Hello TouchPad, Goodbye Steve Jobs [Weekly Recap - 26 August 2011]

This week's Weekly Recap takes a look at the TouchPad frenzy since HP announced it was shutting down WebOS development. In Android development, rebellos' unbricking method using your very own bootloader on Hummingbird devices, and punkgeek's kernel to enable USB tethering on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, make appearances. For Windows News, Azrienoch talks about the interviews developers contributed to tell the history of the HTC HD2. SassiBoB reviews Bully Block by SedGrid, and finally azrienoch tells us why he's fed up with all the articles lamenting Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple.

Why can't anybody face the fact that Steve Jobs was a hypocritical megalomaniac? Remember that 1984 Apple commercial? What could be more big brother then Itunes and trying to customize your i-device? I support Cydia and if you don't know what that is you're an ignorant fan boy....he was an adopted son who Disowned his own out of wed lock daughter. Just because you're an innovator doesn't mean you can't be a dick.

@ErickLazcon4 look i buaght an android phone... but thats cuz my carrier only has them... apple i duno if i woulda buaght it just cuz they lock down on devs so much and have such a crazy approval system... apple definately has cool products, no disagreeing with u ur sn says erick so im guessing sir, so sir...although apple is over priced (reason #1 why i wont ever buy theyre stuff) theres youtube vids clealry showing apple breaks EASY,, i was shocked when i saw ipad shatter vs an android cracked

[MasSergioVEVO]

yeah i dont get it...i never buaght an ipod... nevr saw the use in it. so expensiveeeee its like i juz want to listen to music god damn it... stop making me pay so damn much for this shit its bad enough i payed for the cd. throw me a bone bitch. @_@

now i just use my over priced android to listen to music on the go with google music app becuase google invoated the android os...uh..oooh... yeah its going full circle with the xda dev said. lol or reall? :/

[adirm18]

@ChakGuitar Hard to imagine a broke and unfit guy like that is hitting a sexy geek chick like her. She could do SO much better.

Although I agree that a lot of what Apple sold was already available, you can argue that to be true of everything that's technology related. When was the last time you bulit an operating system, with or without instruction from others?
