Quote for the day:

"The government is not trying to destroy Microsoft, it's simply seeking to
compel Microsoft to obey the law. It's quite revealing that Mr. Gates equates
the two."

Hands-on with the OLPC XO laptop -- and loving it

| If you're considering plunking down the $400.00 to Get 1 and Give 1, the best 
| advice I can offer you is simply to paraphrase President Kennedy: ask not 
| what the OLPC can do for you, ask what you can do for the OLPC. The promotion  
| has already been extended once, and it ends December 31, 2007.

My Very Own OLPC XO Laptop

,----[ Quote ]
| I noticed in the article that OLPC News is used to attack OLPC. So I went to 
| Google and while they pretend to be linked in some way in Google's ads, they 
| are not, which is likely why they had to change their name. They should 
| change it again. It's misleading. They are an anti-OLPC site, in my eyes, 
| since they always manage to say something negative. So don't be fooled.

Intel: doing the dirty on OLPC

,----[ Quote ] 
| Intel’s agreement with the OLPC Foundation included a ‘non disparagement’ 
| clause, under which Intel and One Laptop promised not to criticize each 
| other, according to Nicholas Negroponte in the latest article in the Wall 
| Street Journal.   
| 
| Still Intel tactics have violated that repeatedly to kill OLPC efforts in 
| Nigeria, Libya, Pakistan, India, China and Intel is also still trying to pull 
| those tactics in Mexico, Brazil.  
| This is simply disgracefull of Intel, scandalous.
| 
| But Negroponte has signed an agreement saying that he is not allowed to 
| criticize Intel, so he is not allowed to talk about these shameless tactics 
| even though Intel is the one violating the agreement.  
| 
| So only independant voices on the Internet can get those messages of truth 
| out about Intels tactics. 
| 
| In Nigeria, Intel came and donated 3000 laptops to counter OLPC efforts, then 
| sells 17 thousand Classmates to Nigeria at a loss. 
| 
| Then Microsoft corrupted Nigerian officials with 400 thousand dollars to 
| install Windows XP on those instead of Mandriva Linux.
