Not to be left out of the wearable computing market, Facebook on Tuesday said it has agreed to acquire Oculus VR, maker of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, for $2 billion -- $400 million in cash and $1.6 billion in Facebook stock.

Virtual friends and virtual reality: It's a match made in heaven, if you're a marketer. But not necessarily if you're a developer. Minecraft creator Markus Persson, better known as Notch, slammed the deal in a Twitter post.

I can say with certainty I did NOT see this coming. Odd move for FB IMO. Wonder what they are cooking up because the Oculus Rift project is pretty sweet.
