i don't know how old rotor's kids are but like 80% of the parents of the kids on the robotics team strike me as rotors of one form or another so it's quite possible that i've already met him and we don't know

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
Cloud services support for webOS devices will be ending on January 15, 2015. We appreciate our customer's loyalty the webOS platform. But now, more than three (3) years after the last device was sold, only a small fraction of the devices are still connecting. Therefore, the time has come to shut down the services.

All devices running webOS devices will continue to run after the cloud services are terminated. However, they will no longer be able to:
• Download new apps or updates. The HP App Catalog will be unavailable after the shutdown
• Backup or restore devices from the cloud
• Setup new devices
• Recover lost passwords

What this means to you:
• The HP App Catalog will stop supporting new app purchases on November 1, 2014
• Updates may be posted by developers until November 10, 2014 and users can download any available updates until the services shut down
• You should make arrangements to backup or transfer your contacts, etc.prior to the service shutdown on January 15, 2015
You will no longer be able to backup, restore, reset or initialize a webOS device as of January 15, 2015


THE END IS NIGH!

not according to them you weren't. i'm pretty sure the first-run has to talk to an HP server to complete, so you can't do anything that triggers the first-run wizard.

if it weren't for those android fucks taking over homebrew dev for the touchpad you'd probably have someone make a bypass hack or spoofed server inside a week of it going down.
