Open Source Hardware Hackers Start P2P Bank

,----[ Quote ]
| Getting a business loan in this economy can be more difficult than landing a 
| reservation at French Laundry in Napa, California. Now try selling the loan 
| officer on an open source hardware project where the blueprints will be given 
| away.   
| 
| That's why the hardware hacking community is turning inwards to fund its 
| ideas. Two open source hardware enthusiasts, Justin Huynh and Matt Stack, 
| have started the Open Source Hardware Bank to fund hardware projects such as 
| the microcontroller board pictured above.

The Acceptable Face of P2P

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite attempts to demonise P2P, the technology is thriving. And no wonder:
| it's such an efficient way of sharing bits. Good, then, to see
| some "official" development of the idea in the form of P2P-Next - funded in
| part by the EU - to apply P2P to live video streaming.

£11m P2P stream project starts public trial

,----[ Quote ]
| Speaking about the project in February, George Wright, from BBC rapid
| development unit, said: "We're aiming to build Mac, Windows and GNU/Linux
| clients, as well as a dedicated hardware set top box client, to allow us to
| deliver the core technical goals: an open standards-based 'next-generation'
| internet television distribution system, using P2P and social interaction."
