I'd like to point out that Ars Technica, Gizmodo and Tech Republic also reported on Intel's Compute Card with no mention of other similar projects...

I was originally going to suggest that maybe Intel independently came up with the same idea, but then I saw just how eerily-similar the promotional images and pitches were to EOMA68 and now I can tell its clearly copying us...
jaezuss, you could even say that they'd been reading the crowdsupply page and the whitepaper i wrote, and literally copying some of it. the gizmodo article in particular, they're "excited that you can take your computer home with you instead of a 2lb device".
*sigh*... :)

just got this from a friend:
I sent a 'correction' to the BBC about it. Probably wouldn't hurt if other people pointed out that Intel is not the first to market with modular computing and that a crowd funded 'open source' project beat them to it. EOMA68 already exists and the very first prototype devices have been produced for desktop and laptop housings. Unlike Intel's solution this one is completely open for anybody to adopt. The video got it wrong in saying it won't be seen in desktops/laptops any time soon given that they very first housing prototypes were a laptop and desktop.

Pretty hilarious how much of a direct clone that Intel card is. Imitation is the sincerest flattery I guess?
in a word... yeah :)
