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."

    Holy shit! My old account is still active. Now I can stop trolling as AC!

    Mod me off topic motherfuckers! My UID (dick size ) speaks for itself. Haven't posted in years and don't give a shit about 9/11 conspiracy anymore. You'd think I've grown up... And I have. But not on here, folks. I think I was 14 or younger when I signed up.

    And android still sucks for developing apps for profit. Market is flooded with shit, and you have to be very lucky or a marketing genius to make money off it. Marketing geniuouses will not be developing apps, so that leaves the very lucky option. You're probably not going to develop the next Angry Birds, and OGL kind of sucks compared to XNA. Also Java cs C#/.NET - putting aside cross-platforminess, C# wins hands down.

    Just my opinion. Fuck off.

    PS: No 10 minute wait time?!?!

    Spunkee is a dumb name, and it's incredible I remembered the password. I thought slashdot purged inactive accounts years ago...
