Birmingham city schools; closing ragged old buildings, attempting to enforce dress codes for teachers, manipulating no child left behind assessment results, losing students by the hundreds every year, but a knock off laptop will save them! The mayor's article yesterday is a "build it and they will come" speech. This will be another multi-million dollar deal wasted for birmingham city schools.
The reason why people in 3rd world countries and even in America are still starving despite the Billions of dollars sent towards them is simply because GOVERNMENT GRANTS, LOANS AND DONATIONS TOWARDS THE POOR ARE PUT IN THE HANDS OF GREEDY CORPORATIONS WHO NOT ONLY STEAL THAT MONEY, BUT DO THEIR BEST TO GET TAX WRITE OFFS in the process. They steal those funds in the form of hedgefunds, earmarks and other assorted names you probably hear most about when listening to congressional biographies.
What good is an OLPC going to do for children being raped,slaughtered in war and trafficked worldwide?
"well I'm not going to be able to eat tonight but at least my wifi connection is solid"
Something...SOMETHING...is telling that these may not run Crysis very well. And by 'something' I mean 'everything'. And by 'may' I mean 'won't'. And by 'very well' I mean 'at all'.

@Flashpoint:
Your comment might have made sense if OLPC was a money grubbing corporation. But it's a non-profit. Which makes your comment pointless.
