Why aren't we funding the production of free hardware?

Seriously, why aren't we?

We're all so fussed about free software that we ignore about the monopoly that huge companies (Intel/AMD/Apple/Motorola/Ralink/etc.) have over hardware we use.

Consumer mentality, I guess. Actually I made a Free Hardware project myself a few years ago and wasn't funded with even one dollar. Other "Free Hardware" Projects that have been scams (never delivered) or clealy liers about the "free" part have been funded left and right. People want to be part of the botnet, I guess.

Desing and production of hardware is expensive as hell. Software cost pennies to make in comparisson.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
