WikiHouse. Il gigante svizzero del caffè battuto dal nano piemontese. Come il Davide italiano ti frega il Golia elvetico. Potrebbe essere raccontato così l'esito della battaglia legale tra la Vergnano, la più antica azienda italiana produttrice di caffè, e la multinazionale Nestlè, che grazie all'invenzione delle macchine Nespresso e delle relative capsule, è riuscita nel corso degli anni, a guadagnarsi un posto al sole in questo segmento di mercato, mettendo un po' in ombra uno dei primati italiani: quello che ci vede non solo grandi consumatori di caffeina, ma anche produttori di caffettiere, apparecchiature e tutto ciò che ruota attorno al rito della tazzina. Adesso, la rivincita per l'Italia arriva da Torino, dove il tribunale ha decretato la vittoria del Davide piemontese. Per anni, tra la Nestlè e la Vergnano si è trascinata la guerra dell'espresso, combattuta a suon di cause, sentenze e sgambetti, in nome della compatibilità delle capsule.

Full address: Posted by Henrique Monnerat on June 11th, 2009 Modularity Sketch - 11th of June, 2009 One of the strongest concepts that are coming up from the discussion of the first phase of this project is modularity .
“In an electric vehicle, modularity can also help owners, to upgrade their vehicles once new technologies come to the market, Want a more powerful motor? The Idea of a plug and play electric vehicle that can be highly customized by a community of designers and suppliers seems quite interesting to me.

I am very glad that it worked out! Emoped-20090526-Electonics Test 01 from Henrique Monnerat on Vimeo . Link to video. Arduino. Google announces Android Open Accessory standard, Arduino-based ADK.
Open Capitalist | Open Capitalist. One of the goals of Open Capitalist is decentralized development and open collaboration. The software that streamlines this is not available and something that we would like to spend resources developing. We need this now so this is a quick note of the available tools we are utilizing. WordPress. Currently I don’t want to expend energy developing the website. Wordpress has been a joy to use compared to the first version of the site which I coded directly in PHP. Version 2 of the Open Capitalist website was done in Drupal. Very powerful but I ended up coding most of that in PHP as well. Github. Soundcloud. GoogleDocs. Open Capitalist Collaborative Engine. Open Source Creativity – Hackerspaces. Open hardware: How and why it works. What is open hardware? Open source software is one of the biggest success stories in technology and business of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The open software movement was founded by Dennis Allison in his release of Tiny BASIC in 1975 with the seminal quote, "Let us stand on each other's shoulders, not each other's toes. " Jim Warren, editor-in-chief of Dr. Dobb's Journal, further codified the concept in July 1976, with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Programming Language: "When software is either free or so inexpensive it's easier to pay for it than to duplicate it, then it won't be stolen.
" Nine years later, in 1985, Dr. Dobb's Journal published Richard Stallman's original GNU Manifesto, a call to action for free software. Now the success of open source software is creating a new movement: open hardware. Open hardware is open in the same sense as open software — the "free as in speech" concept Stallman discussed in his GNU Manifesto. Back to top Open hardware projects Law. Open Source Hardware Licenses. Many people (including myself) have not waited around for a specialized license to go around making open hardware.
Common 'subtitutions' are GPL, Creative Commons, MIT, BSD and similar open licenses. While these licenses are often pretty good at stuff like firmware, or CAD drawings, they don't take into account some of the differences with hardware, particularly patents and derivative works. Here are some licenses that have been spotted 'in the wild' .
I can't really endorse any of them, as they are all still very new (as of summer 2007) and are likely to morph as people poke at them One point I want to make is that for a project to be considered Open Source there cannot be any restrictions placed on that project. GPL/BSD/MIT do not have these restrictions and OSI is very strict about it. If you want to keep control over your project, feel free to use a restrictive license, but don't call it open source! Companies are often valued by their assets. Open Source Hardware - Introduction.
