...why do people think she'd have any interest in amiga at all...

Heh, she has several Amigas and has attended several Amiwest Shows (the first one being in 2000) and Commodore Vegas Expos. She has several, original Amiga hardware blueprints (obtained from the engineers themselves). In fact, the name, "CommodoreOne," is inspired by the AmigaOne name.

Now where are my videos of
her at the Amiwest Show?

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that after the C64 DTV 30-games-in-one joystick, she made a prototype of an Amiga joystick with games built into it. Mammoth Toys, the company with whom she worked at the time, did not green-light the production of it.

(not that I care about minecraft since i never play it)

Any thoughts?

I know Trevor got some love for Occulus, tho seems like Occulus developers is getting a serious backlash from the Kickstarter community that got them off the ground.

Ofcourse there might be some kneejerk tilfoil reaction from x amount of people, but I do not like how everything has to be integrated.
Palmer/Occulus developer is activly responding on Reddit, explaining/defending the move.

From a buissniss point of view it makes sense. Get the backing and PR channels of a major company, that will have access to customers that otherwise would never have heard of the product.

"leave a few kickstarter/hardcore nerds all wrapped up in tinfoil behind?" No problem.

This could be the best thing that happened to Occulus, or the worst. Personally I have no idea, but it will be intresting to follow.
If facebook/occulus becomes a mainstream success, then it could have positive sideeffects on non-gaming areas.

Personally It will make me pay more attention to Jeri's project;

As I was browsing their site I found this little item;

I enjoy flight simulators, but I dont really like the need for x amount of monitors to get a full cockpit view,
nor having to pan around using a joystick switch.
