I don’t like reporting on broken webOS apps. Nope. But here’s another. This time ‘Instagrio‘, the Instagram view-only app, has been disabled by Instagram themselves. The jerks!
I’ve read it before and said it myself. The webOS browser isn’t what it used to be. But what’s to blame? Is it old webOS browser programming? Outdated webkit? Slower processors?

Welcome to May, LuneOS fans! It’s been over 2 months since our last stable release, but don’t worry: We have been working extremely hard in bringing a lot of updates to the underlying system.
These kinds of upgrades on the lower level of our OS have significant impact and usually lead to some regressions as well. This was one of the reasons why we didn’t have a release last month and the release this month is a bit later than usual. We wanted to iron out some critical bugs first.
Check out what we’ve been up to and get to the builds!
The video below isn’t exactly new. In fact, it appeared in December 2011 on The Verge as part of a story on HP’s proposed rebranding concept.

The Verge has resurfaced the video and tells the tale of HP’s rebranding.
