Jolicloud: the OS your netbook has been screaming for

Jan 25th 2009 1:37PM on Engadget

I call shenanigans on this whole Jolicloud thing. Any good FOSS or FOSS-type project would have some sort of collaborative project page (example: sf.net) and a mailing list. All I can see from the "read" link is some artse-fartse home page with zero content.

I'm guessing this is going to be some overpriced netbook distro with all sorts of GPL violations that won't ever make it off the ground. It reminds me of CherryOS.

Palm Centro for Verizon unboxing and hands-on

I used to love my Treo 650, except for the instability of Garnet that will be fixed with Access Linux... running on top of Duke Nukem Forever.

Have the Palm phones gotten fatter with every iteration since the Treo 650?

Sounds like someone rehashed the "Digital Wallet" by the now defunct Minds@Work.

CE-Oh no he didn't! Part XVII - Ballmer to Linux users: You owe us

Didn't SCO try this a few years ago?!?! Once again Microsoft is late to the market and playing copy cat.

Not to mention MS PAID NOVELL $440 Million and then Novell gave MS a token $40 Mil. for some sort of IP rights.

USRobotics releases two Skype-certified handsets

Do sysops get a discount? ;) Man I feel old.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
