Canadian Firms Get Behind OpenMoko/FreeRunner

Posted by timothy on from the watching-the-tail-lights dept.

mario writes "Now that the OpenMoko platform has stabilized enough to provide the OM2008 image (supporting the three major toolkits), things are starting to heat up. Linuxdevices is reporting on the start of a port of Devicescape's connect application. Koolu (another Canadian company) is also doing development for its W.E. phone (a branded FreeRunner). Which leads me to ask: Where are the American companies?"

    Fuck the Queen!

    Not all of us Canadians are monarchists. Unfortunately too many are.

    It's a stupid and UNDEMOCRATIC tradition that needs to be EXPUNGED from the country! Sure keep it in a museum, but not in politics or government or the courts!

    Next time you're in a Canadian Court Object to the Queen on the grounds that it's undemocratic and based on mythologies while the court is supposed to be based upon EVIDENCE! Provide EVIDENCE your Honor (or many pretending to be the judge) for the Queen's inherent rights given by god! Provide Evidence for God! Failing that expunge the Queen and God from the Court and all it's proceedings!
