BUG is modular, component-based system that let's you build your own gadget by literally just snapping things together.  For example you could build a wireless, motion sensing security device, that sends you SMS messages if motion is detected, in less than 5 minutes.  If you also wanted a picture of the intruder you could just snap in the camera module.  You could build a fully-programmable, geotagging digital imager in the same amount of time.  The picture above is of our latest BUGbase which is the battery-powered, Linux-based CPU module with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth (other modules plug into this base).  Everything about the system is open source, so you're also free to modify the entire thing to get exactly what you want.  The point is, the BUG system puts the user in control of the hardware experience.  Most of the gadgets on the market today are exactly like the Ford Model-T - you can have whatever color you want, as long as it's black.  You get what you get when you buy the device.  It's why there is such a vibrant community for jail-broken iPhones .  BUG turns that model upside down and puts the user in the driver seat.  Hope this helps!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Semmelhack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 12:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BUGbase WiFi finally overcomes, ships in the US and Europe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[what the hell is this thing i cannot for the life of me figure that out if i could the story may interest me a little more]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tyler pedigo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2009 12:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BUGbase WiFi finally overcomes, ships in the US and Europe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is the second time I've read some sort of article on here about a "BUGbase" and I still have no idea what the hell this thing is or what it does, a little help please engadget?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Will J]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2009 12:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BUGbase WiFi finally overcomes, ships in the US and Europe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just posted a hopefully-helpful post above.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Semmelhack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 12:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BUGbase WiFi finally overcomes, ships in the US and Europe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[Maybe this will help to explain <br><a href="http://www.buglabs.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.buglabs.net/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lessthantito]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2009 1:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BUGbase WiFi finally overcomes, ships in the US and Europe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[Or perhaps this:<br><br><a href="http://www.google.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2009 2:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BUGbase WiFi finally overcomes, ships in the US and Europe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[same here what is this?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jose]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2009 2:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BUGbase WiFi finally overcomes, ships in the US and Europe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[and I thought I was the only one....<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flintstone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2009 3:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BUGbase WiFi finally overcomes, ships in the US and Europe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/bugbase-wifi-finally-overcomes-becomes-available-in-the-us-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have no idea what this is either, a quick explanation what it actually does would have been nice.
