Many peopole taking part in this list may not be aware how difficult it is for a government to procure one million units of anything and distributing it throughout the country. Being able to make a computer is one thing, and working with governments and ensuring proper distribution is another. Whi

>$100 laptop? No worries. I might also point out that there are many CPU chips that have been made by "FABless" companies. I do not believe that MIPS ever owned a FAB, nor has Sun Microsystems (SPARC). I worked for Digital when we had our own FAB plants for making the Alphas. We also did FAB wor

Hi Taran, I suppose by buying a US$100 laptop an illiterate becomes literate and exploring the Internet fulfills the curriculum of all thirty plus students in each class.!! I am of course, not under- valuing the phenomenal wealth of knowledge accessible by the same laptop but... The whole conce

Re: [DDN] Video: the $100 laptop at WSIS

Mike, I beg to differ - AMD can supply the demand; in fact if they can't they quickly could. The reason Intel and AMD have the market positions that they do is mainly because of Wintel, and that's rapidly eroding. Bear in mind I'm not defending the MIT Media labs $100 million laptop. I'm talking a

Re: [DDN] Video: the $100 laptop at WSIS

As I keep saying, it's not a $100 laptop. It's a $100 million laptop. As far as this Negroponte issue - is it Negroponte's, or is it MIT Media Labs? If it is a product of MIT Media labs, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it 'the MIT Media lab laptop which costs $100 US if you order a million'

Re: [DDN] Video: the $100 laptop at WSIS

Honestly, I think probably not. One thing Negroponte has been emphasizing is that they only want to work with national governments willing to purchase laptops in batches of one million or more. That's one of the ways they intend to keep costs down. I don't know if Italy is one of the initial co

Hi everyone, This morning I got to spend some time playing around with the first prototype of Nicholas Negroponte's $100 laptop initiative. Negroponte unveiled it last night with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. I've tossed together an eight-minute video previewing the laptop, including an i
