  • This is good one.

    I appreciated the sense of humor. Sense of humor helps in such a difficult subject as layoffs.

    Take care.

  • Say it with me now:

    Widescreen does not equal Hi-Def

  • I'd love to see the Amazon server video! That's awesome .. keep up the good work guys!

  • OLPC is not renewing contracts with contract software developers. Not laying off 50% of the Cambridge MIT OLPC staff.

    Google, Microsoft, Apple plenty of other companies are cutting off contractors that are not working on the core of their products in these times where investors are limiting funds.

  • YT won't let me link to it in comments, but you can find Negroponte's letter online...

  • Ars Technica are not a reliable source for anything. They have been deeply anti-OLPC since the beginning of the project.

  • Check the link on the OLPC story, the info is all there.

    Have you used XP on the OLPC? We have. It was awful.

  • I mean that the Sugar OS release 8.2.0 was now the first stable Sugar release. So no need for paying core contract software developers anymore.

    Now OLPC should work on the core embedded Linux anbd new cheaper hardware with less components thus less power consumption for the XO-2 that is going to be $75.

    OLPC designed most of the XO-1 with less than the amount of employees that they have now.

    OLPC started the Netbook revolution. They forced the industry to do cheaper lower power computers.
