**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 05 02:59:57 2011 Nov 05 03:04:37 html5 audio is working fine here, at least with Subsonic Nov 05 03:35:29 hmm. i just took a screenshot accidentally, using my bluetooth keyboard. Nov 05 03:48:15 anyone want to test the "Show Purchased Apps" functionality in Impostah 0.9.15 in the beta-apps feed? Nov 05 03:48:35 I hadn't realised I'd purchased 145 webOS apps in total ... Nov 05 04:18:17 EricBlade: How do you bluetooth screenshot? Nov 05 04:18:25 How is screnshot formed? Nov 05 05:29:20 * DougReeder waves hello Nov 05 05:49:39 * DougReeder waves Nov 05 06:04:39 There are/were 4.2 million webOS users. Nov 05 06:09:11 Where's that figure from? Nov 05 06:09:18 Impostah Nov 05 06:09:50 https://twitter.com/#!/webosinternals/status/132698967254376448 Nov 05 06:10:26 4.2 million users have installed Impostah at one time or another? Nov 05 06:11:25 no, 4.2 million webOS accounts Nov 05 06:12:16 They're known be sequentially numbered? Nov 05 06:13:19 I created two in a row Nov 05 06:13:28 * DougReeder nods Nov 05 06:13:47 and numbers for my other accounts match timeframes Nov 05 06:20:26 That's useful info -- estimates were there were several million webOS devices out there, but this is more concrete. Nov 05 06:24:48 and generally normal users will only have 1 Nov 05 06:26:48 1 account ;) Nov 05 06:27:22 waiting for my dev TP to boot to see what my account# is Nov 05 06:27:31 it won't be low, that's for sure Nov 05 06:29:22 Man, I suck at Supersonic. Nov 05 06:29:36 My number's under 63000. Nov 05 06:29:50 IT'S OVER 9000!!! Nov 05 06:30:38 Yep, account# 3,500,000 and change Nov 05 06:30:57 huh. isUserAllowedUpdateCountry == FALSE Nov 05 06:31:05 well there's yer problem Nov 05 06:35:33 rwhitby: I registered my first webos device on the Saturday of Doom Nov 05 06:35:58 that evening, so an entire day's worth of people had a headstart on me. Nov 05 06:36:23 as far as timelines go Nov 05 06:37:41 And with that, bedtime. G'nite! Nov 05 06:38:54 Anyone besides me get horrible framerate and control lag in Glyder 2 HD under 3.0.4? Nov 05 06:45:23 Interestingly, Glyder 2 HD runs fine (but the graphics are lower-res, of course). Nov 05 06:46:42 Erm, Glyder 2 (non HD) runs fine, that is. Nov 05 06:51:01 ... but installing the Muffle System Logging patch makes Glyder 2 HD run fine again. Hrm. Nov 05 13:11:11 Any news about coupon code? Nov 05 14:14:42 anyone working on a fix to the 3.0.4 sound issue? Nov 05 15:11:17 lighthart: Closed captioning? Nov 05 15:45:13 Has anyone here implemented power scrolling in an Enyo app? I'm trying to do so, but could use some pointers on how to capture the gesture Nov 05 17:06:26 so I assume the coupons offered for dev devices havent been emailed out yet? Nov 05 17:07:02 looks like the details made hacker news - likely going to have a bunch of new signups just trying to get a cheap touchpad - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3199739 Nov 05 17:08:46 I don't think HN audience will sign up just to get cheap touchpad. Nov 05 17:08:58 If anything, that could bring more skilled developers. Nov 05 17:11:06 oh hey would you look at this http://www.precentral.net/app-review-vooglexl Nov 05 17:37:45 i would think most of the current HN crowd would have picked up webOS long ago if they were interested Nov 05 20:11:50 rwatkins: we're dealing with HP here, I highly doubt they won't get sent out for a while. Nov 05 20:13:52 I would guess that up until the "consideration" deadline they won't send them out Nov 05 20:14:15 they probably have a limited number and are going to try to parcel them out as effectively as possible Nov 05 20:17:40 The vienna channels may also have them still remaining, and or what was sent back from devs Nov 05 20:17:49 Some of these may not be new devices Nov 05 20:18:53 new/refurbs* Nov 05 20:20:10 anyone here trying to get one? Nov 05 20:21:46 I am, not sure I'll have money in time, but who knows Nov 05 20:22:28 I don't think I count as a developer Nov 05 20:26:18 you only need to have a developer account to qualify Nov 05 20:41:06 wrea: you here? Nov 05 20:41:20 Yeah Nov 05 20:43:19 ajay, whatcha need? Nov 05 21:01:03 how long does it take to receive the coupon code for Touchpad? Nov 05 21:14:46 dwc-: you here? Nov 05 21:14:59 wrea: oh don't need anything, just wanted to give you me Pre+ update! Nov 05 21:16:45 I called Palm repair, and they .. are just annoying.. asking me the same questions every call. This guy was a bit more insistent on tracking # (which, silly me, i never kept).. i told him that it's in their records.. it's not he said.. then he advised me to call UPS and get it from them. I was livid at the suggestion. My response? I think we both know that won't work, and then was all.. ok, if you think they'll give me the tracking number, let's ask. TOGETHER! Nov 05 21:17:19 hwang: depends on how they do it. I got mine last month _real_ quick (like next day), but since this month there's going to be such high demand i expect it to take longer.. Nov 05 21:18:27 I'm _really_ hoping that they're going to do it on priority (like time in developer program, # of apps, etc), as this announcement has hit too many sites, and