Open-Source iClip SVN established on Google Code

by Erica Sadun Aug 3rd 2007 at 5:00PM

Today hackers have responded to InsanelyGreatTee's post about the official Apple iPhone paperclip. We have created an open source (and free) alternative to Apple's proprietary and closed paperclip architecture hosted at Google Code. All developers are welcome to contribute and to help with the open-source iClip project and we hope to have a working pre-pre-alpha prototype delivered in under a week.

Update: make sure to check out the issues list

I'm expecting a law suit from the Producers of MacGyver, since they have already developed this tool:

Thanks for the laugh!

I'm sorry for those who lack a sense of humour, but please don't stop posting funny stuff because of their whining.

@ Erica:

I (arm6768@gmail.com) would like to join this project. What would I need to do for you to add me?

Wow. I never realised how many humor deprived people come here. I wonder if they are former Windows users, and this is a side effect... Hopefully it isnt permanent...


And for the record, every sane person knows that closed source is the only way to maintain the integrity and stability of the paper clip.

Would have been much more worth my time if there was some actual content there. And while what Stitch said is true, that would be like me starting a Firefox killing web browser page on google code, not posting any actual content and then saying, "well it's open source, the actual browser is only a few keyboard taps away..." If you're going to respond to something make it worth our time TUAW.

The SVN is open source, so satirical info is only a few keyboard taps away, if you are so inclined.
