Kinda? The problem is that once a competitor shows up and does well (Google search, iPhone), Microsoft flails with their legacy stuff (Windows CE Mobile Phone Series 6.5, Microsoft Windows Media Audio PlaysForSure) for a couple years, and t

It really couldn't be much easier with the twitter gem, and it's way easier to clean up after an "oh shit I left credentials in that public script" moment; just re-generate the secrets on the twitter site. https://gist.github.com/cfc477a0c

Couldn't they use a tree-like distribution system where each node only receives pulls from a small number of child nodes? You could organize this by giving each server an incrementing number and using math to deduce their parent node, much

It's not nice when "customers" that haven't bought hardware in two years decide they deserve new software that costs money to develop and test for legacy hardware either. They're a business, not a phone firmware charity.
