Hey!
Just heard the horse meat discussion. Check out how we use it here in Sweden on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_meat. Just like smoked ham! =)
I won’t comment on the Ubuntu phone itself (I rather not comment on even potential competitors of my employer), but let me get out of my chest my pet peeve on whole this kerfuffle: no journalist writing their BS about Ubuntu Phone haven’t noticed that there is another mobile OS, which is actually developed in open (https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G), which actually is run by normal people (/me included) on many phones, there are real major industry backers behind it (Telefónica, Qualcomm, ZTE; see https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=Firefox+OS for more), etc. However, nobody noticed it.
Grrrrrr.
I wouldn’t say nobody noticed. It was in our story on The H and Vlad Savov on The Verge pointed it out as well. Possibly also the Ars story…
Sorry, just afterwards I thought that you may take it personally. That I didn’t mean.
Nah, no worries! I’m not that easy to rattle. I was just saying.
My reply to http://djmcloud.danieljmckeown.com/blog/2013/01/djmcloud-podcast-66-hotbeds-of-hackers that I left on this page: http://djmcloud.danieljmckeown.com/about — mirrored here, just in case it never turns up over there.
“What? You criticise my eating habits and don’t even give me a chance to reply? What the heck is wrong with eating horses? I’ve eaten horses, cows, ducks, pigs, chickens, snakes, iguanas, kangaroos, frogs, oysters, fish, fowls, mussels….. I’d probably eat rats, dogs and lichen too (look it up in the SAS Survival Handbook) if the situation required it. It’s all the same, really. If you find any of that appalling, it’s only in your head. Your body doesn’t give a damn.”
