on: Apple iPhone Will Fail in a Late, Defensive Move (2007)
"The mobile-phone industry is becoming a cozy cartel between the network operators and a limited range of manufacturers. It could certainly use a fresh blast of competition from an industry outsider." This statement is still true unforunately despite what ever else the article says

I'm from Kenya and right now we've invaded Somilia in hopes of getting things, by that we mean Al Shabaab, under control. What worries me is that we're not as powerful or advanced as the US when/if they decided to attack us proper we're fucked.

I remember that discussion. When these wars "come home" then there'll be cries to stop the torture.

Not too shocking. I'm sure this is too much of a generalisation but Anericans don't like to know of the atrocities done in their name as long as their "catching the bad guys". The global war on terror has you making enemies of people who would otherwise leave you alone...

The all powerful, at the time anyway, Symbian team didn't like competition and did everything they could to muck up Maemo/Meego development.

on: Why There Will Never Be Another RedHat: The Economics Of Open Source
I don't really see why this may be a bad thing, the open source community continues to grow just fine and code contributions and stuff still happen. When I first read the title thought he'd be talking about how it's impossible to make money off opesource but that wasn't the case

I'm mostly glad that this will help with Alzhimer's(sp?) research. Being able to work 24hours matters less to me, I rather like to sleep, than treating the terrible memory loss that comes with the disease.

on: Jolla Outsells iPhone 5S and 5C in Finland
I need to get my hands on one of these. I used the Maemo OS on the N900 for a couple of years and must say I loved it(having a hardware keyboard was a plus) I've got to say I love the community around it. Just about 40000users left on that particular system yet some of the best support I've ever seen. The community is incredible.
If this OS, and phone, can get that same sort of support and community around it(and I don't see why not seeing that they're based on the same cores built by the same teams) I see great things in the future. Like booting Ubuntu, Jolla and Mozilla from the same phone.

She right, in the direction the world is moving today no one can afford to ignore technology and the interconnectedness social media brings but we need to remind everyone to not lose themselves to those connections

on: The War On Hackers
This should be upvoted simply because it's a article on Techcrunch that does really involve a company's latest funding round, VC's or an app.
But on a more serious note what the post talks about is worrying we can't have computer illiterate people making laws and decisions that could have far reaching implications on how we use computers.

The Maemo platform had so much promise, and it was open source too!! The original Iphone and the N900 were on par. I'd know, I'm using the N900 now
