Bunnie Huang on China's "Shanzai" Mash-Up Design Shops
saccade.com writes "Bunnie (of XBox hacking and Chumby fame) has written an
insightful post about how a new phenomena emerging out of China called
'Shanzai' has
impacted the electronics business there.
A new class of innovators, they're
going beyond merely copying western designs to producing electronic "mash-ups" to create new products. Bootstrapped on small amounts of capital, they range from
shops of just a few people to a few hundred. They rapidly create new products, and use
an "open source" style design community where design ideas and component lists are shared."

Once we achieve a truly global economy, then whom will the Chinese exploit or outsource their own jobs to? (They are already in parts of Africa...)

In some ways this is already the case. Think about your own job. Consider how it compares in those categories.

Ummm... open sourcing, at least, is anything but capitalistic: it's socialism at work. Some of those governmental encumbrances you mention are also trying to achieve socialistic goals. Apparently that's why you despise or fear them.
It's entertaining to watch the same mind try to embrace both open source and capitalism; the cognitive dissonance that results is like watching a daytime soap or a reality show.
yea socialism mostly just means things like: public health care, welfare system, governmental Philanthropy in the arts and cultural affairs etc. many Americans had an irrational fear of it until Obama mentioned "change", it must have have been a keyword to snap them out of the commie hating hypnotism that Reaganomics put them under. what GP was talking about was Statism, which is kind of more like Microsoft or maybe apple than anyone (Microsoft are Nazis and apple are Stalinists).
