Spam? This is what is happening in the world - other than Islam, or politics. I find it a fresh change to the normal thread bashing around here! Just my 2 cents is all. Trying to start a conversation that doesn't end up in you said this or you said that is all.
These laptops take no batteries, are powered by free software, and I can only imagine the learning potential that a child could get from being able to read the worlds opinions. I've learned way more about the world over the inet than any school could ever teach me. The inet is the most powerful teaching tool I think the world has ever known.
Teachers are good, schools are good for the basics, but for learning after school as well (They get to take the laptops home and plan to put up wireless connections for small towns) these things can't be beat. The 3rd world countries are falling behind. This is only a simple project to find a way to stop that. There is no profit in these things - they are being provided at cost.
