acorn.co.uk domain finds another owner By Chris Williams. Published: 9th Aug 2004, 21:15:19.Mirror on the wall, who is the new hostmaster after all? The acorn.co.uk domain name has changed hands once again, according to ANS which covered the news yesterday.
The domain, once owned by element-14 - the company that emerged from the breakup of Acorn and later snapped up by Broadcom, now belongs to Tom McFarlane of letsdomainit.co.uk. The domain was registered on the 19th July 2004. The new owners haven't as yet replied to our emails, so we don't know what plans (if any) letsdomainit.co.uk have for the once online home of Acorn Group. We're equally not entirely sure what anyone could realistically achieve with acorn.co.uk and RISC OS, apart from bringing back school day memories of BBC and A440 networks to the long moved on public, but the nut loving quarter could probably come up with something. The domain is next up for renewal in 2006, along with the similarly vacant acorn.com. Meanwhile, there's still valiant efforts like acorncomputers.co.uk to tempt the weary google searcher.

Featured articles The weekend's RISC OS event has been and gone and we've got the rest of our lives to look forward to. Here's a round-up of extra news and Drobe's show-related coverage and some photos taken from Wakefield 2009 - plus a video from the show floor. 16 comments, latest by AW on 29/4/09 7:41PM. Published: 27 Apr 2009Picture exclusive - This grainy photograph shows a port of RISC OS 5, sourced from the RISC OS Open project, running on a Beagleboard - a device powered by a 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with a built-in graphics chip. The port, developed by Jeffrey Lee with help from Uwe Kall and ROOL staff, is seen as a major breakthrough for the shared-source project as it proves the OS can be ported to new hardware without the need for a large team of engineers. 75 comments, latest by rjek on 30/4/09 3:15PM.
