    Beta Basilisk Ii Pnd - 68K Macintosh Emulator

    It's been a mini adventure, but I've now got system 7.6.1 set up, complete with networking support. Viewing modern websites in the quaint old iCab is an... interesting... experience. Now installing Speech. Crikey does it ever take forever to install/extract things whilst running Mac OS on the...

    Dreamcast

    Eagerly awaiting a Dreamcast emulator. I need to justify my hoard of Dreamcast games! Although I've got no way to dump the damned things.

    Still Believe In Craig & Ed Despite The Recent Revalations

    Have faith. The guys don't set out to fail intentionally or maliciously. Units are shipping, Craig has seen a surplus of assembly work and thus has come up with this plan to scale up production. Sure, it could fail hard... but there's no need to be so pessimistic about it. The plan was...

    Still Believe In Craig & Ed Despite The Recent Revalations

    Consider the two following scenarios, showing Pandora output over 5 days before and after (number of staff picked arbitrarily for the number is irrelevant): 3 staff: 75, 75, 75, 75, 75 - 0 instant pandoras = 375 total 6 staff: 140, 140, 140, 140, 140 - 100 instant pandoras = 600 total That's...

    Still Believe In Craig & Ed Despite The Recent Revalations

    I think you'll find that this was a lucky benefit of an otherwise necessary price increase. I don't think he cleverly planned to lock pre-order customers in with the psychological barrier of a higher price. On the flip side of the coin, pre-order customers can receive their Pandora, and then...

    Still Believe In Craig & Ed Despite The Recent Revalations

    I can't see how that can be the case. The most anyone can be delayed is 100 units, if they hold to the numbers and don't simply let thousands of people order an "instant Pandora." What logic/evidence have you assessed to arrive at this conclusion? I haven't really been paying enough attention...

    Assembly Speed.

    I dare say he makes some sense, but that sense is based on assumptions that have little or no basis in reality. From what ED said, OpenPandora didn't expect to be scaling back up to 8 workers, from 3, any time soon and thus didn't budget for it. This is a decision that Craig has stewed on...

    Still Believe In Craig & Ed Despite The Recent Revalations

    As a late pre-order customer between 2000-2300 or something to that effect, I'm thankful for this initiative and glad that it'll mean I get my Pandora sooner. As for people who are "skipping the queue", they're paying more and phase me no more than the other pre-order customers who are getting...

    Size Comparison

    Do want your gadget collection! The game-gripper for the N900 is good, but somewhat lacking in the analogue stick department- I doubt it could really make the N900 a competitor to the Pandora. It'll probably end up positioned as a cheaper, more lightweight version of the iControlPad... when...

    Itching For A Pandora?

    As far as I can see, the only similarity it has to the Pandora is a clamshell design. And it's not as if OpenPandora invented the clamshell form factor...

    Craigix Pandora Article In Click Magazine.

    Not always but often true. It depends on the value and reusability of the unit. 99% of all cases/accessories I've reviewed for gadgets have not needed to be returned, some of these are high value- approaching and often exceeding £100 at retail. If the item is a designer case, returning them is...

    Craigix Pandora Article In Click Magazine.

    I tried to fast track my way to an early Pandora/review sample by actually buying one. Didn't work. Also, isn't it far, far too early for reviews to really count for anything? The people who pre-ordered between 1 and 2 years ago haven't got their Pandoras yet, unless we can entice some lovely...

    Getting A Little Concerned

    Think yourselves lucky. I'm somewhere between 2000 and 2100. Perhaps it'll come in time for this Christmas. Truth be told, with all these shiny iDevices to play with, I'm starting to lose interest. Hopefully that'll change when I receive my shipping email sometime in the baking summer of 2015.

    I've Canceled

    I just spent the entire day glued to Battle of Wesnoth on the iPad. Best way to play, ever. And the iPad port is truly brilliant. Anyone who doesn't want an iPad, simply hasn't yet come to terms with the fact that they do want one. I dare say that cancelling my Pandora pre-order has crossed my...

    Minecraft Dev Gets Pandora Before Me

    Minecaft uses, I believe, an OpenGL library... Can't remember the name, but an OpenGL ES/ARM version of said library would be necessary to run minecraft on the Pandora.
