Answered my own question. Its Legos for rich geeks.

Too bad I lack the rich part. :'(]]>Feb 17th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/
I was gonna say the same thing.]]>Feb 17th 2010 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/From their site:

"BUG gives you all the tools you need to build your dream gadget -- a collection of electronic modules you can easily snap together and program to make any device you want. Best of all, it's open source."]]>Feb 17th 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/Feb 17th 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/
It's open source hardware you can combine with your own hand written open source software to make.. well.. whatever you want!

Exactly. Very poor journalism. ]]>Feb 17th 2010 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/
Your reaction is valid. This modular linux computer, is nothing and every thing at the same time. it can be assembled &/or disassembled at the software and hardware level to be re-purposed into anything!!!!!! the imagination is your only limitation.

This concept is hard for us to wrap our minds around. it perplexed me for the longest. But once you realize the potential it becomes extremely desirable if your the tinkering puzzle loving(raised on legos kinda guy).

i myself see my self buying A bug, i am a biology major but my passion for computers and technology are burning hottter than ever. I want to understand electronics on the fundamental level and work my way to the cutting edge.

PS: its completely Open source, (even the hardware) bugbase provides you with the means to create your own modules. Crazy huh!?!?

The joy of engineering is what makes these devices stand apart in the age of crippled hardware and software.]]>Feb 17th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/Feb 17th 2010 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/Feb 17th 2010 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/Feb 17th 2010 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/
Picture something like this driving a single or double-DIN display and running Android. Out of the BOX you already have just about everything you need -- IIRC there are Android FM radio applications, there is the "car home" application, the Google navigation system, provisions for media playback, Bluetooth... I can't help but wonder why this hasn't already been done yet.]]>Feb 17th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/Feb 17th 2010 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/Feb 18th 2010 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/bug-labs-bugbase-2-0-prototype-hands-on/Feb 19th 2010 4:23PM
