One Laptop Per Child: Will it meet the needs?
Slashdot reports that 1 million $130 laptops have already been ordered for the One Laptop Per Child initiative. The laptop has a new type of display, new software, new virus protection software, new everything... And it's cheap, and it's going to change the world. Yeah, right! I just hope that they rigorously test the machine before throwing it to millions of unsuspecting children.

World Cup semi-finalist predictions: Feb 11 edition
S. Africa, for sure. Australia, still pretty sure, with some chances of a wobble. The home-team advantage is huge. So W. Indies could sneak through. The fourth team is hard to predict. England are playing pretty well, but they may go back into their shell. Indians are playing well, but other teams are out-preparing them - teams like Sri Lanka. I'd give the fourth slot to Sri Lanka on current form.
S. Africa, Australia, W. Indies, Sri Lanka.
S. Africa, Australia, W. Indies, Sri Lanka.
