Mobile Minute:

The Mobile Minute is sponsored by SpiderCloud Wireless.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says mobile is the platform of today, and that he wants to be ready for the platform of tomorrow. With that goal, Facebook is paying $2 billion for Oculus, a maker of virtual reality glasses and software, which it sells to developers. One game developer — the maker of Minecraft — has already tweeted that he will cancel plans to make a game for the Oculus glasses now that Facebook is buying the company.
Oculus was founded by Southern California’s Palmer Luckey. The 21-year-old is living up to his name today — he and his investors are selling the company for $400 million in cash and 23 million shares in Facebook, for a grand total of $2 billion.
