The Tide Shifts at CES

,----[ Quote ]
| At every CES up to this one, I always felt that both open source and 
| user-in-charge were swimming upstream against a tide of 
| proprietary "solutions" and user lock-in strategies. I always had hope that 
| the tide would turn, but not much faith.   
| 
| This year I have faith. I can feel the tide shift here. And it's not just 
| with the likes of Intel. Lots of small things point toward increased user 
| autonomy, originality, invention and engagement. The story isn't just about 
| What Big Companies Are Doing For You any more. It's what you're doing for 
| yourself, and for whomever you like.

Maybe those GPL lawsuits will play a role as well?

2008 CES: Bug Labs Introduces BUG, BUGbase. So Cool!

,----[ Quote ]
| Bug Labs, a company I never heard of before, is releasing something very cool 
| for all the hardcore geeks out there. Is it a computer, a GPS device, or a 
| camera? What if I told you that it is all that and a whole lot more. BUG is a 
| modular computer system that will appeal to those who like to tinker around 
| with things. It is a GPL device that has modular components to enhance 
| functionality, and it is fully programmable.

Hunting Linux at CES

,----[ Quoet ]
| But some companies do bother to say that they use it. Many more than normal, 
| in fact. A search for Linux at the CES site yields 79 results, which is about 
| 4x the usual number.
