OLPC Project Goes Into Production
The One Laptop per Child project has started production, with the first children in the developing world expected to receive their computers in October this year. While initial estimates wanted the device to cost no more than 100$ it seems that it was not possible due to a better screen selection and the existence of Wi-Fi thus the device will cost $176. Time will tell what the true impact of giving children in the developing world access to free Laptops will be.

If the kids get to take it home and use it, well... I could see some very creative hackers coming out of it. Both good and bad. :)
