Startup Q&A Site Sprouter to Shut Its Doors
Jul 26th
We’ve covered Sprouter several times here at ReadWriteStart, recommending the Toronto-based startup as a great resource for entrepreneurs – as both a professional social network and, more recently, as a Q&A site. So it’s sad to hear the news today that Sprouter will be closing its doors.
According to the Sprouter blog, the site will close on August 2 due to what founder Sarah Prevette describes as “capital constraints.” Although the site has had significant uptake and has become an important destination and community for entrepreneurs, Prevette says “we’ve simply run out of options.”

As with any thoughtful group of people who work on a startup project that doesn’t succeed, members of the Sprouter team have offered their own thoughts and analyses about the “lessons learned.” Community manager Erin Bury has written hers here, and it’s a great insight into the hustle that goes into making any startup – whether financially viable or not – succeed.
Bury was the author of Sprouter Weekly, the site’s weekly newsletter, something that the final blog post notes was “a success in its own right.” There are hints in that blog post that Sprouter Weekly may be able to continue, but Bury, for her part, is off for a little R&R. My bet is it won’t cure her of the startup bug and we’ll see more of the entire Sprouter team in the future. I sure hope so.

Wikileaks Competitor OpenLeaks Opens Doors
Jan 27th
In September, a number of Wikileaks‘ partners quit that organization, complaining that its leader, Julian Assange, was too tyrannical and careless. In November, they announced they were creating a competing leaks service, called OpenLeaks. In December, it was supposed to go live. Now, in January, it has.
Yesterday, Cryptome released a leaked PDF of the OpenLeaks content. OpenLeaks announced that not all the areas of content and functionality in that document are good to go yet.

OpenLeaks 101 from openleaks on Vimeo.
Our presumption of how OpenLeaks would likely work seems to be in fact how it’s designed. Whistle-blowers will upload leaked documents and send them to particular recipients, such as newspapers, news channels, radio stations, non profit organizations, labor unions, governmental oversight groups and others.
OpenLeaks itself, unlike Wikileaks, will not publish the leaked documents on its site. By-passing the editorial function is intended to keep the organization unencumbered political considerations.
On its FAQ, the involved persons make certain to distance themselves from their former home at Wikileaks, while staying polite:
“A number of us were previously involved with WikiLeaks. None of us has any remaining association with WikiLeaks, and all of us had left by the end of September 2010 (despite other claims). While we fully support the stated goals of WikiLeaks, and wish them success, OpenLeaks is an independent project.”
OpenLeaks says that its current incarnation is merely an alpha, with beta beginning “early in 2011.’ Those interested in being part of the “OpenLeaks community” will be allowed to apply for inclusion in the coming months.

Google TV Jailbreak Opens the Doors to Developers, Hulu
Jan 10th
At the end of November, Android developer Howard Harte announced that he would give $1,000 to the first person who could jailbreak the Google TV. Just over a month later, the $1,000 has been collected and Harte says he is now “having a lot of fun” coding on his hacked unit…and likely watching some free Hulu.
A group of developers called the GTVHacker dev team cracked the code on January 5, opening up the Google TV platform to brave, screwdriver-wielding developers everywhere. (Video proof inside.)

“What this means is that we now have a complete Android development environment for the Google TV,” explained Harte in an email. “I am able to use standard Android development tools to develop for GTV, just like developing for any other Android device.”
Don’t expect this hack to be widely adopted by Hulu-loving GTV fans everywhere, however. Jailbreaking the Logitech Revue unit involves opening up the box, soldiering some wires onto the circuit board, and then going through a relatively lengthy software hack.
“The most important thing for developers though is that they now have full access to developing for the platform well in advance of Google releasing the tools,” wrote Harte. “Now, it should be possible for Rovio to port Angry Birds [...] to the Google TV.”
The GTVHacker dev team recorded a video of its jailbroken Logitech Revue unit, showing off “bypassed content block and custom application install.” Take a look at Hulu on Google TV and more:
What, if not free Hulu, does a jailbroken Google TV mean, then? First off, it’s likely that someone will come up with a software-only jailbreak at some point in the future. Beyond that, however, giving root access to daring developers means that, when Google finally opens its Google TV marketplace, developers will have had a head start figuring out the ins and outs of the system. We’re curious to see where Google TV could go with the innovation of the developer community.
For those of you interested in all the geeky details, here’s Harte’s explanation:
The GTVHacker dev team consists of five members, and was started by Zenofex, who was able to connect a terminal to the Revue’s UART1 serial port. This involved opening the Revue and soldering three wires, so it qualifies as a hardware hack. After connecting the serial terminal to UART1, Zenofex found a root shell running in Recovery Mode. With that, he had root access, but no way to install apps.
Zenofex enlisted the help of four other software hackers to assmble a toolchain for compiling the necessary tools to add “ADB” support to the Revue. Adding ADB, which is the Android Debug Bridge, allowed installing apps with standard adb commands over the network interface (either Ethernet or WLAN.)
With that complete, Apps that were written in Java would run fine on the Revue, and they had “Astro File Manager” running in short order. At this point, Zenofex contacted me to get a copy of my “Better Terminal Emulator Pro” app, which was required to be shown running on the Revue in a YouTube video under the terms of the “Root Bounty” offering.
It turned out that Better Terminal Emulator Pro, which relies heavily on Native (CPU-specific) code did not run on the Revue. What was needed was Google’s Android Native Development Kit (NDK) for Google TV. Since that was not officially available, one clever GTVHacker member was able to combine the NDK from the Android-x86.org project with Intel’s toolchain to produce a working NDK for the GTV. With this done, they recompiled the native shared library used by Better Terminal Emulator Pro for the GTV, and BTEP installed fine on the Revue and works.
