AMD4life!  

oh shut up, you know something? most markets thrive on competition..... which pushes price down what the prof is saying is "intel is selling it's own version of MY product at a better price" and so FFS STFU and stop making flamebait threads in which you bash intel (i know your paid by amd, but please do it on another forum)
and i also notice they aren't really in the same price range - that article says the class mate costs $200, and how much is the OLPC laptop suposed to cost? oh yeah, half that (so actually i invalidated my own viewpoint, since they aren't competing....)

Oh noez, Intel is selling cheap laptops to help the children..
 
We have enough people like this on the internet, we don't need more 8 year olds getting one.

Is AMD supporting OLPC?

AMD left the project a couple months back if I recall correctly, and they don't offer an alternative to it either, unlike Intel is doing.

Why not Cnumartyr?? I think it'd be fantastic! I waste far too much time at school trying to show the kids how to use computers.. And I don't think the age matters - I remember losing a chess tournament to a little 8 year old girl! (ouch!). Believe me, kids are capable of far more than given credit for. As for the competition - it can only be good for all possible customers concerened as it improves quality and drives prices down. - believe me (-;.  As for thunderman's comment - maybe he has understood that we all need amd/ati at the end of the day for the reason I just explained - that of competition.. So, yes! Come on Amd! (then we may finally see the 9000 series gpu an the 45 nm Cpus..) Zabba!
 
Be safe for the new year!

Really?  I thought AMD was still part of the OLPC project.  I really don't know, but it would've been news if the OLPCs only source for its CPU left the project.

look a new story regarding this.

Poor people smell like sour milk, how is a computer going to change that.

(quote)costs of production would be kept low if nations ordered the computers by the million but orders of this magnitude have yet to materialise(unquote)
 
How the hellll is that posssible?????????
What's 100,000,000 ollars to a country??
Maybe some countries prefer there people to remain uneducated. The internet has to be an integral part of development and education..  
 
Gates could buy one for every American that's 25,000,000,000 dollars, an still have 10 billion change in his pocket..
Ryan..

 
The only thing that stinks here Major, are remarks like that.. I can only hope it was tongue in cheek that went way way way over my head..

They would just use the OLPC to surf Europorn and play Doom.
 
Hell, they don't even sell them with a free box of condoms which is the real solution for poverty.

those laughing smilies..... there is something strangely demonic about them.... its like.... _______ thatmmuch    
i dont understand!

 
This from a guy with an avatar of Mario doggy boffing the Princess????????

Wow, breaking news... FROM MAY OF 2007

Intel cares little about this scheme, they are just trying to make a fast buck. The OLPC is a genuine caring scheme to help the less well off in the world. Intel have stooped very low to undermine Professor Negroponte good work. Intel will swallow up the OLPC scheme then abuse it's evil cooperate position as usual.
 
Intel are the Evil Empire!
