Dec 09 07:49:13 <rahc> it was always doomed
Dec 09 07:49:41 <rahc> I facepalmed when I first heard of it
Dec 09 07:51:35 <rahc> Mozilla making a phone OS just doesn't make sense
Dec 09 08:07:25 <pabs3> makes about as much sense as Android :)
Dec 09 08:12:21 <rahc> well, Google has the clout tp make things happen
Dec 09 08:12:55 <rahc> Google didn't just make the software, they produced the hardware together with big handset manufacturers
Dec 09 08:13:40 <rahc> Mozilla managed to get some tiny manufacturers to put their OS on phones released in developing markets
Dec 09 08:14:05 <rahc> and with no real value over the existing offerings
Dec 09 08:14:13 <rahc> I mean, what was the point of Firefox OS?
Dec 09 08:16:09 <rahc> 'The project proposal was to "pursue the goal of building a complete, standalone operating system for the open web" in order to "find the gaps that keep web developers from being able to build apps that are – in every way – the equals of native apps built for the iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone 7."'  -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS
Dec 09 08:17:24 <rahc> what a ridiculous endeavour
Dec 09 08:19:22 <rahc> "We want to enable web developers to write apps for mobile phones."  "Hey, I know, let's build an operating system, that'll solve the problem!"
Dec 09 08:19:25 <rahc> dafuq?
Dec 09 08:21:24 <rahc> it all seems like such bullshit
Dec 09 08:21:44 <rahc> apparently they're stopping because "we weren’t able to offer the best user experience possible"
Dec 09 08:22:51 <rahc> I think what they mean is "we wanted a slice of the big mobile phone pie but we didn't get it so we can't afford to do this anymore"
Dec 09 18:39:24 <Spide> Hello community. I'm searching for a posibility to use Linux on a mobile device and I found SHR. I'd like to use it with a Palm Pre 2. I saw that it is unmaintained by now, so my question is: Is there anyone who can tell me if this will work for me? 
Dec 09 18:40:38 <PaulFertser> Spide: depends on your skills and requirements.
Dec 09 18:42:07 <PaulFertser> Spide: I mean if you're an embedded developer, you can clone probably OE and build an image with E for your device, provided you know how to get a suitable kernel.
Dec 09 18:57:35 <Spide> PaulFertser: Okay, thank you very much. I'll give it a try.
Dec 09 19:28:52 <antrik> rahc: actually, FirefoxOS just got interesting quite recently, when they added the ability to create extensions. this is unique, and not really possible in this form on any other platform
