OpenIP Open Intellectual Property
OpenIP is the open sharing of information so that software can be written , products can designed and built. It is not a new paradigm... but is has a new visibility in the brave new world of the Internet. This includes ..... ( and is not limited to )

Stuff may be shared under various licenses to encourage further sharing or the stuff may be simply Public Domain. I apologize for the many sources of OpenIP I have missed.
What it is not ....
== Some of the software libraries are open source and the rest of the code is secret.
== Licensed patents
== Future promises to share important data
== items that are copyrighted
== Lots of hype that conceals a hidden agenda of stingy sharing
== Software where one version is free to the public
To: Companies , Organizations and Individuals ..
Tell the truth
If you are dedicated to proprietary methods and data... that is fine... please be *open* about your stance. Marketing hype that pretends to openess or customer service or valuing employees .... and does not ==> that really sucks Hidden charges ==> sucks
OpenIP Projects
( I do not warrant these are actually *open*. I often am fooled by slick palaver. )
OpenSCAD
bitseed meshbox
Open Office
Project Libre
Projects that are pretending to be *Open*
Project Ara by Google this project is sharing a lot of really great technology information...... but Google is trying to hold back key stuff in order to assert control.

NEXT Problem 2014m03d15
Now Walmart and I are hassling over a warranty issue ( 2 versus 3 years )
Here is the text of my online review.....
I was told when I purchased the 2 year coverage that it began when the manufacturer's coverage ended. The manufacturer warrants 1 year so I expected year 2 and 3 to be covered by Walmart. Now I am being told this is not true. Worse yet is that Walmart is not responding to my emails. I will have to trudge into Walmart and waste more time.

I sent the following message to Walmart and have not received an acknowledgement.
#1 I never choose to use the phone and wait on hold forever ... or get transferred many times. I always want to use an online option ... that is easy to find , knows who I am ( I have a logon account that I used ).
#2 Why doesn't *this* feedback form use my account information ?
#3 If I go to Customer Service at a store, I want them to use my online account to sort out problems , issue refunds , reorder stuff. Customer Service is too slow. Some of it can be done while I am waiting in line using WiFi.
#4 It would be great to set up my visit to *online pickup* ahead of time so that I can just go to customer service and grab my item. *Online Pickup* is often a "ghost town" .... nobody there.

I have not received any response from Walmart other than promotional emails suggesting I spend more money at Walmart.. Truly parts of their customer service are simply awful.
I bought a hard drive from Walmart and they promised free shipping via Fedex. Then I learned that the last leg of the delivery was via USPS. As you know may know, USPS is not the brightest light bulb in town. My package disappeared into limbo for several days and then luckily re-emerged at my door. I used to love the idea of buying online from Walmart. But I have not been pleased the last few times.
