Seems like most things went wrong when Gobe went public announcing that GobeProductive development would reactivated. It also seems like my questions were more or less in place as well. Bruce Q. Hammond is still in charge, and has written an open e-mail to OSNEWS / Community: “I just saw the Gobe/BeOS story on OSNews. It is true that Gobe and BLG have a distribution/development deal in India and China, much of the rest of the story is misleading. GobeProductive is not going to buy […] Continue reading →

Yesterday, my friend Daniel (DaaT) over at IsComputerOn, wrote that GoBe office solution was back. First I went wow, that’s cool, and I continued reading.

I have the last days gotten a lot of questions about what I think about MacOS X 10.5. I sadly cannot tell you yet, but I will be getting a copy of Leopard from the central computer department at work on Monday or Thuesday.

I knew that Norway was not to use MPEG-2, but instead go for H.264 (MPEG-4). It turned out that NTV already had switched their test broadcasts from the Tryvann antenna to the […] Continue reading →

Seems like also Magnussoft found out that they were riding a dead horse. I stopped using ZETA more or less a year ago, but was following the development to January this year. I don’t know if there was a fight between Bernd Korz and Magnussoft, and I am rather thinking that Magnussoft didn’t get anything back on the money they invested in ZETA. There is no place for ZETA in the ongoing OS war (Haiku included). There is only space for the three big ones, Windows, MacOS X and […] Continue reading →
