CherryOS gets air time on cable

TechTV was a guilty pleasure of mine before Comcast bought it, fired pretty much everyone and then turned it into G4tv - which I find mostly unwatchable.

But tonight I’ll be watching.  Although the CherryOS website still says that it is “On Hold - until further notice,” Attack of the Show will be featuring how to “run Mac OSX on a PC using PearPC CherryOS” on this evening’s show.  Coincidentally, they’ll also be checking out “some inventions from prison” which may very well be where the shysters behind the blatant PearPC ripoff can be found next.

You can tune in to the spectacle tonight at 7pm ET (4pm PT) - or set your TiVo to grab one of the 4 re-airings: 12am, 3am, or 12pm ET on Apr 7th or 12am on Apr 10th.

I just forced myself to fast forward (you didn't think i would really watch that sludge, did you?) through 52 minutes of the show to hear kevin rose finally say something to the effect of "we were supposed to do a segment on CherryOS but they got sued so we can't do it."

Laurie, you're right. I read a few places that said that they didn't expect the show to comment on the way CherryOS compares to PearPC; it seemed as though, even after reading the shows description, that they were going to showcase this 'new technology', but yes, and after reading these things and getting frustrated at not being able to find the show's contact information, I read this article here, and replied the way I did. Did anyone watch the show? Did they mention PearPC?

A-men to finding the new G4-tech TV unwatchable. Before the takeover-- it was great. Now it's pretty much an abomination unto technology. I actually downgraded my satellite subscription to have the network removed so I wouldn't be reminded of how bad it is.

Tom - since it hasn't aired yet, how do you know they don't?

Does anyone know of a way to contact the show and complain about them airing this without talking about how it's really PearPC. Such garbage.
