Android Tricorder Killed By CBS

Posted by timothy on from the was-about-to-grab-it-actually dept.

First time accepted submitter josn writes "Today I found out that Moonlight's Tricorder app, which I always install on Android devices, is gone. Google received a DMCA letter from CBS. I think it is a shame that CBS thinks it needs to kill a free and open source project giving a ad-less app. I, for one, sent a message to CBS explaining that this fan-supported app is not bad, but good for them, and asked them to reconsider. I hope, especially for the author, who must have spent a lot of time on this app, that they do."

    CBS. What have they done, that is worth shitting on, in 30 years?

    I say that a bunch of Anonymous types ought to buy microwave equipment and blast their Sat feed offline.

    No it's spelled right - the tricorder app is known for only being able to perform subtraction operations. :)
