We just bought the domain, weboscenter.com and set it up to redirect to this article. webOS Center was a fairly popular blog, but new posts stopped back in 2012 except for a blip in 2014 when the first webOS TVs were released by LG. If you got here via an old bookmark or are just curious, you can see the original site on the internet archive by clicking here.

The Verge has the story today on the similarities between HP/Palm and Lenovo/Motorola. Feel free to cringe along with me and read their story.

RIP Motorola (soon)
