Apple and Google will gladly erase the works of developers to chase profits.

I still have high hopes for the Open WebOS project.

WebOS was amazing. I didn't know what performance was until I touched a WebOS phone

What I loved most about WebOS was that their games ran flawlessly on my Nokia N900.

Dude, same! The N900 had such terrible (or non-existent) games, and then someone wrote a webOS app and suddenly I was able to play Need4Speed with perfect 3D clarity

Fun fact, Angry Birds had its first release on the N900. Good times.
