>I believe this should be regulated to create socially-owned factories to solve nation-wide necessities. Wow dude, I've got to say that's a poor take on things. We're just beginning to see the benefits of factories like this (I can design any chip board I want online, then have it sent to me in the mail). Factories have traditionally been single purpose, but that won't last. Soon factories will be designed to be more like platforms. I design something, then I sell it, then the factory builds it, then UPS ships it. With the best factory platforms I'll be able to run an international hardware business from anywhere in the world. It's gonna be freaking sweet (mostly because I'll buy a house for what I would pay 1 years rent in SF)!
