WebOS is going open source

HP announced recently that they are making WebOS available to the open source community. People will be able to tweek it and put it on any device they see fit. (provided you know how to tweek software to work on any device)

It would be interesting to see someone rework the software to run on Intel Core i7 processors. WebOS currently runs on ARM processors

Flipboard for iPhone and iPod touch

I mentioned it before and now it finally happened. Flipboard has come to the iPhone and iPod touch. You can easily import your setting from the iPad using your Flipboard account. Happy reading!

Apple thinks 2 days is too late

Apple recalled the graphics card in my MacBook Pro; however when I went into an Apple store to get mine replaced, I was 12 days late. My computer was experiencing problems with the faulty recalled graphics one month prior, but I was stuck in bed for the past month with severe pneumonia. Unable to leave the house, I missed the deadline by 12 days. When I showed up at the Apple store on that 12th day, they refused to replace it under the recalled agreement. Instead, they said I'd have to pay over $500 to get the graphics replaced. I explained my illness, but they didn't care. I've bought at least three new Apple products per year since 2007, so I'm a pretty good customer. Apple doesn't care, they wouldn't bend their rules for anything.

Thank you so much Apple, you really care about your customers.
