[Mainframeguy]

reminds me of my recently being Ebay scammed out of £132.75 ! .... but that's another story

 

[Xie]

It's not looking promising, is it?

Yeah story is on frontpage of /. again

 

[Mainframeguy]

I smell /. corruption linkage - quick! someone expose it!

 

[Kush]

well the site is back up, but its just a cover page and thats it, with some emails and a link to a video streaming site? whats that about

 

[Xie]

My guess is the video site is either a host or an ad to pay for this fake site.

 

[Grandmaster]

First of all, as has been established this is a big fake. Second, apparently the manual uses the same screenshots as the PearPC manual...and if you look carefully, the screenshots do look docotored. For example, the area around the text in the screenshots is a lot more "blurred" than the rest of the screenshot.

Yeah, these guys are just big ripoffs.

 

[Reg]

They switched hosts to Serverbeach. But, we all know it's a fake. The links on their site are nothing but email links.

 

[SPeedY_B]

Well they claim November 25th is the date for the Demo.

I guess we'll see.

 

[Johnny]

Yep .. I am going to download this bad boy and see if is real or not .. All I can say so far is that Pearpc are saying it's fake and other backstabbing statements because this company was able to get it to work "RIGHT"

 

[SPeedY_B]

Far from it, PearPC got it right, what they did was groundbreaking. What people fail to see if that what they achieved was previously thought of as impossible, whether it runs slow or not. PowerPC is a completely different architecture, and emulating it on x86 isn't something to be taken lightly.

That is true yes. But if you think about it, if this thing works as good as they say it does. They were able to do what pearpc hasn't yet. That is enough to make them jealous. That is all I am saying ... Heck I look for them to be having some kind of statement about the creators of this to turn out working for pearpc lol .. That is if this is real ..

 

[NetRyder]

I have my doubts on this one, but we'll see.

though this seems as likely as the free flash drive, and the free norton antivirus, I still applied for those, and waited anxiously for the delivery.

I wait again with baited breath...a few short days

 

[X-Istence]

Costly hoax after /.'ing

I bet

 

[NetRyder]

Well, two more days, and we'll find out. Just don't keep your hopes up.

 

[fitz]

lol.. look (http://www.mauistyle.biz/contentpage.aspx?id=52) they already have a clothing line!

[SPeedY_B]

Ooooh, I'll buy some, I'll be proud to sport the logo of a product that's never going to exist.

Just for reference, that lovely demo that was coming in 2-days, and they were SO confident wasn't PearPC code, and was absolutely amazing and would definitely be ready and available to all... in 2 days... has been put back to next year

Seems removing all the PearPC code is taking longer than they expected

 

[NetRyder]

Why am I not surprised?

 

[Perris Calderon]

*beta*..that's a good one...of course, no one heard of any beta testing...it must be the same group that beta tests adaware

 

[Johnny]

lol .. That is funny - They say the first quarter of 2005, but when does their first quarter of 2005 begin ??
