Internet Radio Short Term Deal? July 13, 2007
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Articles/Videos.add a comment
Wired News is reporting that there may be a deal in the works to waive (at least temporarily) a $6000 fee. This fee is in addition to royalties. High start-up fees essentially limit the ability of sites to offer Internet radio.

$100 Laptop – Now Only $175, or Maybe Low $200’s July 13, 2007
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Articles/Videos, OLPC.add a comment
I read a short article from Yahoo! Finance about how Intel has made peace with the One Laptop Per Child initiative, which is the work of Nicholas Negroponte at MIT. I’m glad to see increased access to technology, specifically networked devices that connect people around the world. I do think it is a little humorous that the laptop project is still called the ‘$100 laptop’ now that the price is listed in this article as $175. And here I thought technology was getting cheaper, or maybe this is just an exception that proves Moore’s Law. The article is linked below which contains links to both the laptop project and Intel’s version of a similar device.
