Everyone's mentioning hardware. I was also
wondering about software. The
"buy a bunch of components and slap them together" approach is gaining in
popularity these days, but I assume it's happened for a long time? There's
also the "hire a (consultant, young intern, gang of students) to write the
code" approach. I'm sure that happens a LOT.
I was wondering when someone might start down this path. There are also a
lot of 'contract houses' out there who are paid quite well to not be
known, that write the software for a number of the big names in the
business.
One of the more prolific that I am aware of (having worked there for a
while) was (is?) 'Control-C SOftware'. (Andrew Johnson-Laird and
associates)
