I was really excited about the Chromecast when it was first announced. But sadly Google have really hamstrung it every step of the way.
Luckily, Mozilla is developing a very similar device (Matchstick [1]), and looking to do it better. I am unable to find the link at the moment, but they already support like 3 or 4 times as many media formats as chromecast. And Mozilla has a pretty good track record with hackable, open projects.

- doublec 12y agoI don't believe Mozilla is developing it. It's an external companies product but they are using Mozilla's Firefox OS on it. I could be wrong but that's my understanding from the material presented.
- Widdershin 12y agoAn external company driven by members of the Firefox OS team. So not Mozilla, but close enough.
- doublec 12y agoI don't believe this to be the case, unless the definition of 'driven by' is different to what I understand it to be. Can you provide more information?
- Widdershin 12y agoAfter checking my sources, I am indeed wrong. Sorry to anyone who took me at my word, it seems Mozilla has no ties to Matchstick.
