I just came across the Silicon "book" preorder by arenamag, and it's a disgrace.

All the die shots are just printed public domain pictures, taken from Wikimedia, Flickr and probably more. Of course, no picture source mentioned.

It's not plagiarism, but it sure as hell is bottom feeding. Be smarter with your money and buy real books like Open Circuits.

And if you don't have money to spare, go enjoy all the nice photography on siliconpr0n, Flickr, Wikimedia but also good articles about technology history such as cpushack's posts about obscure technology.

Edit: removed the link, they don't need or deserve any publicity

@jenesuispersonne quand je disais que je tombe sur des lots improbables 😁

Je regarde leboncoin en sirotant un café, je tombe sur une annonce de quelqu'un qui vide des caves et donne tout. C'est juste à côté du boulot donc j'y vais le soir.

4h plus tard... Tadaaa
