Cheap phones, modern browser, simple interface, and low hardware requirements so itâ(TM)s fast. Ok store, ok security update pace and support and mostly open source. Itâ(TM)s the hyundai of phones. Mediocre but likable!
Seriously are they saying that's how the data was secured, not ACL? I call bull, or the people reporting do not understand technology enough to report on it.
Totally Agree. The PDK has been around for over a year, and is very well documented. I am also a developer, and this "insider" info is nothing but bull.
Pre2 had only limited release, but it is way faster, and works great, compared to the pre and pre+ that just worked ok. I agree, it is still a better experience than any other mobile OS. I have used the iPhone, and tried very hard to like android, but eventually went back to my pre2, love it! Veer and pre3 are also great hardware, that never got a chance... Was not an issue with the OS, it was an issue with the company selling it...
I have been using webOS for years now, it works just fine, and the newer hardware like the pre3 kept up just fine with the iPhone, also they forget to talk about the fact that webOS has a PDK that allows C and C++ apps, so apps like angry birds run at full native speed. As a developer, we were able to make a canvas based game, that played just fine, something we could not do on android or iOS, canvas and javascript were just to slow on them. True a lot of talent has left it now, but when it goes open source, it will allow many that find no room to work on android a home.
Logging in with Facebook shares your address, email and name, so they can link your info with your IP, so they can later sell that info, or make threats. JUST DON'T DO IT. Click the log in, then report it to Facebook!!
Plant wild flowers, or no mow grass(yes it exists, and works great)!
-You will save $ on gas
-pollute a lot less! (mowers are some of the least efficient motors around)
-Make more fresh air
-looks a lot better
-get some nice birds, butterflies and such.
-Gain 3 hours a week back. You can do a ton with that.
And If you must mow, make a solar powered lawnmower with a server battery and starter mower like I did!
I have to say I agree with this. Little of what I learned in Computer Science was useful, up to date or relevant. 80% of my classes were in unrelated things also, like speech, spanish, and "other". BUT going to college can expand your horizons and allow you to learn about areas outside of your "career". Someone once told me "No one ever said what you learn in school is useful"
I have had a Pre for months, and love it. I have had an iPhone and worked with Blackberries and WIndows Mobile phones a lot, and it blows them all away. I also as far as developing for webos goes, its a dream. I love it, way better then development for the iPhone was when I did that. I really was hoping they would licence the OS to a few good hardware developers, but I hope whoever buys them keeps the OS and the same ideals the developers of it have.
The real annoying thing is that they are not jumping in the market to help kids but undermine a non profit so they can get the market. Other companies like AMD have been helping the effort, but Microsoft and Intel see it as competition. This is a non profit effort. Next the pharmaceuticals will be going after the red cross because they want to sell cheap blood alternatives to disaster victims. Yeah competition!
I am proud to have gotten one.

Use foodaroo! lol

I had a dead badger and then I found I could install Linux on it!
That was my thought when I saw it!

or demanding apps, developers can use the PDK, its allows use of lower level c and c++ code. Angry birds and the need for speed game both use it.

But I never really used it, so as bad as I feel to see it go, to be honest, I had no real need for it. Maybe later it will be reborn....
I try and donate a little each year to wiki, so I am glad that none of that money goes to godaddy. For this reason and many others...
Have been getting it since issue 3, and love every one.

I second them, I use the Nano on our open mesh network. It is a powerful 1watt, cheap, supports POE, works GREAT.

Is calculating a trajectory for his knife into your throat right now.
You would have already got one!

Like www.foodaroo.com! Way better in that it is open and anyone can add anything. Sadly not much on it :(
I put mine under my keyboard on a sticker!
Only in my state...
Woman dumb ass, blames others. This is what drives me nuts, people complain when others do not take care of them or they can not wipe their own butts.
Forget an open source coffee maker, I want an open source tea maker!!
