I can tell you right now, Maemo will not use Qt Embedded.

'Bad code' is very subjective, and I would like you to prove Qt is slower than Gtk. Just because you say it's so, does not make it as such.

One reason they are going with Qt, is because they bought Trolltech. They could not have that much control over gtkMM, however ancient and unmaintained that code is.

Submission + - "Unlocked" a brand for DRM-Free Media (neurostechnology.com)

JoeBorn writes: "Neuros has created an 'unlocked' brand for open, standard DRM-Free files that it hopes will draw attention to the issues associated with the DRM Schemes promoted by the likes of MS and Apple. The idea is that by creating an open brand (free for other organizations or companies to use) "Unlocked" can come to designate a consumer feature, which would be an important asset in getting support from other manufacturers, as well as winning the public relations war that's so important in legislative battles."

Submission + - Can Hardware Have "distributions" like Lin (neurostechnology.com) 2

JoeBorn writes: "Neuros and DVRupgrade are partnering on a set of bounties to modify the Neuros OSD to synchronize with TiVo. Neuros has a blog posting suggesting that open source electronics will go the way of Linux with "multiple distributions" supported by multiple 3rd parties selling almost like affiliates. Do you believe open source hardware follow the distribution model of open source software? Have the barriers to entry dropped so low that virtually anyone can sell customized hardware out of their bedroom?"
