A business model for open source hardware

"The price of a typical gadget reflects two factors: the cost of making it and the price its inventor is charging for the intellectual property in it. Often the second can be many times the first (as in the case of an Intel processor chip, for example, which costs just a few dollars to make but can sell for hundreds of dollars)."

Chris Anderson, author of Free: The Future of a Radical Price which you can download free from Itunes or read on Google books.

About

This blog is dedicated to collecting information about software and hardware that I find interesting, fun and useful as a physician/geek.

I've tacked on a Projects page where I journal my ongoing geeky medical projects.

Many thanks to Wordpress for the wonderful blogging engine! I have worked with Joomla for a number of years but found it overkill for my purpose. This blog took literally minutes to set up!

And thanks to Andrei Luca for his cool LightWord theme. It rocks. I know I am not the only one loving it - as of today it has been downloaded more than 80 000 times!

Have fun!
