[10:09] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[12:09] <diddledan> popey: does this kind of thing pee you off as much as it does me? (the repeated unsubstantiated claims that "our phones are abandoned") https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg23540.html
[12:36] <diddledan> good read: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/style/2017/02/16/how-weird-al-eclipsed-almost-every-star-he-ever-parodied/
[12:39] <zmoylan-pi> how much of that is down to just outlasting them all?
[12:50] <popey> diddledan: they have a point
[15:32] <ali1234> i was thinking the other day
[15:32] <ali1234> what if ubuntu edge got funded, and 2.5 years after delivery the OS was in the state it is now
[15:33] <ali1234> how much do you think people would be complaining then?
[15:34] <ali1234> at least the ubuntu phones that did get released were relatively inexpensive
[16:04] <SuperMatt> an interesting thought
[16:05] <SuperMatt> I think that maybe the boost of income from the edge may have pushed the development a little harder
[16:14] <popey> Maybe.
[16:15] <popey> Maybe that would have spurred us to hire more people
[16:15] <popey> Maybe not. No way to tell.
[16:20] <foobarry> i read that 99.6%of phones are androidios
[16:20] <SuperMatt> they're android or ios, indeed
[16:20] <SuperMatt> gonna be quite difficult breaking in to that market now
[17:07] <directhex> if microsoft can't crack the smartphone market, i don't see canonical doing it
[17:31] <ali1234> to be fair microsoft are notoriously bad at entering new markets
[17:31] <ali1234> they'll try and fail for years, then apple does it first try
[17:31] <ali1234> or sometimes the second try
[18:58] <zmoylan-pi> you have to hand it to microsoft though, if you don't they'll send someone around to sue you for it... :-P
