I don't know, I was able to flash 6.5 (albeit a 'cooked aka. modded' version) onto my HTC Touch Diamond and I had WinMo 6.1 Pro on it before. Working good so far, love the new home screen.

Well, no surprise there these days, everyone panics at the mention of a virus that has been found on their systems... I see these ads all the time and get enough calls from my aunts and uncles about them too... They install these things and then wonder why their system gets hosed...

The funny thing though, I got called by a new mac user who hit one of these things and panicked because it was a rendition of the my computer window from xp (seeing as they migrated from an xp system to mac and asked the local tech shop to transfer their data) saying that a virus was detected. The lols I got from that.

Yowza, that's a nasty little bug... ingenious, but nasty none-the-less.

I'm gonna chime in here a bit regarding Google's Apps and Android.

From what I can determine here, Google is asking the modder to not distribute their proprietary applications that are used to communicate with their services as it's Google's own code, and thus it's not open the public. Hence the cease and desist order regarding the bundling of Google Apps. Google does have a number of open APIs that allow third party developers to tie in their own software to Google's services, and that's the point, why provide APIs when you could use Google's own code, if it were open sourced, and tweak it a bit? It would be a lot easier for developers, yes, but also would kill a lot of innovation and motivation on both ends as well.

Regarding Android, Google did Open-Source the OS itself, thus allowing everyone access to its guts and workings. and allowing modders to do something. Google did say that it supports the work of modders, it's just asking them not redistribute it's Apps suite, while free, is entirely within it's legal scope as a software developer to do so.

Are you sure now? Looks like a sequential of duplicates with tiny edits...

Interesting, though I could see this more in a workstation setup for AV/Photo guys or powering commercial displays. I have a triple setup and it's more than enough for me, though a 4th screen would be great for keeping tabs on systems details, e-mail, weather and my local CCTV setup.

Heh, TI's still at it huh? Can't say that I enjoyed mine much... an old TI-83+ and I had the PC connectivity kit for it too. The thing froze and crashed more often than the PCs in school labs (which were bug infested and we had a crap ass tech). Now it sits in a drawer somewhere with all my other old crap as it bricked itself during an OS update.

Actually this thing is possible, I remember seeing part of a BSOD at the local science and tech museum on one of their digital displays similar to the Cowboys one... it was a for a mock NASA setup and it had one of those tickers that going across the top of the 20 foot wide setup.

And here's another reason why Microsoft is headed in the direction of Apple... run some sort of campaign to mislead consumers and sales people about their next largest competitor...

It may have been done on Fido, but it doesn't work like it's supposed to... I've 'had' it for the last 2 years and so far I have yet to receive a text message that I'm about to go over my minutes and I do some months.
