Psion May Look To Linux For The Next Big Thing

Posted by timothy on from the netbooks-are-sweet dept.

An anonymous reader points out this "interesting interview with Psion founder Dr David Potter. It explores the reasons why Psion sold their share in Symbian to Nokia and why Potter believes that there is good future for Linux on "compact" notebooks and the like. Guy Kewney is a very well respected commentator on technology, he's been doing for a long time and I've always found his insights to be pretty spot on. "

    There goes that fucking Lunix crap again, stealing MORE market share from reputable companies where gainfully employed, red-blooded proud American men worked their fingers to the bone to produce fine proprietary software offerings.

    It's amazing what a bunch of pimple-faced nerds with stolen IP from SCO can accomplish. If only they would put as much effort into personal grooming and developing social skills, they might actually get laid one of these days.

      If you had a fucking CLUE, you would know parody when you saw it. I thought the "red-blooded proud American men worked their fingers to the bone" phrase would have made the parody of my post PAINFULLY obvious, even to a dimwitted loser like yourself.

      Thanks for trodding on my god given right to free speech though, you censoring censuring asshole!

    Perhaps SCO thinks the phones that are driven by linux have to do with the content of the phone call and claim rights for calling your GF for VD
