McDonald's to convert its Happy Meal boxes into Google Cardboard VR goggles

Of course, the more expensive versions of the contraptions, such as Samsung’s Gear VR, will feature extra sensors, extra controls, padding and straps for more comfortable viewing, but as long as you have a box with a couple of lenses, you can still enjoy some virtual experiences without paying too much.

With that in mind, McDonald’s has decided to join the VR trend, by crafting Happy Meal boxes that double as Google Cardboard VR … – Source

UK: Get a black Lumia 950 or 950 XL on an O2 contract, receive a £75 Amazon gift card

If you’re interested in Microsoft’s top of the line Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL but don’t want to pay the full price, there’s always the option of grabbing one with an operator contract in the UK. And if you choose O2 as your network and black as the color of the phone, there’s an interesting deal to be had over at Amazon.

Pick a plan starting at £27.50 per month and you can get either the Lumia 950 or the Lumia 950 XL for free. Furthermore, you’ll receive a £75 Amazon gift card for no additional cost. The gift card can be yours even if you opt for a more expensive contract, which you might want to do since the cheapest option only has 1GB of data (along with unlimited minutes and texts). You can go up to £39 per month and receive 10GB of data. The plans are identical for both handsets, rather intriguingly.

There’s no telling how long this offer will last (as per Amazon’s terms and conditions it shouldn’t even be available anymore, but it is), so make sure you act quick if it seems like a good deal.
