Aug 01 23:09:11 <timothy237> what are the chances of open webos appearing on any devices
Aug 01 23:13:04 <destinal> timothy237: I think the chances are pretty good
Aug 01 23:13:37 <timothy237> after reading the news I feel it is really slim
Aug 01 23:13:56 <timothy237> how many people are actively working on webos?
Aug 01 23:13:58 <destinal> timothy237: you let webosnations bring you down based on unfounded supposition, you mean?
Aug 01 23:14:28 <timothy237> unfounded? It came from HP
Aug 01 23:15:25 <destinal> timothy237: just because HP doesn't promise support for things doesn't mean the community won't find a way, there are a number of people who have expressed interest and who are working with the publically available code and awaiting the things that have not yet been published
Aug 01 23:15:51 <timothy237> how many people are actually involved in the community?
Aug 01 23:16:12 <timothy237> that's the question
Aug 01 23:16:29 <destinal> sufficient number I think, but there hasn't been any kind of official count, lol
Aug 01 23:16:41 <destinal> you know how communities are
Aug 01 23:17:32 <destinal> how many people are working on cyanogenmod for android porting?  I have no idea how many but it still gets done somehow
Aug 01 23:17:55 <timothy237> CM team is i don't know but still after almost a year it aint perfect
Aug 01 23:18:24 <destinal> timothy237: well if you're asking will it be perfect, I think the answer is likely to be no :P
Aug 01 23:18:48 <destinal> official webos wasn't perfect nor is official android
Aug 01 23:18:48 <timothy237> I don't care too much anymore anyway
Aug 01 23:19:08 <timothy237> just read the news and was surprised. Have not boot that touchpad in months
Aug 01 23:19:34 <destinal> timothy237: err, but the touchpad still works as-is, right?
Aug 01 23:19:53 <timothy237> yea official webOS is a joke. AMazing they tried ot sell it
Aug 01 23:20:20 <timothy237> I never liked it.
Aug 01 23:20:30 <dwc-> then why do you care about open webos?
Aug 01 23:20:44 <dwc-> what do you think is going to be different such that you might like it?
Aug 01 23:20:45 <timothy237> the hardware isn't that good but the main problem is the OS
Aug 01 23:21:19 <timothy237> so slow and buggy and the apps....
Aug 01 23:21:33 <destinal> timothy237: well if you want it to be improved, you can help improve the situation
Aug 01 23:21:42 <destinal> or you could just complain about it..
Aug 01 23:21:57 <destinal> that's certainly easier
Aug 01 23:22:30 <timothy237> no community of volunteers can change that. HP had a chance but bailed.
Aug 01 23:23:33 <dwc-> some communities of volunteers have put out some pretty amazing stuff
Aug 01 23:23:38 <destinal> I disagree, especially with the apps but also with the core OS now that it's being open sourced.  as for apps, if you want more apps you could learn how to write the one you want and sell it
Aug 01 23:23:43 <destinal> or give it away
Aug 01 23:24:31 <dwc-> but, it doesn't sound like you think webos or openwebos/webosce will get any better
Aug 01 23:24:48 <dwc-> so why do you care whether it will work on any devices?
Aug 01 23:27:16 <timothy237> difference is webOS community is tiny and an OS that uses webkit to render the UI isn't going to be fast
Aug 01 23:29:26 <timothy237> after so much crap how many people are left. WebOS developers have been crapped on so many times.
Aug 01 23:31:42 <destinal> timothy237: ok, I think we can safely mark you as "troll" and move on
Aug 01 23:35:17 <timothy237> speaking the truth is trolling? ok
Aug 01 23:40:06 <kesne> I'm with destinal on this one.
Aug 01 23:51:21 <timothy237> dwc-: i would have still tried Open WebOS but my expectations would have been low. I bought the touchpad because it was $100 and barely used it especially since i got an iPad. I had the first Palm Pre on Sprint for over a year and it was a horrible experience ever.
Aug 01 23:52:03 <kesne> timothy237: Then why are you here?
Aug 01 23:52:27 <kesne> If you're just going to complain and not contribute, then I just suggest you leave the community.
Aug 01 23:52:34 <timothy237> to see whats new
Aug 01 23:52:44 <kesne> webosnation.com
Aug 01 23:53:09 <kesne> It's just annoying when people always complain about stuff.
Aug 01 23:53:11 <timothy237> that site barely has anything
Aug 01 23:53:20 <kesne> And that's exactly what's new.
Aug 01 23:53:40 <timothy237> maybe people didn't complain enough so Palm and HP kept releasing halfass products
Aug 01 23:53:52 <kesne> I'm sure that's exactly what happened.
Aug 01 23:54:04 <kesne> All we needed to do was complain more and everything would have been perfect.
Aug 02 00:11:55 <LarrySteeze|TP> anyone here a plex user?
