Riley ,'Lessons'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
But with WebOS, I feel like the developer community is pricing itself right out of the market.
Since webOS is a dead platform the developers might feel it makes more sense to try to make whatever money they can now. I doubt there will be any infrastructure left to sell webOS software in a few years.
What is the official word on WebOS? Moving it to open source, and no more development?
These are the ones I bought on recommendation of ND--though they're earbuds, not over the ear, they are noise-canceling. I do like them on the plane.
Cool.
A year ago an Apple Store employee told me that noise-canceling earbuds did not exist. I'll have to try these.
dcp's recommendation are the ones I have as well. I couldn't fly without them. They are the bomb! I also use them in Starbucks.
The case they come in is a bit too bulky, so I have a mesh case with a hook so I hook them on to my briefcase.
I don't know the official word on webOS, but most of the original team either moved on a while ago or were laid off more recently.
I was reading "Pivot"? The app store for WebOS has a magazine, which is weird. And it includes some really lame assed fashion. But I think it said that HP was focussing on software not hardware. However, I'm sure a million things have changed since that was written.
Thanks, everyone.
Two CEO changes, if nothing else.
I could never figure out why HP bought Palm in the first place. Some of us had a theory it was just to scare Microsoft into knocking $0.50 off the licensing fee for Windows. Given how many Windows machines HP ships that would have paid for the acquisition in one year.

Yeah, that was fascinating.
