One little item of note mentioned was 'Public Liquidation Auction January 16 (details to follow)' Who knows what kind of geek goodies might be available at rock bottom prices? Perhaps this could be our last chance to get our hands on a BeBox!" How about some of those nice LED CPU meters?

    Mr. Gassée serves as a director of several private or publicly traded companies such as 3Comm, Electronics for Imaging and Logitech.

    Is this a typo? Isn't this supposed to say 3COM or is there a 3Comm?

      What's this all about? Someone asks what appears to be a sincere question (since they didn't post as AC...) and gets modded as flamebait? So by modding it down, the people browsing with higher thresholds won't see the question, it won't get answered, and thus continues the cycle of ignorance on slashdot...way to go moderators...

  3. Audio latency? by jcr · · Score: 5, Insightful

    >I don't there were any OS's that could match be's great audio latency.

    Mac OS X's CoreAudio architecture is delivering end-to-end latency of 1 Millisecond. Was BeOs better than that?

  4. evilla prototypes by Sivax256 · · Score: 2, Insightful
    You know they have a few prototype evilla's laying around, I would not mind picking one up so that I could take a baseball bat to it. Or maybe a picture of JLG standing next to one with his head down in shame for his bad idea to "Focus Shift" the company down the tube.

    Long Live OpenBeOS!!!

    This is about as DYI as going to Microsoft's website and trying to write your Own os from there.

    where's the schematics, parts list, Howto, faq?

    showing a bunch of pictures that are horribly blurry (if it's a digital camera, no excuse, retake until it's clear, oh and USE A FLASH!)

    This is not DYI this is a "lookie what I did! no I wont tell you how I did it, but Lookie!" These type of websites are worthless and should be removed from the net.
