I think maybe theres a slight chance I understood what you were saying... Was that sarcasm in the first paragraph? "Waiting three weeks for a simple update of resorting to manual install, not even a yum. On a phone that was bought last week? Sign me up!" Three horrible weeks OMG. I'm just glad google's around to keep the OHA from falling to the tragedy of the commons, even if it means my Droid will take a month or longer (I'm expecting 3) to get the updates announced this week. "Just like the MS" Ah yes, the microsoft... how we all loathe the microsoft.

Is the Federal Government the Most Interesting Tech Startup For 2009? 148

With all of the recent focus on technology and the promises to continue "getting stuff done" by the US government, Techdirt's Masnick suggests that they might just be the most interesting tech startup to watch this year. "But, of course, talk is cheap (especially in politics). And, while Chopra (and Vivek Kundra, the government's CIO) both actually have a nice track record of accomplishing these sorts of goals in their past jobs, the proof is in what's actually getting done. We'd already mentioned at least one success story with the IT dashboard at USASpending.gov, but can it continue? I have to admit, a second thing that impressed me about Chopra was that, even with such a success, he didn't focus on it. The fact that he got together such a site in such a short period of time is impressive enough, and while he mentioned it in his talks, most of them were much more focused not on what he'd already done, but on what he was going to do — and the plans all seemed quite achievable.
