Chumby calls it quits after tricky transition from hardware to software | VentureBeat

That's kinda sad. Not surprising, but still sad.

I never heard of this before, but it's adorable.

Well, there's their first obvious problem.

I was going to get one back in 2008, and was all giggly at the prospect of hacking it, but mduell talked me out of it. They had critical functionality problems (or "suck vectors" as he called them), like the alarm clock not working reliably.

Ha, I remember that. Still mock my two coworkers who bought them for that decision.

And I still remember "suck vector", and use it often.

Whoops. Never mind.
