About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Monday, May 21, 2007Is Intel trying to torpedo the OLPC?Larry Dignan in ZDNet Blogs:Nicholas Negroponte, head of the One Laptop Per Child project, blasted Intel for trying to usurp any momentum his effort is getting.I watched 60 Minutes last night and I have to say, I found Negroponte far more credible than Intel's CEO. Clearly, Intel, which had belittled the OLPC project repeatedly, later jumped into this market solely to prevent Negroponte from selling AMD-based hardware to third world countries. Meanwhile, all Intel has really accomplished is preventing Negroponte, who is clearly and blatantly acting solely out of charity--OLPC is non-profit--from fulfilling his dream of spreading computing around the world. Intel should be ashamed of itself. This is an outrage. Labels: Linux [ Posted at 1:59 PM | Permalink ]
