FYI, WebOS is actually a vanilla Linux stack with a custom window manager (Luna) sitting on top of it ;)

Apple would sooner shit themselves than sue HP. Palm's patent portfolio, that HP owns, includes the patent for the smartphone, as well as the smartphone dialer. IE, the two patents that practically everyone on the planet is infringing on which HP and Palm just never felt worthwhile to pursue litigation on. But it is…

You can already boot Android onto a Touchpad. It's been possible for several months now.

I don't think anyone would argue that the notification system of iOS4 is better than... anything...

The sad thing about this is the fact that, at last count, WebOS had more tablet friendly apps than Android did...

They did an about face on that decision:

There's a 3rd party camera app in the app catalog.

It was originally OS tweaks and modifications via patches to the OS. Things like adding options to stock apps, turning on some of the advanced/disabled features like editing the launcher, thing like that. There are also over 100 custom skins for the OS (for example: [www.precentral.net]

It already exists, it's called Preware.

Actually everyone LOVED WebOS. It's the Pre everyone hated... There is a difference.

Rubenstein was moved to a different, related division of HP. He hasn't gone anywhere. Their entire article and headline are pure FUD about WebOS. Again.

Errr, WebOS is already MORE open that Android in many respects. The OS itself is a regular linux stack with a custom GUI, for which there is a thriving homebrew community which HP not only accepts, but endorses by giving them advance warning before major updates, and even sending them hardware in advance to start…

There is no "one in Paris." The Statue was a gift from France to the US.

Your logic is circular. you're saying rich people will only invest money to make a strong economy if the economy is strong. Also, you have a very amusing notion of the class structure if you think lower economic tiers are somehow "unproductive." Reality is that only a handful of the super wealthy contribute to…

The trick is that you can't always be certain that that person killed someone. There are plenty of people falsely imprisoned for years until evidence exonerates them. Hell, there are plenty of people like that on death row too. By your eye for an eye logic, who's responsible for the innocent people the state kills?

He says the trip's been paid for and planned since November. Unless he had travel insurance, that's non-refundable, and this may not even be considered a reasonable excuse to collect that money back. Given that's it is indeed Spring Break time in a lot of the US, and that most people plan and pay for trips months in…

Except that it DOES matter on paper here since they can't sue others over patents someone else legally owns... Even if Nokia licensed all their patents to MS, they can't sue on Nokia's behalf according to the law. This isn't about perception or puppet companies or anything you're talking about. This is about what…

Don't forget that the Nexus phones are all but guaranteed to get the latest Android updates sooner, whereas HTC phones with Sense tend to lag behind updates while HTC rebuilds Sense on top of the latest version of Android...

And if they sued Google, I'd understand. But they're instead going after device manufacturers due to their choice of OS, which is fucking underhanded...
