This is too harsh. 170 premium Pandoras isn't even enough to delay the batch 1 orders by a single week. I'm no fan of how Craig likes to lose his temper every now and then, and yes, I don't think that two year preorderers should spend more money after fronting the cost for so long, but Craig et...

WOW, too much information! lol Cover your eyes, children!

Nice! Next time I visit Malta we should get together over a few pastizzi and swap notes.

Elton just confirmed on GP32X that the XStylus Crayon fits into the Pandora:

This is as off-topic as Craig's comment, but you could try https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xq9kCEbKJ_Y?feature=oembed&start=43 for the SNES as well. I don't know how it compares against the other two, but it's something I played a lot as a kid.

This isn't about some soft notion of author credit, it's about copyright notices, which appear in your examples as the little snippet that says Copyright © <year> <legal entity>. Those copyright notices are untouchable, like a sacred cow. They are only so short in the examples you've chosen...

I've been hoping to take a stab at this when I get my Pandora. The relevant packages are here and here if anyone wants to beat me to it.

You all may have heard that Elton's XStylus project reached its funding goal on Kickstarter. However, there was at least one bad pledge where payment failed, and after some back and forth with Kickstarter, Elton eventually refunded all of the money and put up a new funding page at IndieGoGo...

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and treat this as a serious comment. It is completely unreasonable to interpret a requirement that modified versions should not be confusingly labeled to mean that it's ok or even encouraged to misrepresent the origins of a work. Besides that, it is...

Here's a little educational note about the ext filesystems and journaling on flash drives. It's basically not true, except perhaps if write amplification is a concern: http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/ Here's the Google cache version, since the above...

Indeed, this is the approach I would like. Take just the application layer and port that, so that we still have complete freedom to develop the rest of the OS as we like, but the people who want to run Android apps are happy too. This has been done (see Myriad Alien Dalvik), but it doesn't look...

I don't really know first hand, but I've observed that between the 3430 and 3630, at least, even though it's supposed to be drop-in replacement, you end up having to tweak your device drivers to some extent because some of the devices included in the SoC have been updated.

You're entitled to not care what people do with your code, in which you'd probably want to put it under the MIT license or similar. However, if you don't like someone else's licensing terms, the only thing you're entitled to is to not use their code. People don't use the GPL because they feel...

Yeah, I see from your second post that your reaction is basically the same as mine, but you didn't say enough in the first one to make that clear. It seemed, to me at least, like you were just brushing it off as a non-issue. Here's a second-hand comment explaining why it was removed. It has...

edit: ninjaed by craig, original post follows: I totally agree with you that license violations are a big deal. However, I think this could and should be taken up with Google (Craig's alarmingly nonchalant reaction to this notwithstanding), i.e. a copyright holder could complain to them about...

I love force feedback for split screen multiplayer, it makes it easier to keep track of what's going on. Back in the N64 days, me and my Rumble Pak were inseparable.

Smartphones are definitely a threat to the Pandora, even without gaming controls. You don't need complete overlap of functionality to consider them as competition. Once the preorders are fulfilled, I hope you can attract some fresh publicity to let people know that they can buy one without any...

Even my five year old dumb phone needs to be on while charging. It's less noticeable with other devices though, because they go into a special mode while charging and shut back off automatically when unplugged. Someone could implement this in the Pandora's firmware to make it conform to the same...

I sent in my comment because I think it's important for the mainstream folk to know what exists out there. However, I have to ask why you'd even want major publicity at this point in the game. It seems pretty plain that if the BBC or someone else handed you a big influx of new orders, you...

It seems weird to me that they would hire a new employee for this. I would have thought they would simply move over an existing employee to this task instead of hiring someone new who might be inexperienced. Do you happen to know why they chose to hire someone new? Thanks for bringing us to...
