilla had three miscarriages before giving birth to their first daughter.

Oculus Price Cut : Oculus, Facebook-owned virtual reality company is temporarily cutting the price of its hardware. The industry is trying to figure out the technology for immersive games and stories with low prices.

Oculus has announced a price cut on its Rift headset and Touch controllers to $399 for six weeks starting coming Monday. The price of the combined rift head headset and Touch controllers matches PlayStation VR, made by Sony. HTC developed Vive has been listed for sale at $799 on its website and also have announced price cut recently.

Facebook paid about $3 billion back in 2014 to acquire Oculus and retain its employees. Back then, Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg claimed that Oculus offers a 360-degree panoramic view through headsets. It would “become a part of daily life for billions of people”. It didn’t work out, however it is unclear that if these high prices or something inherent in the technology or any other such reason.

“Pricing discounts are sometimes a sign of weak product sales. That was not the case with Oculus, we could have cut the price sooner but wanted to wait until there were enough games, movies and other entertainment to keep a broad audience busy,” Says Jason Rubin, Oculus vice president for content.

The pace of game releases has set on the roll much faster, making way for a wider appeal.”We’re now in a space where the mass market can be much happier,” Rubin added.

Before this year, Oculus has to drop its price from $798 to $598 in March. Oculus shut the doors of its Story Studio in May, two years after it launched at the Sundance Film Festival.

A $500 million legal judgment against Oculus in February was another setback. Video game publisher ZeniMax Media Inc accused Facebook and Oculus of copyright infringement. When a jury found in favor of ZeniMax Media Inc, Oculus has asked for a new trial.

“Like many of you, I’m concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump,” Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post, which cited his family’s immigrant background and his volunteer work with undocumented schoolchildren.

Especially to ban the people from several Muslim-majority countries who are coming to the United States.
