Theory: Why Business People Are Crazy @ 2010-02-01 10:56:27
Filed under: Philosophy Comedy Tech
I've always wondered why business people (marketing, PR, sales, etc..) make little to no sense when they talk about technology including whatever tech they think will make their life magically easy. I happened to come across a company advertising it's services as a low cost development shop to outsource to. As an engineer, I know that outsourcing works in so few cases it's not really worth looking at (unless you are trying to cut costs and get a promotion quickly ignoring the end result of the work). In any case, here is some of their marketing material. Be prepared to be confused (or inspired if you are a business person).
Is your brain fried yet? If so, put on a suit and SELL SELL SELL!

Answered: Question To Palm Over SDK Agreement @ 2009-07-25 17:02:07
Filed under: Philosophy Code Tech
Palm responded to my Pre sdk legal question via twitter with in a few days of my original post. One can make free software tool implementations as long as no palm code is used. I'm quite happy with that answer. So far I've been very impressed with Palm's ability to stay connected with it's community instead of throwing the devices over the fence and then focusing on it's replacement (like some other companies have been doing).

What you are using our software? Unlike the other software you buy. For our software is the tool, if deployed, or a professional you must learn to apply themselves will not achieve the desired effect. When using our software than the software you buy (the tools) you will be advised and supported during implementation of the software, and you will be maintaining the software during operating software.

From: Steve 'Ashcrow' Milner To: Palm webOSDev Cc: Bcc: Subject: Re: Hello future Palm webOS developers! Reply-To: In-Reply-To: <200907172152.n6HLqDY3000183@mailhost01.palm.com> X-OS: Linux powerhouse 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64 x86_64 I know this is a general email but I'm going to reply back with my question anyway just in case it's read :-) ... I'm an open source developer (and not a lawyer), and after looking over the terms for using the SDK it *seems* like it states that someone like me could not write an open source implementation of palm-generate or other tools (100% from scratch) if I use the SDK. Is this correct? I'd love to start writing applications for my pre! ... but I also don't want to tie my hands up if I do want to do a free software palm-generate clone. -- Thanks!
