[News] Linux Laptop 'Kills' Personal Internet Communicator

AMD pulls plug on Personal Internet Communicator

,----[ Quote ]
| The death of PIC can almost certainly be attributed to the momentum
| of the much-hyped One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) program, which has
| announced that its first product will cost only $140 per unit.
| Executives at AMD aren't shaking their fists at the OLPC, 
| however. The Linux-based laptop is a remarkable achievement
| in low-cost design, and it just so happens to incorporate AMD 
| technology.

A long time ago Gates said that software would exceed the cost of hardware.
Another wrong prediction. 0 times <anything> equals zero. Services (e.g.
ads, support), tailoring, architecturing and sponsorships are the way to go.
