Speed of Dark Blog

Xterm on the touchpad

I discovered that hackers had taken control of the sidebar on my Anion OS web page, some digging discovered that the page is not protected by the same password all of the other System pages are, and so I had to put in a sitewide password for editing.  Now that that’s done, I shouldn’t have many more issues with hacking/etc.

Since tech is a huge part of my daily life and interest, I figured I’d write a short blog on the sad fate of WebOS.  I was an early adopter, buying a Palm Pre shortly after their release and holding onto it until only a few weeks ago, moving off of my beloved Sprint network to get the HP Veer, a WebOS 2.1 device. 

Then it happened.

HP slapped all the loyal WebOS community members right in the face and discontinued its flagship mobile devices.  I luckily found out only 12 hours after it happened and was able to snag a Touchpad tablet before they were gone for good.  I’m writing this on it, actually.

Well, unless you’ve used WebOS you’d not believe anything I said concerning the awesomeness of its interface and the ease of use.  The truth of the matter is, a better and faster hardware dev cycle would yield the greatest group of devices ever conceived.  The OS is not yet dead, so let’s see how stupid HP can really be in losing everything from their 1.2b acquisition of palm.  Fools.
