You can run any hardware-compatible OS.
They're not checked before being run, so you don't have to bother with the RSA 1024-bits key :P

So, you can run third party OSes or modified TI OSes for example. ^^
Sweet.
I'm still compiling ndless...
The OS needs to be unencrypted, right?

Not sure if you know but brooom has a auto ndless compiler compiles ndless every day.

Yes. This is the only difficult part for users, and, I guess, is the only thing that makes the user responsable of its OSLauncher uses.

I don't think they are encrypted in the first place.
They are just singed with a signature that protects the calc from running ones with invalid signatures.
(again, can be wrong in this)

The TI-Nspire.img in a tno/c is encrypted.

Bump:

I think Ticalc.org has divided by zero. After sticking with red and blue bordered news since their 1999 site redesing, here come green ones!

O.O

Yeah it was actually green. I guess both jokes were the fake retirement from TravisE and the green-bordered news article (although it was blue at first). It was surprising at first, since it kinda... erm... broke the flow of time. :P

Standard Skin 9.6 Blue Mini. I originally used Opera Classic 9.0, because I don't like the Opera default themes from 10 upwards. Sadly, Classic 9.0 broke in Opera 11 D:, and Standard Skin 9.6 Blue Mini was the closest I could find...

I doubt it's CSS, because Ticalc barely use any. The only CSS they have it seems is http://www.ticalc.org/style . It probably didn't exist in 1999.

Anyway, here's a compilation of April fools jokes for 2012 in the TI community!

TI-Planet:
-TI-Nspire mini-projector

Omnimaga:
-Same as TI-Planet (joint prank)

Ticalc.org:
-Travis retirement
-Green-bordered news article

TI-BANK:
-OS 3.2 release earlier than expected (thank got it isn't real lol. I think we can wait for 3.2 :P)

Planète-Casio:
-Casio develops PRIZM game add-ins Solitaire and Pinball

Has anybody seen anything on Cemetech, Revsoft, MaxCoderz, yAronet, United-TI, TI-BASIC Developer or any other calc site?

I was hoping to mess with people's heads with the border color, maybe making them wonder if it might have actually been real. I wanted to have it that way longer, but there wasn't much time left before April 1 was over.

Another thing I'm not sure if anyone noticed was that I made the front page return a 403 error for a few seconds at about 20–30 second intervals. This only lasted a few hours up until midnight April 2 CEST, though.

Also, if anyone happened to watch the file upload page, you would notice the pending files constantly increasing throughout the day, eventually reaching a peak of about 1650 files before I shut down the prank.
