Dan, where have I quoted anyone "out of context"? You really need to avoid falling back on cheap tactics like this, and like your previous name-calling, when you don't have anything substantive to say in response. The story I cited is available for anyone to read<http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/03/android_qualcomm/>; they can draw their own conclusions about it. I didn't leave a bit of "context" out, and I'd love to see you demonstrate otherwise. If you're going to accuse me of quoting out of context, however, I think it's incumbent on you to *provide *the context you feel I've left out. Or you could always apologize to me. Again. > I'm not going to address your conspiracy theory about the Alliance, > because it's just silly. Well, maybe you can explain to me why there seems to be no particular evidence of an actual "Open Handset Alliance" beyond the initial announcement of its existence. Am I incorrect about the license agreement on the SDK...? Or the ownership of the domain...? Or the copyright notices...? What conclusion do you *want *me to draw, Dan? Does the Open Handset Alliance have offices? Or a board of directors? Who runs it? Where's it located? I'd be very interested to hear I'm mistaken about any of this, but I don't think I am. The Linux Foundation has offices, officers and a board of directors. As does the Linux Phone Standards Forum. As does the LiMo Foundation. As does the Open Media Now! Foundation. As does the GNOME Foundation. I could go on citing examples, but you get the point. What's the governance model of the Open Handset Alliance? I'd be all kinds of interested in hearing the details.... Or you could always just call me a "troll" again, instead, I suppose. 2008/4/7 Stone Mirror <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 1:18 AM, ian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > Cary Harper wrote: > > > > We applied several months ago and never heard back.
