The One Laptop Per Child project has received a lot of media attention, including a lot of criticism, especially since announcing that the next version of the tiny educational laptop would run Windows XP.

Regardless of its flaws, the MIT-initiated project has inspired many companies, including Intel and Asus to produce their own low-powered machines for developing regions.  The design and production of these brings together technologists, designers, educators, economists… cool!
