Oh yeah...
Elop was bad enough....
Lets let a privacy and security conscious and dedicated corp like WahWay get their hands on maemo os's ...
That is definitely a really good idea.


China and Russia already are mucking about with Sail...
warping it for their own uses.
Great job Sailfish!
Lets give China and Russia the blueprints to spread the philosophy and methodology of "openness" ...freedom...sharing ...working together ...
I am sure they aren't twisting it to totalitarian ends.

(Don't get me wrong here...it is not an political stance I am taking here...nothing against communism, capitalism, fascism, theocracy, dictatorships, ....we have had them all...and they obviously just don't work...in the end...political machinations mean nothing...tyranny is dependent on natural resource exploitation of either a nations own resources or another's...doesn't matter the right or left leaning. Democra-...oops....haha...hrrumph...Capitalism is dependent even more so on resource...since ...what happens when the store shelves finally go empty? .....either a nation has resource to exploit and can feign a benevolent tyranny ...or...a nation must needs be more severe...militant...oppressive ...whether a theocracy or an oligarchical psuedo socialist state.
In the end...the only thing that truly works to the betterment of all..the only thing never actually tried....is a pure socialist state...transparent...run by people who gain no advantage..all for the betterment of the population.
Which is actually more akin to much older political ideologies ...where the leaders lived and had as much wealth as the poorest of their people...and so elevation of the standard of living of all was paramount...and was reflected in the visible personification of the leaders who either wore good clothes...common clothes...or to the shame of their own people ..visible to all...the clothes of the poor...
purest transparency of purpose with no room for corruption.
Devotion to duty...Duty being a devotion to the people they serve.
Shame was a better motivator than guilt...
Shame meant one could be redeemed...
Guilt based civilizations like today...are horrid...they don't work...there is never any redemption from imposed guilt...it is just there forever...torturing people until they break or just stop caring about their duty ..to themselves and all else around them.
Aeneas or Arjuna are exemplary paragons of how civilizations use of shame and duty ..elevated everyone who embraced it...
Better that than the unending torture of guilt.
Sooooo....just wanted to get that clear on my ...um...direction...)
