The project that used to be called the $100 laptop, which costs about $250 now I think, has launched and children in third-world countries are really enjoying these things.
From Reuters:
ABUJA, July 19 (Reuters Life!) - Nigerian schoolchildren who received laptops from a U.S. aid organisation have used them to explore pornographic sites on the Internet, the official News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported on Thursday.
NAN said its reporter had seen pornographic images stored on several of the children's laptops.
"Efforts to promote learning with laptops in a primary school in Abuja have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with explicit sexual materials," NAN said.
Great project. Now I start to understand how they can make those laptops so cheap.
