    Drudge Report....

    At least all GPL'd emulators can just be built by someone else – if someone offers them and charges money, they're obliged to make their source code available to any customer or they're in violation of the license, which means the emulator will have to be removed from the app store (and/or...

    Drudge Report....

    Perhaps something as simple as an example makefile that reads the application's version number from one file (preferably from a C header so one only needs to change one file for the app and the .PND), plugs it into a PXML template and uses that to generate a .PND containing all files the app...

    Drudge Report....

    Do expect lots of requests to make a proper .PND package and/or negative comments from people who accuse you of doing the bare minimum to support the Pandora as a platform. If the .PND format is picked up like OS X application bundle (and I expect it to), you can expect that the average Pandora...

    Drudge Report....

    Do you also offer an "API"? It'd be nice if you could, via XML and/or JSON, allow one to access the app store programmatically; this would allow people to develop sleek app store apps for the Pandora. Also, a function where one submits their ID and gets back a list of updated apps would be...

    Drudge Report....

    borgqueenx makes an excellent argument for why the app store must be open-source: It keeps away the conpanies. I don't know about you but I don't want to be conned so keeping away conpanies is a good thing. Seriously, though, the other posters made the most important arguments already. On that...

    Smaller Batteries?

    Confirmed: MDave wants all Pandoras to ship with a 200 mAh battery.

    Mweston Tries Out A Range Of Leds (Photo)

    To inspire people for their mods? I mean, if I can get purple and/or teal surface mount LEDs I might actually be tempted to hack my Pandora even though I'm not that good at soldering. Getting a small enough tip might be an issue, though...

    Okay, then... Maybe [SD1: Purple][SD2: Purple][WLAN: Teal][BT: Teal]----[N/A: Teal][N/A: Teal][Charging: Orange][Power: multicolor] ####------------#### I mainly went with teal for symmetry reasons, although one could also go ####------------#### or ####------------#### I don't recommend...

    If purple is a possibility, I'd like it somewhere. Purple rocks. Maybe [SD1: Purple][SD2: Purple][WLAN: Teal][BT: Teal]----[Low: Red][Mid: Orange][Good: Green][Full battery: Green] Without the text: ####------------#### That gives us purple and teal LEDs (go unique color scheme) while...

    Easyrpg Likely To Be Ported!

    ABL... I remember that from when I was still actively involved with the German Maker scene. Mind you, that was back in the days when the RTP was acceptable and you could publish a game even if it didn't have custom combat and menu systems. I'd like to see OpenRGSS or Yao do a Pandora release...

    How Do You Find Out Place In Queue / Shipping?

    Didn't we once have this webpage where you could enter your order time and it would add you to a list of guesstimated queue places? "Pandora order place divination" or something? Granted, it only works for the first 3.000 orders, but still...

    Twiterix : The Photos Have Been Taken

    The MP models look different, are superior in ability and are all controlled by copies of the same dummy plug.

    Twiterix : The Photos Have Been Taken

    Holy shit. I need to convert to a polytheistic faith so I have more deities to pray to regarding no further delays. If you guys actually get the finished Pandoras out to us preorderers before Christmas, you'll officially be the new Santa Claus. A freakish, multi-headed, multi-limbed...

    Firmware Testing

    +3, an applet-capable application launcher is exactly what I'd like to see.

    I'm As Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore!

    In my tests it wasn't. In fact, it didn't mention Windows much. That is because it virtually never returned any relevant results at all. The best result I ever got out of them was when I searched for best server operating system: The first result was a sponsored result from Apple; the Apple...

    Actually, I'd maintain that lynx is faster, especially when SSL is involved. AES is hard.

    I Think I've Went Insane.

    Somehow this is more 80s than all those 80s era mockups before.

    I'm As Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore!

    It's the only browser that does - once you install the extension "TabGroups Manager". It's amazing how many tabs you can accumulate when you play a few games, do a bit of webdev work and do some generic browsing (of course not all at the same time). I know I could juggle with bookmark folders...

    I'm As Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore!

    ...or Trident... ;) Seriously, though, all popular non-Trident engines are standards-compliant enough to make web development easy: Just follow the standards. If it works on one browser it usually works on all of them. Except IE and other Trident frontends, of course. I doubt that Microsoft...

    Mupen64 Will It Have....

    The translation lookaside buffer is a kind of CPU cache used for virtual memory mapping. Essentially you use it to turn a virtual memory address (where the software thinks the data is) into a physical address (where the data actually is). If the emulator has a different opinion on the workings...
