| rick_h_ | ok, I'm going to sound like a google fanboi or whatever, but wtf MS and company giong after android. You can have access to the source/android withuot the google bits, you just don't get access to the google bits. | 13:19 |
| rick_h_ | iOS you don't get access to ANYTHING | 13:20 |
| brousch | context? | 13:20 |
| rick_h_ | sorry, assumed everyone's been seeing the anti trust complaints brought up in the EU by MS, Nokia, Oracle, etc | 13:21 |
| rick_h_ | http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/04/09/google-microsoft-antitrust/2066403/ for instance | 13:21 |
| brousch | They are desperate | 13:24 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: Microsoft is using Google paranoia to try to get some anti-trust shit started. | 13:26 |
| snap-l | Any port in a storm, and all. | 13:26 |
| jrwren | if I was ms, I'd be kicking and scratching like that too. | 13:44 |
| jrwren | EU made them ship a version of their OS without browser, without media player - and for what? | 13:45 |
| jrwren | to waste time really. | 13:45 |
| jrwren | and cost court fees and stuff. | 13:45 |
| rick_h_ | so the 'share the pain' idea then? | 13:45 |
| jrwren | Its pretty arguable that GOOG is even more entrenched in search than MS ever was in desktop computer. | 13:45 |
| jrwren | yes. | 13:45 |
| jrwren | share the pain. | 13:45 |
| brousch | I really can't blame MS for going after Google on mobile | 13:45 |
| jrwren | The government is crazy - it needs to beat up huge corporations equally. | 13:45 |
| rick_h_ | I think the stats show it's not equal though | 13:45 |
| jrwren | i blame the EU | 13:46 |
| rick_h_ | MS had over 95% back then if I recall | 13:46 |
| rick_h_ | but yea, EU fail | 13:46 |
| rick_h_ | google share end of '12 67% | 13:46 |
| snap-l | I do find it strangely satisfying that MS is bitching about OSS though. | 13:48 |
| rick_h_ | MS is still over 90% market share according to wikipedia | 13:48 |
| snap-l | That's desktop | 13:48 |
| snap-l | They're nowhere near that in mobile | 13:49 |
| rick_h_ | oh definitely | 13:49 |
| snap-l | and they're noticing that mobile is the new PC | 13:49 |
| rick_h_ | but I'm comparing MS when they got in trouble with EU vs google's share of search | 13:49 |
| snap-l | I don't think that's a valid comparison | 13:49 |
| snap-l | you can switch search engines with a few keystrokes | 13:50 |
| snap-l | you can't change your OS nearly as easily. | 13:50 |
| rick_h_ | ok, well just addressing jrwren above. :P | 13:50 |
| rick_h_ | " Its pretty arguable that GOOG is even more entrenched in search than MS ever was in desktop computer." | 13:50 |
| rick_h_ | this does seem to be a little bit like MS going after canonical by using it's free OS to go after music purchases, file storage users, etc | 13:51 |
| jrwren | the case isn't about google phone share, its about google search share. | 13:56 |
| jrwren | ms is going after canonical? | 13:56 |
| jrwren | I don't see where MS is bitching about OSS. | 13:58 |
| jrwren | snap-l: you reading between the lines somehwere? | 13:58 |
| jrwren | http://thejh.net/misc/website-terminal-copy-paste | 14:01 |
| snap-l | jrwren: There was a mention of Android in that article. | 15:26 |
| jrwren | android is open source again? | 15:27 |
| brousch | :P | 15:33 |
| snap-l | Reminder: MUG Meeting tonight. | 16:37 |
| rick_h_droid | party | 16:38 |
| jhansonxi | A funding campaign for a 3D scanner (supports Linux): http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/photon-3d-scanner | 16:44 |
| greg-g | I'm lazy, are the designs all freely licensed? | 16:44 |
| jhansonxi | greg-g, are you referring to the scanner? | 16:45 |
| greg-g | yeppers | 16:45 |
