Mar 07 05:07:37 <summatusmentis> hey EricBlade, are you going to be pursuing the music fingerprinting stuff?
Mar 07 05:50:16 <EricBlade> summatusmentis: i really don't have time to do that on my own .. still maintaining two apps and a full time gig is way too much for me to add anything else at the moment
Mar 07 08:18:36 <KungPhoo> IÄm still having the problem: "The VAT number associated with your account has expired or is invalid. Please click on My Account
Mar 07 08:18:36 <KungPhoo> and verify your VAT number. Until this has been corrected, you cannot submit an app to the
Mar 07 08:18:36 <KungPhoo> Developer Portal." - day 12 now
Mar 07 16:35:01 <burgf> is there an alternative keyboard for webos
Mar 07 16:50:13 <summatusmentis> burgf: wterm implements it's own, but other than that, not really
Mar 07 16:51:54 <burgf> not surprised
Mar 07 16:52:49 <burgf> Just saw the com score for smartphones and Palm isn't doing too bad for a dead platform.
Mar 07 16:53:17 <summatusmentis> well, so, Palm doesn't exist, "dead platform" is a falsehood
Mar 07 16:54:00 <burgf> Palm phones still exist
Mar 07 16:55:15 <summatusmentis> indeed
Mar 07 16:55:21 <summatusmentis> webOS users are pretty loyal
Mar 07 16:55:30 <summatusmentis> but even most of the webOS phones in use are HP branded
Mar 07 16:55:45 <burgf> I doubt it
Mar 07 16:56:10 <burgf> http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2012/3/comScore_Reports_January_2012_U.S._Mobile_Subscriber_Market_Share
Mar 07 16:56:12 <summatusmentis> actually, no, I'm probably wrong, I forgot that the pre2 was palm branded
Mar 07 16:56:39 <summatusmentis> probably some of those palm branded phones are the Centro also
Mar 07 16:57:30 <burgf> looks lie Rim is sinking
Mar 07 16:57:42 <summatusmentis> yeah, but that's been "known" for a while
Mar 07 18:37:18 <hotdp> iPad 3 > TP :P
Mar 07 19:47:13 <bri3x> new ipad looks interesting. If it was $200 cheaper I would get it
Mar 07 21:21:00 <leiru> bri3x: for a techie product it sounds like: "if the real good quality coffee was 5 cent cheaper, i would buy it, enjoy it and have a lot of fun. but that 5 cent *rageface*" <-- SCNR trolling
Mar 07 21:34:43 <Brybry> 40% cheaper product to 5 cents cheaper coffee is a bad comparison
Mar 07 21:55:40 <EricBlade> ooh yay, GVoice has made it to the "Recommended" page on the catalog
Mar 07 22:34:22 <PatrickC> EricBlade, congrats
Mar 07 23:15:57 <leiru> Brybry: i dont know what a coffee in your country is about. but i hope you got the main point.
Mar 07 23:20:01 <leiru> Brybry: and my main point is also that you will get a product like the touchpad equally closely priced to the ipad2, so where are that 40%?
Mar 07 23:22:43 <leiru> (before the firesale, but all that happened)
Mar 07 23:56:06 <alexcharis> what are the downsides to running a device without a profile? just no catalog and no backup?
Mar 07 23:56:14 <alexcharis> alternatively, any way to actually sign in to a profile over wifi?
Mar 07 23:59:41 <nieve> not sure about the former, but are you having trouble signing in over wifi?
Mar 08 00:00:36 <nieve> on a touchpad I was slightly confused because when it was slow to get on my local network it returned to the screen before... then popped up that it was connected after a couple of seconds and allowed me to proceed
Mar 08 00:09:04 <dwc-> impostah
Mar 08 00:09:48 <dwc-> the stock phones all want a cellular data connection
Mar 08 00:13:56 <nieve> oh yeah, I think remember that I had to use metadoctor to preload a wifi db and skip activation to get my screenless pre working
Mar 08 00:14:28 <nieve> might be worth trying preloading the wifi db
