3-D Printers Make Manufacturing Accessible
,----[ Quote ]
| 3-D printers can take blobs of plastic and shape them into almost any object
| you desire. Now, thanks to open source hardware designs and enthusiastic
| do-it-yourselfers, these printers are increasingly popular and accessible.
| People are using them to fabricate iPod docks, plastic bracelets, hair clips
| and miniature teapots at home.

Do we need an open hardware license?
,----[ Quote ]
| Still, Hicks says that it's possible to use open source hardware designs with
| field-programmable gate arrays, "which are quite affordable," and points to
| OpenSPARC and the OPENCORES community of open hardware designers as examples
| of real-world usage of open hardware. Â
|
| Phipps says that he sees open hardware following in the footsteps of FOSS,
| though he says mainstreaming of open hardware "will take much longer ... to
| get a foothold." Â

Boot Linux Faster With An Open BIOS
,----[ Quote
| Another interesting approach involves using Linux itself to initialize the
| hardware. The LinuxBIOS takes the approach of loading a small Linux kernel
| directly into the boot ROM. This approach is increasingly practical now that
| boards have 1-2MB of flash ROM onboard, according to Seebach. Â
