in The state of the One Laptop Per Child project on Scobleizer
Thanks for the interviews, but it would be nice if you also did your homework before hand. Your lack of knowledge about OLPC and softball/clueless questions make Larry King Live look like 60 Minutes.

Bono? No at this point, the best he can hope for is Geldof. And only then if his exit is first.

in Attention freetards: $100 laptop now available for only $600 on The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
Craigslist fools. They're selling for $400 on eBay, just as I predicted.

in NY Times: iPhone outselling Microsoft and Motorola on The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
No matter how cool you think the iPhone is, it doesn't even come close to the Nokia N95 in sales or real geek lust

in Intel bails from OLPC on The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
Ha! As usual great post, especially the last paragraph where the intended recipients, the Ministers of Education, are not on the field but over talking with the Pats on the sidelines. "So you have local support, and teacher training, eh?"

in Will the OLPC really work in the Third-World? on theory.isthereason
Kevin,

I echo your concerns on OLPC News as to date there isn't much of an implementation plan. OLPC believes that the children will figure everything out, just drop the computers into their lap and you'll get an implementation miracle:

It's too bad that OLPC isn't interested in "a little cash". They want $30 Billion (that's with a "B") in funding every year. Not "a little cash" but anyone's count.

To put that in perspective, the United Way, America's largest charity, is at 3.8 Billion per year.

in A Laptop in Every Hut? on The Technology Liberation Front
While I did a deep critique of Sonia's article on OLPC News, I'll just leave my favorite snippet in this comment:


Bad is forgetting your own words. In 2005 Ms. Arrison said "the open source (OS) community is finally coming of age" and "evolving in a positive way."


Ms. Arrison, stick to critiquing the OLPC implementation, not its open source software, and be consistent. "Irresponsible and self-serving" would be forcing Microsoft Windows or Office on the developing world, not FOSS.


As to the OLPC, we'll have to see.
