Pebble doesn't run Android, it uses a custom embedded OS and the apps are written in C.

Ten million seems high, but they're not stupid enough to write their OS in Java, so maybe it'll happen.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

ian why dont you think of another idea, this time pick one that has a clear path to being economically viable and that is relatively quick to get off the ground.

I am happy too actually. So... I guess I can say thank you government. They have those performance targets, but it keeps me going I suppose. Perhaps if my performance exceeds expectations I can get more funding.

I feel like I have become a product of this system. Whatever.

I will take the money, and just keep doing good. It is what it is.

I will tell you though...


I could definitely use an exceeds expectations bonus right now. That is for sure.
