Rockmelt isn't open-source. Discussion closed.

Well, the biggest issue is simply manpower, so if you want the Pandora to switch away from ängstrom, you'll have to DIY. Until someone builds a maintainable image that runs from the NAND this discussion is basically moot. Personally, I think Gentoo would be a better choice though. Leaving out...

The SNES got launched in 1991 in the US, so (as US-patents have a 20-year lifespan) all of its patents must have expired... Though that wasn't the case when the Pandora got designed.

TI's DM3730 is a drop-in replacement for the OMAP3530 in the Pandora. The board is already capable of using it, though you might need to replace a few capacitors/resistors as well. I do wonder where you're going to get a single DM3730 in the proper packaging from, though...

/var/log is the folder in which linux normally stores its system-logs. But I don't have my Pandora yet, so I don't know anything about Pandora's particular setup. Apparently, it doesn't save any logs... The command "dmesg" gives you the kernel's internal log. You can get that to a file with...

Kernel-module's not loaded, or wifi-chip can't be found. Try "dmesg" ,which gives you the kernel-log, and check if you see anything weird. The log should also be in /var/log/dmesg, if you want to post here.

I see two easy possibilities: A: get a small usb-hub, build a case the size of the Pandora around it, and stick it to the bottom of the Pandora. Doesn't need any change to the existing Pandora. You could also integrate the 2 additional shoulderbuttons into it. B: shrink down the battery a...

Don't overreact. When AT&T put up that code, they probably knew that this would happen sooner or later, once the code got out on a major forum, and that they'd need to pull the code ASAP, when it happened. However, the issue (customers having wifi-troubles) that this action is supposed to...

Well, there ARE a couple of linux-worms out there, that try to worm themselves in through brute-forcing ssh, or unpatched holes in web-software like forums, but choose good passwords, and auto-update your software and they won't come in... Dedicated, targeted attacks by someone who knows what...

If the hinge is too loose for your taste, just add some friction yourself in whatever way you can come up with (a bit of rubber between the hinge should do the trick) Oh, and if you need any more convincing: the Pandora is pretty much the only, and certainly the most powerful and functional...

The following is a quote from the Pandora "Hacker" Guide: Furthermore, OpenPandora is bound by the EU's quite strong consumer protection laws, which put an implied warranty on normal usage and manufacturing errors, and puts the burden of proof on the company...

No, drivers for the image-processing-chip in the Kinect have been open-sourced, which give you a depth-map of the image. That's only a small part of the work, you'll still need to do the (absolutely non-trivial) work of tracking objects, and determining body-parts and stuff, which needs to be...

@GizmoAgent: also take a look at project (a)rowboat. Android runs perfectly well on a resistive screen, and there isn't all that much that really requires multitouch. But android does rely heavily on using a touchscreen, and the positioning of the Pandora's screen makes that not entirely...

Another possibility is to make PND's actually executable, which we can do with the kernel-module binfmt_misc(assuming it's installed, I dont' have my pandora yet..): You first might have to mount binfmt_misc: mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc then you can register pnd's...

Not entirely correct. The Google-apps can be downloaded and installed/sideloaded separately from here. AFAICT, that's a deal cyanogenmod made with google. It's just that rom-makers aren't allowed to integrate it into their roms without google's consent...

Craig could sell those to the BeagleBoard, if at any time they'd need an extra batch. As the BB is also produced by CircuitCo, they won't even need to be shipped... (assuming both projects use the same chip-packaging...)

This is probably "someone" sending google a dmca-takedown notice, and google reacting according to the letter of the dmca (take down first, check later). He should just file a counter-notice (form can be found here), and see what happens. Oh, and google sends the takedown-notices it recieves...

Take a look at this: http://www.valeriovalerio.org/?page_id=174 BlueMeamo. Does pretty much what you want, written for meamo, in python, with some enlightenment-stuff ( depends on efl-core, python2.5-efl-core, python2.5-ecore, python2.5-edbus, python2.5-evas, python2.5-edje) Shouldn't be too...

It must be what your peers are using. Which happens to be Skype most of the time... Trying to make (all of) them adopt something else is non-trivial to say the least... It's also one of the main reasons we're still using POTS (normal telephony)...

There are a couple of Skype-gateways for xmpp(jabber). (This one f.ex.) That runs the Skype-client (one per user) on some other machine, and allows any jabber-client to use skype. As for the meamo-version: if i'm not mistaken, that one's been fully integrated into meamo, so that'll probably...
