Obwohl mir bestimmte Tendenzen gewisser Unternehmen hin zu geschlossenen Systemen nicht wirklich gefallen, bin ich wohl nicht dogmatisch genug, mich wahnsinnig darüber aufzuregen. Schließlich ist es ja nicht so, dass man nicht die Wahl hätte. Aber so ein bisschen
Themroc ab und zu ist bestimmt nicht verkehrt:
"Whenever a new hand held device, or new exciting smartphone hits the market, a questions roars through the internets, tech blogs and news: Is this the iPhone killer? The answer is always...well...not quite, not yet.... So I was thinking, maybe these guys who make these devices are not looking at the right place for that iPhone killer. Why don’t I scratch that dream product itch, and transform this buzzword into a real product [...] I’d like to introduce you to the iPhonekiller ...It is an open design, you can download it from my website, produce and use it. It is 1.6 Kg , 25mm [...] of precision laser cut steel, with a fantastic 36 cm wood ax handle. You can just feel the awesome power of it when you hold it in your hand [...] The iPhonekiller is a statement about current tech products and personalities status, worshiped by the media and public, along with my possibilities to react and criticize that in a humorous way, with an Open Design."
