Pay 10k for a charity OQO, get an ant species named after you
It's for a good cause, everyone: our man Jory Bell over at
OQO is auctioning off a one-of-a-kind polished magnesium finish OQO model 01 to benefit the California Academy of Science's Madagascar Biodiversity Center. Not only is it tax-deductible, but it includes pre-production OQO VGA video and battery adapters, as well as a spare battery for those long weekends in the jungle. Oh, and if the bidding exceeds US $10,000, Jory's friend Dr. Brian Fisher promises cross-his-heart hope-to-die that he'll name a species of ant after you. Sounds like a deal, sign us up!
P.S. Don't make us regret this link by clogging the auction with fake bids or anything, ok everybody?
