[00:02] <ojwb> chilts: it doesn't seem to mention a brand other than android - i guess it's some cheap noname brand
[00:02] <chilts> yeah, and 256MB memory doesn't seem a great deal
[00:06] <ojwb> it's impressive that you can get a probably usable machine for that price now though
[00:07] <chilts> true
[01:07] <hads> G: I've been talking to the R Pi guys, one thing that is concerning is that at least some of the drivers are binary blob with an NDA covering them.
[01:08] <ojwb> ick
[01:08] <hads> "The is a binary blob that runs on the GPU – this is closed source, but there are drivers that run on the Arm that give access to the GPU features ie OpenGLES, OpenVG etc. The device boots the GPU first, the bootloader loads the GPU with this binary blob, then Linux is booted on the Arm."
[01:12] <hads> I haven't yet decided whether that effects my original decision to bring them in or not.
[01:29] <mwhudson> hads: that's the case for pretty much anything ARM powered aiui
[02:35] <ibeardsl1e> \q
[02:35] <ibeardslee> that's better
[02:35] <hads> Oh dear. Food composition database released as tilde delimited text files, packed in an MSI installer file.
[02:35] <ibeardslee> does the logo on this site seem familiar .. www.nzma.ac.nz ?
[02:36] <ajmitch> yep, have seen that site before
[02:40] <ibeardslee> do the canonical people think that is worth canonical following up with?
[02:48]  * mwhudson has no idea
[02:48] <ajmitch> probably unlikely given how many similar logos there have been
[02:48] <ajmitch> http://www.brandinfection.com/2005/04/25/msn-spaces-steals-ubuntu-logo/ from a few years ago
[05:42] <G> hads: ahhh right, binary blobs, that goes against the 'open source hardware' bit I guess
