Star Open Source Design and the OpenOfficeMouse
Linked by Kroc Camen on Sun 8th Nov 2009 10:21 UTC
Hardware, Embedded Systems Is complexity (and wearing this on the outside) an inherit part of open source design? FactoryJoe compares the OpenOfficeMouse (a mouse with 18 programmable buttons and even an analogue joystick) and the Apple Magic Mouse-"To me, the OpenOfficeMouse seems like such a typical product from the open source community." [Kroc: I honestly believed the OpenOfficeMouse to be a very clever satirical joke, the irony that it isn't suspends belief]

Folks, it's a joke.


Thought so. The number of links to "#" on openofficemouse.com is a bit of a tip-off.
