Recently, I read an article about some companies are willing to post their circuit board design online. For people who has those knowledge to modify the design of the original protocol. That is a bold move for those companies who wants innovation, and develop better progress on Computing desing.

On web, I only heard of the open source for software programming. Those are for public modifications. Whoever has write a better program code for certain software, we will adopt it. Such software coding process is widely used on linux, or utility softwares, etc…… That is a better development for people who do not have enough of “gold” for investment. But, they still made known to the world wide web with their coding skills, and their design.

Now, the same concept is applied on these circuit board for better processing. As part of computer component, people can use these advantage to study, and learn for the original protocol. That might be interesting for people who major in engineering, or others hobbies. Companies won’t gain much money from this idea, but they might have their reputation to be known. People who has better designing, might also be known to the world wide web communities too.

That is a good idea somehow, in contradictory to HP, and Sony, they have sealed information to be revealed.
