Intel will "dump" some cheap $0.01 appliances on the government until the
competition dies from hunger. It turns out that it's similar to the analogy
or wording used by Nick. The guy dedicates years of his life to helping
billions of children (potentially). Will Intel sell a billion laptops and
devour a loss of $200 on each?
This one will become a classic example of monopoly abuse.
