Creation
In 2004, the Common Building Block program promoted the use of industry-accepted mechanical and electrical specifications for three notebook components, or 'ingredients': 14.1-inch, 15-inch, and 15.4-inch liquid crystal displays (LCDs); 9.5mm and 12.7mm optical disk drives (ODDs); and 2.5-inch hard disk drives (HDDs). The program consists of:
- A Web site to provide a centralized repository of information about the program, participants, and platform and ingredient specifications
- A continually updated list of CBB-compliant ingredients (submitted by suppliers)
- A testing and verification service for candidate products
The repository site mobileformfactors.org was established to standardize components, currently including:
- Hard disk drives
- Optical disk drives
- Liquid crystal display panels
- Battery packs
- AC/DC power adapters
- Keyboards
- Customizable notebook panels

Famous quotes containing the word creation:
“The creation of a world view is the work of a generation rather than of an individual, but we each of us, for better or for worse, add our brick to the edifice.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.”
