Linux Tablet and $100 Laptop
Filed under:
I am still on vacation, but I would be sad to see the blog remaining static. The following are a few pointers that I have accumulated in recent days:
- Linux tablet – running fully-featured Linux on a modern tablet PC
- $100 laptop prototype – a proposal from MIT
- Why would a Linux device be as capable (or more) as any other platform which is expensive and bound to restrictions? See the Slashdot roundup of Web applications. The collection of links therein is makes an excellent proof of the emergence of AJAX in several major aspects of work, e.g. scheduling and spreadsheets. I mentioned this as a future possibility a few days ago and wrote a long essay about it on the plane just a day before coming across the item from Slashdot.
Did you know there was AJAX word processor, AJAX spreadsheet, AJAX calendar, AJAX presentation-building software, AJAX e-mail client, AJAX note-taking software and some other interesting applications, which, deployed on your local server, do not need installation and “just work” in a browser window?
