How Mike Arrington can save the CrunchPad

,----[ Quote ]
| Let that software fly as GPL. TechCrunch 
| and FusionGarage can spend their time in 
| court and in the meantime the open source 
| and shanzhai community can try to polish it 
| up a bit.

Social OpenSim grids gain over 1,000 regions

,----[ Quote ]
| The largest social OpenSim-based grids have 
| gained over 1,000 regions since our last 
| count in early September, bringing the 
| total regions on these grids to over 6,500.
| 
| These are grids that allow anyone to 
| register for free. In addition, social 
| interaction is a significant aspect of the 
| gridâs activity.  In addition, many of the 
| social grids are now accessible from other 
| grids, via hypergrid teleport.

Time to open source the CrunchPad

,----[ Quote ]
| What many people seem to have missed in
| their coverage of the CrunchPadâs death is
| the fact that Michael Arrington has
| repeatedly said that he would âopen source
| the specsâ. Now Phillip Torrone from MAKE
| magazine is asking Arrington to do just
| that.

Picking through the CrunchPad rubble

,----[ Quote ]
| Phillip Torrone at Make, noting that
| Arrington has repeatedly described the
| project as open source, is challenging him
| to release what designs and code he has for
| the tinkering community at large to play
| with.

TechCrunch Tablet PC Shelved; Owners Dispute Rights

CrunchPad tablet is alive, well, and under $400 (with sponsorship)

,----[ Quote ]
| In this weekâs Gillmor Gang video, Arrington
| says that the CrunchPad is coming along and
| that it will sell for somewhere between $300
| and $400. He says it costs somewhere in the
| âupper $200sâ to build, and that heâs looking
| at ways to help keep costs down with
| sponsorship opportunities, sort of the way
| Firefox makes money for Mozilla through the
| search box with Google set as the default
| search engine. Hopefully Arrington is talking
| about similarly unobtrusive sponsorship.
