Posted by timothy on from the not-quite-capsela dept.

An anonymous reader writes to this short feature featuring "Andrew 'Bunnie' Huang on why he decided to build an open source laptop, how the slowing of Moore's Law is making it easier for individuals and small outfits to compete against major corporations in the computer hardware market and what hobbyist hardware makers in the U.S. could learn from China's Shanzhai, famed for their cheap clones of the iPhone and other popular handsets."

    Laptop shops
    And shaving stops
    Could yet save us all
    Until the day that
    Some bureaucrat
    Pours cologne on the stall.
