Still seems fake. TI buying Omnimaga = community content controlled by lucrative corporation = interests everwhere = no right to disagree = no going against them. Just imagine how happy they would be with Ndless that gives nearly full control on Nspire OSes as they desperately try to block it, or the hacked signature keys for apps and 3rd-party OSes (KnightOS for example). I'm also sure they would be happy with the disassembled TIOS source floating around here. So unless TI really changed its mentality in a very significant (and sudden) way, I'm hoping this is a classic April fool.
Hmmm you saw the papers.... I guess it is really then. To be honest though I am not sure how buying omnimaga correlates to them trying to have a better relationship with the programming community. Why would they want to buy omnimaga? If they wanted to make developers happy they could fix some of the bugs in their os's that have been around for years, they could fix their nspire os so that it can support third party compiled programs without giving them os prevelages (linux perhaps?). If they did that they would make a lot of developers happy. The only reason that I can think of for ti to buy omnimaga is to control what is released by the community. What do you guys think? Why would ti actually want to buy omnimaga?
This is just like Facebook buying Oculus. Seemed like a joke at the time (and even horrifying), before people accepted it as reality. And for Oculus, it's a good thing - they get a LOT more resources to further VR! (This came out of a recent interview with one of the Oculus' founders.)
