  1. Now this is what you people should have read first by digitalboy · · Score: 1 · on Amiga's New SDK: A First Glance

    Although nobody here seems aware of it, Amiga and Tao made a deal with each other earlier this year. Get the details here

  2. Re:Hmm by Kaufmann · · Score: 2 · on Heterogenous Multiprocessor Chip Runs Tao/Elate

    Yes it is. The bastards are making a bundle out of it too. Ah, business in the Internet age: take a completely un-original idea that's been thoroughly researched and investigated for the past few decades, make it just a little bit less clever, slap a "Java(tm)" (or "XML", or "Web", or "Linux", or "e-", et cetera) on it, and get ready to make millions! :)

    Ah well. I guess I'm just jealous.

  3. Amiga? by Jouni · · Score: 3 · on The "New" Amiga Finally Releases Something
    While I'm a long time Amiga-user and love(d) the system, I can't really get excited about the resurrection of the platform. You can wake up the OS but to make it live you have to create all the applications and content from scratch, and it's been quite a long break for everyone.

    However, one of the parties behind this movement, the Tao group I find very interesting indeed.

    Platform-independent, binary-portable high performance Java implementation? I'd sign up today.

  4. Oh my god they killed sony! by cheekymonkey_68 · · Score: 2 · on Playstation 2 Recalled In Japan

    Its that curse again
    Sony bought into TAO ...
    TAO are involved in OS development for Amiga ...
    The Amiga has a well documented curse
    Hence all their troubles are really THE CURSE OF THE AMIGA.

    This is just my paranoid theory, your mileage may vary...
    and remember just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean their not out to get you.

  6. Didn't Tao do this? by FooBarSmith · · Score: 1 · on Transmeta Awarded Another Patent

    If I remember rightly, a company founded by an ex ZX Spectrum programmer, Tao were flaunting a radical new byte code based OS a few years ago. This theoritcally allowed systems to be built with Multiple (Different) Processors and scale across them properly. Surely the work done by these people would have included this specific idea?

    Nowadays they seem to be concentrating on Java bytecode stuff and embedded systems... In the states they would have undoubtedly got mucho Venture Capital. Over here in the UK they are struggling.
