**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 18 02:59:58 2012 Jun 18 04:52:47 So http://forums.webosnation.com/webos-apps/315982-app-catalog-country-changer-pc.html is interesting ... Jun 18 04:53:30 just saw your tweet with that rwhitby Jun 18 04:53:33 looks cool Jun 18 05:35:43 even more reason for me to consider that that GMMan guy is a former insider Jun 18 05:36:06 not a bad thing Jun 18 05:47:16 EricBlade: I don't think so. The routine used is a single small step from what Impostah already does. Jun 18 05:47:50 He's doing a POST on something that Impostah currently does a GET on to get the same information. Jun 18 05:50:45 interesting. i remember when he first showed up on scene, he had all sorts of weird stuff. like "guessing" at private app ids to locate the HP Play app, and things that just made it seem like he knew stuff the rest of us don't Jun 18 06:03:43 hey rwhitby Jun 18 06:08:45 hey bhuey Jun 18 06:09:13 EricBlade: he may have a contact on the inside Jun 18 11:33:52 wow that verge writeup, im impressed Jun 18 13:58:31 rwhitby: and how can we know the binary was built from the source code you reviewed? Jun 18 13:58:45 Hello, does anyone know how I can make a service(written in C) create a popup without starting an application? Jun 18 13:59:51 Lazar_Dobrescu: i guess keeping an app running in background could solve the "not start one" problem Jun 18 14:09:50 stbuehler: afaik there is a way to do this from a js service right? but not from a native one? Jun 18 14:10:22 so maybe the only way is to create a js service "notifier" that would just relay those notifications Jun 18 14:10:35 is that what you mean? Jun 18 14:11:46 it is not known how the palm applications like say the telephone does it? Jun 18 14:13:40 hewball: which? the one from a few wees ago? Jun 18 14:14:22 theverge.com/2012/6/15/3090153/something-small-something-ahead-something-dead-a-review-of-webos-and Jun 18 14:16:12 oh, the review. I saw that headline, and then didn't follow up on it Jun 18 14:20:06 goofy sentence: "webOS, as the names implies, is built on WebKit." (from the review above) Jun 18 14:20:14 I'd think it would imply that it uses web technology :) Jun 18 14:20:15 maybe Jun 18 14:20:41 significant amounts of web technology use/depend on webkit Jun 18 14:20:46 bigbluehat: :) Jun 18 14:21:00 but they are still web technologies :) Jun 18 14:21:23 yeah, agreed Jun 18 14:21:34 but webkit does not === the web Jun 18 14:21:46 one is an implementation detail of the other much larger Good Thing™ Jun 18 14:23:05 * stefan_schmidt_w ponders if its worth to get a pre3 to toy around with Jun 18 14:23:28 * bigbluehat does the same ;) Jun 18 14:23:35 Is there something to read up about how openWebOS and webos-internals will go forward? Jun 18 14:24:00 Especially if there will be newer image produced based on this Jun 18 14:29:43 stefan_schmidt_w: sadly, things stay pretty mute on that front... Jun 18 14:30:04 the code shows up "on schedule" but no more information has been promoted about HP's "real" intent Jun 18 14:32:16 yup, I got that far :) Jun 18 20:45:42 hello Jun 18 20:45:52 everyone Jun 18 20:46:24 got z question about preware Jun 18 20:47:26 is it possible to "un-associate" ipk with preware, or I don't want preware to automaticly open when I download an ipk from the web Jun 19 00:18:32 stbuehler: we can't, but I'm considering adding the same functionality to Impostah Jun 19 00:37:26 hey Jun 19 00:54:46 hey bhuey **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jun 19 02:59:58 2012