there'll be people signing up left and right :( Nov 05 21:21:17 Yeah, they ask me for a tracking number a few times. I told them it was already confirmed as received as i got a call from hp/palm about it. Then they dropped it Nov 05 21:24:45 vaguely, what's up? Nov 05 21:39:39 wrea: obviously i didn't get a tracking # from UPS. So I was glad to have wasted some of his time (even tho i was on the phone almost an hour for that call!).. so he went to find the UPS acct #. Failed. Investigated, and someone would call me back Nov 05 21:41:06 dwc-: just wanted to make sure you got my email, hadn't heard.. Nov 05 21:42:16 wrea: surprisingly! they called me back! Said UPS lost the shipment (unlikely, but i'll go with it since) they said they'll send me a replacement device! Score. Nov 05 21:46:04 Wow...they called you back. Surprising. Nov 05 21:50:03 wrea: i was as floored as you! And prompt resolution! I mean, i'm not gonna lie, i probably wouldn't've called them if you hadn't urged, but.. looks like it's workin out! :) oh crap did i just jinx it? Nov 05 21:51:07 most likely Nov 05 21:51:51 go knock on wood Nov 05 21:51:54 while you still can Nov 05 21:51:59 hi Nov 05 21:54:18 its too late, you're dealing with palm support, wood isnt going to help Nov 05 21:55:42 ajay: oh. sorry. yea I saw it. yes I'll take one. what do you need, my IMEI? Nov 05 22:00:56 * ajay never had to knock on wood.. but i knew someone that had.. it makes me wonder if i could Nov 05 22:02:11 dwc-: oh, there's this guy on P|C that says he has veer unlock codes. He gave me one (out of 60!) and it worked. I asked for others' codes from him, but none of them worked. and/or i can give you a digitalunlock code Nov 05 22:02:57 * ajay is looking at a 'personal articles policy' to cover his cell phone & mtn bike http://www.statefarm.com/insurance/other/personal.asp Nov 05 22:03:38 dwc-: if you, or anyone else is curious, the VzPre3 is a PoS. gonna bust out the ATT one soon, but need to get a SIM.. ;| Nov 05 22:07:21 ajay: Grab a check AT&T Prepaid phone. That'll work. Nov 05 22:07:28 *a cheap Nov 05 22:09:48 * halfhalo finds no difference between the vzw pre 3 and att pre 3 in terms of build quality or anything like that. Nov 05 22:10:25 you people with your multiple pre3s Nov 05 22:11:17 blame the government. Nov 05 22:11:44 blame the communists Nov 05 22:18:29 * dwc- blames halfhalo Nov 05 22:18:39 some communist in US government? Nov 05 22:19:38 blame leo? Nov 05 22:21:53 blame leo. Nov 05 22:29:53 yea, I guess the coupon timeline likely on the same schedule as the app hack results Nov 05 22:31:27 we're now one for four on getting app hack results out on the announced time. Nov 05 23:11:51 halfhalo: ping Nov 05 23:15:18 INTERCEPTED Nov 05 23:22:03 Oh dear. The Engadget thread on the release of touchpads for developers is like concentrated trollsauce in the comments Nov 05 23:23:08 They've got everyone in there.. the "ZOMG ANDROID" fans, the "Y WE NO GET THEM"/"They want Tax ID for dev program!" people, the "Apple > You" folks.. Everyone came out to the party. Nov 05 23:23:35 * Tibfib_ doesn't read much engdaget anymore Nov 05 23:26:22 I feel bad for the peeps left over. Nov 05 23:26:33 keep in my rss feed, but don't go to teh site much Nov 05 23:28:05 * fxspec06 doesn't read engadget much anymore either Nov 05 23:28:24 i think i used to read it more than i should have.. Nov 05 23:28:39 what is engadget? Nov 05 23:29:31 sugardave ? Nov 05 23:29:39 VICODANAX: it's a place you don't want to go Nov 05 23:29:44 halfhalo: pm Nov 05 23:30:20 i was trawlalawing Nov 05 23:41:15 * dwc- browses the internet but doesn't read the comments Nov 05 23:42:58 same here dwc- Nov 05 23:50:32 i used to read comments. and participate. but. times have changed. Nov 05 23:51:05 the grass is different on the other side of the fence Nov 06 00:07:49 fxspec06: which side? Nov 06 00:27:24 dkirker: the developer side.. the 'creator' side Nov 06 00:27:37 opposed to the consumer side Nov 06 00:27:38 ah Nov 06 00:27:42 I see :) Nov 06 00:32:34 oh wow i just figured out why this algorithm was ridiculously slow Nov 06 00:32:42 cool Nov 06 00:32:50 * fxspec06 random thoughts Nov 06 01:36:51 sales reports are out! Nov 06 01:46:49 woot Nov 06 01:57:08 we roll the clocks back tonite dont we? Nov 06 01:57:38 yes we do Nov 06 01:58:08 can anyone recommend a (free) mediaplayer for webos Nov 06 01:58:29 i want to stream stuff via http to my webos device Nov 06 02:19:11 WTF Nov 06 02:19:12 just had an advert in the middle of a youtube video Nov 06 02:19:16 stupid! Nov 06 02:19:27 yeah, its getting really bad Nov 06 02:19:50 i mean i could skip it but it kinda ruined the song i was listening to (not watching) Nov 06 02:22:43 and an ad at the end Nov 06 02:22:53 3 ads during that video.. Nov 06 02:30:27 Thats part of how they expect to make youtube profitable Nov 06 02:30:36 last I had heard it was still functioning at a loss Nov 06 02:31:01 but closing in quickly as they implemented the adverts Nov 06 02:51:51 why don't they just offer advanced features for hardcore users, like every other site. ever. Nov 06 02:53:10 Do you mean utube? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Nov 06 02:59:57 2011
