I hope to see soon a PriPup (Privacy-assured Tablet).

thanks for the good news, till now I've only heard about puppy's Pi version for ARM cpu s (which I prefer over Intel and even AMD, actually I am going to be a user of not very large companies as I suspect them in many respects), hope it won't need years as I'm not sure for how long I can live puppyless! Living on my wife's Mac is too limiting for me coming from the linux land with all its varieties and wonders !Lobster wrote: Intel chip based tablets do. Touch screen support is now in woof puppy build system. We are likely to try and make a commitment to cheap ARM devices once suitable inexpensive tablets emerge that can develop from present porting to ARM efforts.
Agreed, it is all about pay and pay and pay. Other than browsers, the only app I have found which lives on Android and Linux is FbReader. Android phones are worse. You cannot move any of the apps which came on the phone to an sd card without rooting the phone. Rooting the phone voids the warranty. If average Joe buys an inexpensive Android phone, he runs out of space after installing about 30Mb of apps.This sticks the average user with the Apple business model. You run out of space, buy another expensive device.runtt21 wrote:The bad thing is all of the good apps and stuff cost $ . Puppy can do much more for much less
I really wish it had rox .
I only use free appsAgreed, it is all about pay and pay and pay.
Actually, no xPad or xPhone should be without a cell antenna built-in, too.runtt21 wrote:That is all it lacks , a forward facing camera and the capacity to take and save/send pics and video. It can video chat now so not to much more to ask.

Clearly, instructions on how to root your android device are all over the internet, and are widely supported. I wouldn't and haven't thought twice about rooting my nexus7.Only if the bootloader is locked. If you buy from a company like asus, they post the unlock tool right on their support page. The law only applies to breaking DRM. If the manufacturer waives it, you're in the clear.
We are very pleased that the existing exemptions for jailbreaking and vidding were renewed and, in the case of vidding, significantly extended. That is an important victory for tinkerers and creators," EFF's intellectual property director Corynne McSherry told CNET. "It's unfortunate that the Copyright Office didn't take the logical next step and extend the jailbreaking exemption to tablets and consoles, but we are confident it will do so in the next round."
Typical response:As far as I know, "sodomy" is considered to be anything other than missionary position. Butt-sex, blowjobs, doggy style, reverse cowgirl, 69, cunnilingus, sideways, standing up, lotus position, and pretty much the entirety of the Kama Sutra are technically illegal.
I think that I've violated every archaic, unenforced law mentioned so far.
