Reflections on Open Source Commerce, Part 2
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux-based business-critical servers have found a stable home in the data
| center and in infrastructure computing applications in organizations of all
| types. The low-hanging fruit has been harvested; most Linux servers have been
| installed to handle workloads that traditionally would have run Unix-based
| operating systems. This application area is rapidly maturing. The major
| opportunity for ongoing growth is in developing countries.

[OLPC XO] Original UI , Unique Operation [Part 2]

| In fact, the Sugar does not have a concept of files. As the PC is based on
| Linux, data are virtually located in files, of course. Nevertheless, the
| Sugar is basically designed to store every operation result as a "Journal."
|
| In addition, we need to download screen data to edit such an article. The
| Sugar automatically downloads the whole screen if both Alt and "1" keys are
| pressed. The XO also automatically recognizes a USB memory device if it is
| inserted. Using these capabilities, we took out and used screen data for
| article editing.

First Look: OLPC's XO Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| Again, to compare the OLPC to today's notebook is missing the point of the
| XO. It's intended as a sturdy, self-contained introduction to technology (and
| to the Web) for children in developing nations. They haven't played with
| Nintendo Wiis or an Apple Macintosh, much less a Windows or Linux system.
| Without the OLPC effort, they may not have a laptop at all--and this one at
| least provides a durable start.

| For a regular laptop, this would be the paragraph about its problems, its
| deficiencies. But the thing is, there aren’t any problems with this computer!
| Congratulations, OLPC. You’ve done it. Or will you come out with yet better
| laptops? Is that even possible? We’ll have to see...
