  1. Comment - Digg makes official its adoption of a 'semantic Web' standard

    If this works out it should prove to be rather interesting. I wonder if they have given any thought to RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) such as Flex or Flash? especially since they are becoming more and more common...

  2. Comment - Up Close: The OLPC $188 laptop

    (Jan 10, 2008 - 9:14 AM)

    Some of you guys are so ignorant! like sjc001 said... this is going to kids in developing nations. this is NOT a business or gaming computer. they are trying to get the kids used to technology at a young age that way they can build upon that knowledge and in the future more likely to dig deeper into technology and better their countries.

    The laptop is quite impressive! Built-in wireless (including mesh networking), no traditional hard drive (flash memory instead), built-in webcam and microphone, as well as tools to teach the children the basics of programming, blogging, audio/video editing, and internet access to connect them to the whole world...

    I've actually loaded the operation system on a laptop of mine and its quite impressive and the kids in those countries are loving these devices. Us Americans and our children really are very spoiled.

    One other feature about the OLPC... you can drop it, spill water on it, and it will still work. Would you laptop survive that?
