MIT have released photo's of the first working model of their, much
lambasted by Bill Gates, $100 laptop intended for school children in
3rd world countries:

and for the privilege of promising to buy one you get to pay only
$300... of course that pledge actually buys 3 units, 2 of which are
to be donated to their intended target market.

not to bad for $100- sort of looks like lego meets Ikia meets the
original "ClamBook" iBook ... but what's with the HP laptop in the
background plastered in Apple stickers?
