Do you remember the one laptop per child project  that was all the rage a year or two ago?

Yves Behar, FTW.  A year or so behind schedule but the second iteration is sure to be an impressive debut.  Technology aside, let’s not forget the social and cultural barriers affecting the introduction of such a device.  But given the turbulence of the last release, I’m sure OLPC will pull through.

Cool computer and concept, but honestly, how first world is this shit? “Hey, let’s get those poor fucking Africans some laptops! What, you want some water or food or other basic services? Well, you can’t. But I can invite you to Google Wavves.”
