OLPC Launches Give 1 Get 1 Today

November 17, 2008 No Comments

OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) has launched it’s Give 1 Get 1 program for a second time.  Last year this program provided over 100,000 laptops for children in developing countries.  For US$399, a person buys 2 XO laptops.  One is for them, the other is sent to a child in a developing country.  But don’t get too excited.  This is a great program for the kids, but I doubt you will want to walk into your next meeting with a XO laptop (unless you work for a toy company).

I say related because some were about [...]

Why Apple Loves Microsoft

May 12, 2009

Apple loves Microsoft.  It’s a fact.  In fact, Apple is thankful everyday for Microsoft’s very existence.  Why?  Because without Microsoft, Apple could not and would not be Apple.
Apple currently  holds about 10% market share.  Microsoft has pretty much the rest  (except for the tiny fraction that Linux etc. has).  If it were the other way [...]