| jhansonxi | No info about licensing so I think not. Some of devs have open source experience. | 16:47 |
| jhansonxi | It's small but big enough for capturing 3D meshes of small models and household items for use in Blender. | 16:48 |
| jcastro | greg-g: thinking of you! | 16:51 |
| jcastro | http://i.imgur.com/VDPR0EI.jpg | 16:51 |
| greg-g | jhansonxi: sounds neat, I just have a policy against funding anything that isn't Freely licensed :) | 16:51 |
| greg-g | jcastro: you and you shavers, denying your manhood ;) | 16:52 |
| jcastro | :) | 16:52 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 16:53 |
| rick_h_ | so when we we move to Austin now? At least it should have better food than KC | 16:57 |
| greg-g | wait, google fiber in Austin now? | 16:58 |
| rick_h_ | "mid-2014" | 16:58 |
| greg-g | also, KC has pretty good BBQ, not as good as Texas, I admit, though ;) | 16:58 |
| greg-g | hrmmmmmm, I doubt I can swing that with Carrie :) | 16:59 |
| rick_h_ | http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57578651-93/google-fiber-heads-to-austin/ | 16:59 |
| Blazeix | well, if we have to move CHC due to Caribou issues, i suggest moving it to Austin, TX. | 17:09 |
| rick_h_ | hah! | 17:09 |
| greg-g | hey, we're making changes anyways, just rip the bandaid off and do them all at once! | 17:12 |
| rick_h_ | but it's not portland :P | 17:12 |
| * rick_h_ hates TX | 17:12 | |
| greg-g | the only good thing in TX is a buddy of mine who moved to Austin recently | 17:12 |
| brousch | Sounds hot | 17:13 |
| rick_h_ | I do hear Austin is unlines most of TX, but there's the whole heat issue | 17:13 |
| brousch | Too hot | 17:13 |
| rick_h_ | yep | 17:13 |
| snap-l | But just think of it: you could saddle up some of the insects and fly to work | 17:25 |
| snap-l | It'd be like riding a pegasus, except 100x creepier | 17:25 |
| greg-g | snap-l: you ever tried to suggest music to the somafm djs? | 17:28 |
| * greg-g loves the heat | 17:32 | |
| snap-l | greg-g: No, I haven't the foggiest how to do so | 17:33 |
| greg-g | there are emails for the djs listed, snap-l, so I'll just do that, just wondering if you know they are generally receptive/unreceptive (nevermind what their website says) | 17:34 |
| greg-g | Folk Forward has a really limited set of artists so far, I could send him like 20 names and it'll keep the same feel but be much less annoying (ugh, Ben Howard again?!) | 17:34 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: https://plus.google.com/u/0/104537541227697934010/posts/ZctvqrYf4sy !!! /me wants! | 17:54 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: that's awesome | 17:55 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: hahaha, you are gonna build that, aren't you? | 17:57 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: I mean come on, bottle of wine, some crackers. Ride bikes down to the park withthe wife. Tell me that doesn't get you badass husband points! | 17:58 |
| greg-g | haha | 17:58 |
| greg-g | I normally just use my pannier, but this is sexier | 17:58 |
| rick_h_ | fold out table | 17:58 |
| brousch | Who can pick one of these up for me? http://blog.djangocircus.com/post/47543083800/django-pony-unchained-hoodies | 17:58 |
| jrwren | yup. | 17:58 |
| jcastro | that is awesome | 17:59 |
| snap-l | Linode just upped the memory on their offerings | 21:03 |
| snap-l | $20 for 1GB | 21:03 |
| brousch | nice | 21:03 |
| snap-l | Howdy. | 22:49 |
| rick_h_ | party party | 22:49 |
| greg-g | I'm on a tall building roof with lyz (pleia2), it is super nice out here in SF, I'm kind hot in the sun | 22:50 |
| * rick_h_ looks out into the rainy 40deg day | 22:50 | |
| greg-g | hey, we don't get many nice days here | 22:51 |
| snap-l | WE're out here at MUG. :) | 23:03 |
| snap-l | Hello weeds | 23:56 |
