On the tenth day of webOS-mas,
My true love gave to me,
Ten Tweaks enabled,
Nine OS doctors,
Eight Macaws tweeting,
Seven Spiders Feeding,
Six T’s to reset,
Internalz Pro!
Four WiFi Shares,
Three Touchstone Chargers,
Two printing methods,
And webOS quick install.
If you look in your Preware catalogue, you’ll see a section for patches – small pieces of software that modify parts of the webOS system and it’s stock apps. But what if you can’t find a patch that makes a particular change you’d like? What you need is a patch that is tweaks enabled. Now you can open your tweaks app and adjust settings for the patched behaviour that suit you, bringing greater flexibilty and customisation to the user experience.
In a reveal that harkens back to Derek Kessler’s review of The Windsornot, The Verge got a hold of the mother-load of webOS device pictures and software screenshots of what could have been for our favorite OS. None of which came to fruition, unfortunately. Among the damage are a couple phones, a tablet or three, and a concept device that would have beaten Microsoft to the “Surface” punch. For the webOS-devoted, there’s nothing fun about this read.

OK, it depends how you count… There may not be exactly nine, but there are a number of webOS doctors available, depending on your device and carrier. What is a webOS doctor? When all seems lost and your device appears to have all the utility of a brick, you can plug it into a computer and run the webOS doctor to reinstall webOS. Here is the WebOS-Internals guide.
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) opens in a few days in Las Vegas, USA. We are hoping it will bring big news from LG as they debut their new webOS powered smart television. Naturally, pivotCE will be… watching it on the internet. As a purely volunteer staffed publication, we lack the resources to actually attend, but we will be putting in the effort to make sense of the news that comes out for you, our dear readers.
So, here is some breaking news for you! Former senior editor of engadget, Evan Nelson Blass is also known on Twitter as @evleaks and is known for often being first with images and information about new tech gadgets. Continue reading A preview picture of the LG webOS TV→
Since 2013 is over, we would like to end using the twentythirteen WordPress theme.
As you may have already noticed, we started using a customized version of a theme called twentyfourteen (a coincidence?). We think it’s much more suitable for a news site with the amount of news we write at the moment.
Look at the gorgeous slider on our homepage which you can control with a swipe of your finger (at least if you have a device with a touchscreen), a click of your mouse, or a tap of the left or right arrow keys on your keyboard!
Please bear with us as we are fixing the last color and widget issues. We appreciate all feedback in the comments or via mail!
