You may wonder what is OLPC. It stands for "One Laptop Per Child". To me it's the most noble project I've came across. The mission is to provide the children from all over the world, especially poverty countries, with this laptop which is also known as 'XO' laptop. The price is US$100. Now they have a program called "Get 1 Give 1", where you could purchase this laptop for US$400, and another laptop will be giveaway as a charity. For more info, go to www.laptop.org
On personal note, I jez wish they'd put in Java in to the laptop. I'm not saying Python is not good. But being a Java developer, I just think with Java, this laptop could has more killer applications and games.
Below is a video on the 'XO laptop'.
