First Prototype of Open Source TechCrunch Tablet

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the lawsuit-waiting-to-happen dept.

holy_calamity writes "Big mouth tech blogger Mike Arrington decided earlier this year to 'teach gadget-makers a lesson' and make his own portable, touch screen web tablet. The first, very rough, prototype is complete. Despite the claims it would be fully open source — even the hardware — there's no sign of a project site or any other openness yet."

    I know this is hardly a journalism site. And let's face it the MSM does the same thing the Author of this piece does. Crap like "Big mouth tech blogger Mike Arrington" isn't proper journalism, it's insulting. The opinion of the writer should never go in the story.

    Yeah, I've given up on the networks already.

      Exactly. I GPL almost all of my projects, but not my *prototypes*. It's a shame that this "opinion" got to the front page.
