Sugar Learning Platform Will Succeed In Virgin Markets
,----[ Quote ]
| I think is time that Sugar Labs and Sugar
| developers to realize that the success or
| failure of Sugar does not depend on its
| ability to play YouTube videos. Not because
| is not important but because there is very
| little chance to penetrate this market
| dominated by Microsoft and Apple.

Winner: Pixel Qi's Everywhere Display
,----[ Quote ]
| Iâm watching a clip from Slumdog Millionaire
| on what looks like a standard netbook
| computer, a scene in which deep blue body
| paint gives way to luscious saffron-yellow
| cloth. The picture quality is fine, if
| nothing special. But then I push a small
| white button at the side of the display, and
| it does something Iâve never seen before:
| The backlight disappears, and the image
| turns black and white, remaining visible
| thanks to the overhead lights in the room. I
| hold up an Amazon Kindle by way of
| comparison. Both displays have the same
| crisp grayscale text Iâve come to expect
| from e-paper.

Smarter than a netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| Freescale's research focused on the future
| because most smartbooks have yet to hit the
| market. The company has collaborated on one
| smartbook to date: the NetWalker from
| Japanese manufacturer Sharp. Qualcomm has
| also unveiled one smartbook, made by Lenovo.
| Both companies expect at least a dozen
| smartbooks incorporating their chips to
| debut in early 2010.
