This is a project doomed for disaster primarily because it was an atlanticist’s version of creating another sop to “spoon feed” the hungry nations by way of “educating” them with brand new laptops. It is an interesting cocept but is sorely out of tune with the present realities. If you don’t get what I am speaking off, I am referring to the $100 laptop.

BBC says that Intel has bid goodbye to the project and instead wants to focus on it’s version of a run down “cheap” laptop. All “noble intentions” indeed. I am glad that the frigging babus did not invest crores of public money to support the hair brained idea. Nevertheless, I report here because there was lot of hue and cry about the “mesh networking” and the works.
