HP makes webOS open source - On The Verge

2011-12-12
a few a denouncement there open-sourcing webos anyone is that any huh any webOS users here it's got to be willing in one person we put them in the nosebleed seats you just can't win can you so so HP is open sourcing webOS and they're gonna still make tablets basically you think I talked I talked to the CEO Meg Whitman and Marc Andreessen who is on the board and you think they was lied to me well you know it's really interesting because their first announcement kind of they put up and I think you said we'll evaluate well well open source web wash we think it's great we'll evaluate it for future products which is basically like we think it's not very good right and we'll see if it gets better wait I don't think one like random dudes in their basement make it better for us because we failed to do I don't think that means that I think it means but they also said we're gonna build the tablets in 2013 which is like we're gonna take a break we stopped at this man maybe not this year maybe next year that was basically already 2013 when you think about it that's tomorrow I mean look close our eyes Meg wake up you can try the touchpad again maybe she could be the guy the grand central guy whatever I think I think they made the first answer we're gonna open source it you know we're giving up and they got the give up vibe and they said well we're not gonna give up when I talked to her she kept mentioning how forwardable it was going to be for them which is not like a good necessarily good thing to hear when we're making a big decision you know like when somebody says I got this for you it was affordable but you don't think like this is gonna be great you think like it'll be good enough right I guess when they bought palm and they bought webOS all they talked to us we have so much scale we have so many resources where HP we can do anything we want we have all this cash it's just it's in a it's in a box here you go Sean Rubenstein and then do anything with it where was John Rubenstein's it was yeah nowhere right it was it was Meg Whitman and Mark injuries and who were basically not there when they bought pawns right and Marc Andreessen has news for what Netscape the new face of webOS yeah the guy at Netscape and a lady here an eBay Mozilla I mean there's wind there you use the Firefox that I know I would not write I am a chrome user well another great Google product yeah uber another killer I'll bet you urgency to browsers mercy I don't know if I'm talking about like I'm exteriors as they walking around out there yeah it's haunting haunting presence but uh yeah I don't know this just feels like this is the end of the line I just think this is like really great for the for the like homebrew guys yeah guys they were already putting up pictures screenshots of like the evo 3d like running hacked builds webOS like TC in our office you like still has a pre was like super excited because there's web less some real hardware you know that's great that's that's great for those guys I mean this is this is what me go big Kilkenny go class right give him this I mean you're a lawyer given this given the open sourcing of web less does this mean that if Matias Duarte wanted to he could take cards he did put it it no but like real cards and put it in Android I you know I don't know they didn't say what license they're gonna do they said yeah totally I mean if device mark said to me they want to completely open-source whether the last I don't know that means there's like there's all these levels right it's it's pretty straightforward what he said no that's that I mean it seemed to be like webOS in its entirety in terms of like as in Oh apps but actually that's something they're doing you know they said will give will do web West right now will do any later and it was like the big application framework and then we'll do the rest of the user space later so there's three steps there saying yeah what he was saying is there's part that that need to be tweaked so they can be open then you finish them finish that look I think that this is the end of the road for webOS as a product I think we'll see a bunch of like maybe Chinese phones with it like call their companies I want to build it into things maybe Google can take some of it and roll ups on the but I don't think they need to they have Mattia if they have the brain behind why the last I working for them right I think he has new and different ideas and I think you're a creative person you have new indie the cards going up in debt so complete look you already took most of this you know just finish the PlayBook with webos oh it's dark it's dark very dark my love affair with Paul Miz is is over it you know what in died a long time ago really wow this has got really sad started it started beautiful you know it really was like all relationships it was there was hope yeah then it would go on forever and then they cheated on you with HP they lie what he left me for HP and then HP mess them up bad and when I went when I saw them again it wasn't the palm that I knew No
