Yes, that must be it. Or you're simply looking through rose-colored nostalgia glasses. Palm was dying long before the iPhone and Android came out. Those were simply the final nails in the coffin.
Assuming all that was true why would they choose a measly bug bounty over selling to intelligence agencies with unlimited black budgets? That defies logic.
It's almost as if most people simply use computers as a tool to do work. Amazing how many nerds fail to realize this while they have internet fights and wankfests over trivial shit that no one cares about.
Yeah, those stupid users. How dare they make decisions based on using a computer as a tool rather wanking over the OS and its source code. What stupid sheeple they are.
I never said they were perfect, but the fact remains that users don't care. Microsoft thinks Windows Phone is amazing but users don't care because of.... applications. The OS is irrelevant to most people outside of zealots. They only care about an OS as far as it runs applications they want to use.
These people fail to realize that 99% of users care about applications not the OS nor the purity level of its code or APIs. A handful of Rust hipsters will jump ship and the rest of the world will go "What's RedoxOS and why should I care?"
Who cares? It's a toy OS written in a toy language. It'll join the thousands of other pet project OSes that no more than a handful of people will ever use.
First of all, one can't play Serious Sam on ioquake3. So for someone like myself that wants to play Serious Sam it's irrevelant what games run on ioquake3 if Serious Sam isn't one of them. Secondly, all thise games you mentioned for ioquake3 didn't exist the very second the engine was released. So you're comparing apples to oranges.
Except Snowden doesn't say what you claim. He states that he disbelieves the FBI's claims that they can't break into the phone. According to what is referenced in that article, he doesn't say anywhere that this is just Apple putting on a show.

You think Slashdot is relevant enough for anyone to bother astroturfing? Awww, how cute.

Safari has ad and script blockers. Welcome to years and years ago?
Cool story, bro. Get back to me when most computer users actually care.
It's almost as if most people simply use computers as a tool to do work. Amazing how many nerds fail to realize this while they have internet fights and wankfests over trivial shit that no one cares about.

Well, sure. Hence why I stated the exact same thing above.
I never said they were perfect, but the fact remains that users don't care. Microsoft thinks Windows Phone is amazing but users don't care because of.... applications. The OS is irrelevant to most people outside of zealots. They only care about an OS as far as it runs applications they want to use.
But this OS runs on 200% more smug than other OSes. Clearly that makes it superior.

Microsoft can barely get people to use WinRT and yet this group of nobodies expect to displace POSIX? Sure, brahs.
But their version of the Hurd is gonna be amazing! Because Rust and stuff.
Who cares? It's a toy OS written in a toy language. It'll join the thousands of other pet project OSes that no more than a handful of people will ever use.
Woaaaah! We've got a ceritified Internet badass here.
Yes, Captain Aspergers, I was being sarcastic.
VCs weren't claiming there was no bubble? O rly? I can find other links if you want.
But but but all those VCs were telling us there was no bubble! And everyone knows that VCs are honest-to-a-fault people!
No, that's what normal people do. People like the GP use OSes as a form of epeen status.
The weaker the chiphers the better. Because, you know, pedophiles and stuff.
So having even less job security? Oh goodie!!
Cool story, bro.

Too busy chasing IoT which they will dump when no one wants Mozilla's solution. Then they'll move to the next buzzword technology.
