    Solu Concepts
    https://solumachines.wordpress.com/2015/11/05/solu-concepts/

    The Solu system is, in certain aspects, different from the computer systems and interfaces we’re currently using. The system’s graphical user interface certainly makes that evident, but there are differences underneath the surface as well. This is a brief overview of some of the core concepts behind Solu.

    One of the fundamental principles that has guided our design — both in terms of visuals and user interaction, but also the design of our codebase — is our understanding of context as an important part of how we interact with our tools, our websites, each other.

    End of this story:

    Finnish IT firm went bankrupt – promised to revolutionize computers

    The District Court on Monday sentenced the Finnish bank Solu Machines Oy into bankruptcy. In its application last week, the company announced its insolvency.

    Established in 2014, Solu Machines developed a revolutionary Solu computer that was expected to be large. The company announced “Spotify for PCs” in San Francisco in 2015 and attracted international attention at that time.

    In an interview with Tivi Magazine , CEO Kristoffer Lawson said in a statement that the company plans to go directly to Apple, Microsoft and Google. “Our approach is completely different,” he said.

    In practice, the user had to get a storage space of about 19 euros per month for the cloud and all applications. The device itself was small, just palm sized. The company applied for money successfully with bulk funding for Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
