HP Donates To WebOS's Major Hombrewing Group

Posted by timothy on from the doing-good-is-doing-well dept.

Kilrah_il writes "WebOS Internals Group is the central repository for all the homebrewing done on the WebOS platform, including apps, patches and kernels. Recently it became clear that server infrastructure would fall behind future progress in the WebOS world. 'So they asked HP's Phil McKinney, who has arranged to donate an HP Proliant DL385 2u server with 32 gigs of RAM and 8 terabytes of disk space... Notably, this is a straight-up donation, no strings attached — so WebOS Internals will remain how they always have: completely independent from the company whose OS they hack on.'"

    After 15 years someone finally throws Palm developers a bone... you're about 14years too late. Nice gesture but your OS was DOA.

    Yes, this insignificant donation to an OS which is essentially dead but HP hasn't publically admitted to it yet is great PR ... it means absolutely nothing, but its great PR and you've bought it, hook, line and sinker.

    I think you confused his mom's vagina for your dad's anus. Totally understandable as they both are frequently seen wearing dresses.
