Some commits pushed to git?
A parallel with that at this point ..would be hair and fingernails on a buried corpse still growing.
The neo is not coming back...
It is almost hopelessly behind in specs now to what devices currently ACTUALLY exists right now that people have bought.
Even if the neo gets out of the proto stage and is ready for sale ...
when would a realistic date for that be now..?
1? 2? 3? 5 more years?
No ...it is done..
Even if it came out this year...
It would be hard to sell 100 or even 200 of them..
They lost the edge they had in specs in relation to what was out selling 5 years ago...
Since then they have lost a huge amount...
It isn't an edge anymore ...
the standard for specs ...put the neo's in a deficit.
and that deficit is always growing.
And technological change ...and the disappearance and obsolescence of needed parts setting them back further and further...
to have to source and test alternatives was always what the team was fighting..
Time was their adversary.
I said those exact same words years ago...
That they have an edge for a span ...but given enough elapsed time....without an end result ..and they will lose that edge.....until it is at par ...then a negative...
They are definitely spec and sourced-parts wise..in the red now.
Pete's got it right.
When Santa himself says Christmas is dead ...
Well ....there go the presents...
(Do I REEEELY have to post Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch ..
So the gamut of what "dead" refers to ...is covered adequately?)
