  • That means the promise of creating new physical devices as quickly as web apps are written is just around the corner.
  • Unlike with open source software, the business model is fairly simple for open source hardware -- publish the diagrams and documentation, sell the parts in kits at a mark-up and let tinkerers assemble the final product.

    • Holman, a professional inventor, helped build Hackerbot, a robot that sniffs passwords over WiFi and then rolls over to the insecure user and shows them the intercepted password. He also runs Hackerbot Lab, a warehouse in Seattle filled with tools that tinkerers can use for various projects. This week at O'Reilly's Emerging Technology Conference, Holman plans to expand attendees' notions of what is possible when hackers turn to hardware with his session titled "Hackers Built My Motorcycle."
