New Web-Based Netbook From Litl — Based On Clutter, Uncluttered 109

Posted by timothy on Wednesday November 04, 2009 @05:24PM from the looks-nifty-will-it-ship? dept.

cananian writes "The webbook company of Gnome's own Havoc Pennington (with a healthy dose of ex-Nokia and ex-OLPC engineers) finally shed its secrecy today, with a new web site and an article in the WSJ. Technical specs on the hardware were found by Engadget last week, and now comes a bit more information on the software behind the UI. Most of the client software is written in JavaScript with GTK/Clutter bindings, and the UI has some superficial similarities to Pentagram's designs for OLPC's Sugar."

(by a mechanism as yet unexplained... I'd expect a time travelling species to be pretty much indestructible under normal circumstances). Daleks can also travel in time. Hence it being a 'Time War'. Imagine the ending of the second Bill and Ted film - "We set up the key, and we set up the gun" - but with facistic death crazed pepper pots. - Aidan (Staaaaatiiooon)
