Feb 17 16:00:41 microsoft nostalgia Feb 17 16:01:19 cleaning spyware, trojans and viruses off of microsoft installs is a lucrative business tho. microsoft makes jobs! :P Feb 17 16:01:41 due to buggy internet explorer, adobe reader and adobe flash player, of course Feb 17 16:01:56 I won't thanks them ;d Feb 18 00:06:09 does anyone know of a hardware vendor interested in webos? Feb 18 00:13:49 haha..... Feb 18 00:17:47 Khaled : probably cheap chinese knockoff tablet companies Feb 18 00:18:05 if hp didnt announce they were killing it, but then announced it was coming back ? Feb 18 00:21:12 u know what I am sick and tired of the hp and webos not aiming for successs Feb 18 00:21:47 the whole situation is so frustrating that I am thinking of building my own hardware startup using webos Feb 18 00:22:46 is qtwebkit gonna bring isis browser up to mobile safari standrards? Feb 18 00:24:38 * Compn thinks it looks like hp just dumped qtwebkit and isis and ran for the hills Feb 18 00:24:52 * Compn is full of bad opnions tho Feb 18 00:27:19 built it, try it, and see for yourself Feb 18 00:27:24 hmm Feb 18 00:28:09 not as far as I can tell. they seem to be doing almost the opposite - trying to work with the current homebrew/webos internals community, trying to set up a long-term process, giving us access to code they haven't even shipped yet Feb 18 00:28:32 (as opposed to google's typical "here, have the stuff we shipped a while ago... now go away") Feb 18 00:29:01 and it looks like they're breaking it up into pieces that are useful outside of webos which is frankly kinda surprising Feb 18 00:29:15 they're clearly putting some engineering work into it? Feb 18 00:29:33 yes, thats a lot of code they opened and will open Feb 18 00:29:43 impressive stuff Feb 18 00:30:03 I've seen abandonware "open-sourcing" and it doesn't look very much at all like this - but then again maybe I'm just not seeing the running for the hills part? Feb 18 00:30:44 and the last couple of years have taught us there's something in the water over at HP anyway :P Feb 18 00:57:11 they should have atleast some kind of a hardware partner instead of just wasting all this effort Feb 18 00:59:02 hp and palm arent partners enough ? Feb 18 00:59:08 they make a lot of devices Feb 18 01:00:23 s/make/made/ **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Feb 18 02:59:58 2012
