Here is a short film about what could be your Life 2.0 : a brain that would integrate more than 1000 new functions such as Weather, Calendar, Clock, GPS, Life Chat, phone, a video camera, etc…
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) foundation extends “Give one, Get one” program until December 31, 2007 in the USA and Canada.
Wow that’s pretty cool to make a 200$ donation and then receive the XO-1 Laptop for only 200$ (a $399 donation, $200 of which is tax-deductible).
I think it’s a wonderful gift for Christmas that people can do.
Think about it : you give for disadvantaged child in a developing nation, and you also receive your christmas gift.
The first countries to place big orders for the XO laptops were Uruguay and Mongolia. Today we learn that Peruvian government has signed a contract to purchase 260,000 units and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has ordered 50,000 laptops for distribution in Mexico..
To date donations to the “Give one, Get one” offer are about $2 million per day.
