    Hacksters at PreCentral have found some shell script that points to future Palm phones called “castle” and “pixie.” We well know that the Pixie will be the EOS and the Castle is the codename for the Pre.

    # Start novacomd service
    if [[ "$hostName" == "castle" ]];then
    modprobe g_composite product=0×8002
    elif [[ "$hostName" == "pixie" ]];then
    modprobe g_composite product=0×8012
    else
    modprobe -q g_composite
    fi

    Huge deal? Absolutely not. But it’s fun to know bash scripting, ain’t it?
