Great interview, and very informative. Thanks Chip

Who were the "very large companies" that contacted you? I must have missed that post.

Very nice summary of the Pandora. This is my latest "go here" link.

 

[Trip]

Cheers for that Chip. Always nice to have something new to read

Well as much flak as you get for your moderation related stuff you definitely know your pandora shit. i think you pretty much portrayed everything perfectly

 

[Username]

Very nice. Good read.

Good job, I suppose; very professional. Although I hate professional interviews, personally. There's no life in them.

One was Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. The other was Microsoft, believe it or not.

 

[gruso]

MS!

I suppose they need the heads up on all the platforms there are to conquer.

Publicizing your own PR work, you really are a PR guy.

Hey, you can't say he isn't doing his fair share of work

Microsoft?!

...

I can hear the 'Imperial March' theme of Star Wars...

Nah, just a joke. Glad to hear that the 'big guys' are getting interested in the Pandora project .

I believe it is a tough line to go from "forum voice" to "voice of authority and forum mod" to "OP PR Voice". That doesn't mean anyone should withhold any valid criticisms they have (as opposed to outright flame / douchbagerry), nor hold back. I have no personal issue with Chip, I actually have a great deal of respect for him (you can quote me on that). I tend to treat all people equally, the fact that I still talk to you as an adult should show that, but I'll be dissentious if I feel it is merited.

Edit: My original post may have not been worded the best way. I admit it was a criticism, and a bit tongue-in-cheek, but that that sentiment wasn't conveyed in the wording very well.

SSSHHHHH they'll hear you! dont you know they have their bowsers and OS's designed to alert them at any mention of their name innitials??! Hopefully their interest was only towards seeing if they could ship it with a version of winmo and not looking to assimilate it's cultural signifigance.

Anyway, perfect interview Chip. Just as proessional as any of the big guys and depicts the system just as it should be. Not to mention I was wondering when someone would mention coding competitions because the pandora is the perfect device for them.

very nice interview

Nice interview Chip. But I was just wondering, when you mentioned graphics editing, 3D modeling, and digital audio editing capabilitiees, was it more a speculative comment based on possible future developments, or are there currently projects you are aware of that are definitely going to bring some form of fairly full featured audio and graphics workstation software to the pandora?

There is no reason why for example gimp or audacious wouldn't work on the pandora. In fact, gimp was already shown in some videos.

3d modelling is a bit more difficult, but is certainly also possible.
