And that’s why I came here before potentially seeing something that would make me sad in the article.

Fireworks for me. I miss that whole suite though.

No ransom. This might be someone's hobby project but it is dangerous, or will be, to the handful of dweeby, fake-ripped broligarchs that want to control ALL of our conversations.

And the board is probably afraid to fire him now too.

That might have been me.

I still have mine too, and really for the same reason. It is such a great design, and the aesthetic of a water-smoothed river stone was really cohesive. The Pre was all smooth lines and soft curves. Just gorgeous.

It was such an innovative Mobile UI for its time, and the physical slide-out keyboard of the Pre, was a really satisfying typing experience. These days, people take for granted that they can dismiss an app by simply "flicking" it up and off the screen on your mobile phone, but that whole visual metaphor and activity came from WebOS. It felt like the first true multi-tasking mobile phone. shucks I miss it.

Remembering the BlackBerry keyboard leads me to remembering the Palm Pre, which had so much potential. In many ways, still my favorite phone ever. It's sad to see WebOS reduced to Smart TV shit.

Do it. I canceled all my streaming and music subscriptions about a year ago and would highly recommend it to all right thinking people.
