An Intel Core 2 microprocessor, 1.66GHz and 2MB integrated L2 cache and 80GB memory promises to deliver performance. However, it cannot match a desktop with core duo processors.
You bet they have. One "kid" suggested no caps lock key and we took his advice. Collaboration and open source are at the root of everything we do.
Have you seen this work?
We have seen it work all over the place: Cambodia, Costa Rica, Brazil -- just to name a few. In one school, 100 percent more kids showed up for the first grade in the next year. They were not coming from the neighbouring village. No. What happened is that the six-year-olds in school told those who were not attending that school is cool.

Calcutta, Dec. 16: Intel Corporation is interested in a local partner for its foray into WiMAX in India.
On his visit to the country last year, Craig Barrett, chairman of Santa Clara-based Intel, highlighted the WiMAX technology’s ability to connect remote areas and bridge the digital divide.
Intel has started a pilot WiMAX project in Baramati, near Pune. The company wanted to do trial runs in many cities and was also in talks with the Bengal
Most people hit the caps lock key by accident. It is particularly likely since it is close to the alphabet 'a' (often used in English and Latin languages) and just above the 'shift' key, which itself can be used in making uppercase.
I am willing to bet that 99 per cent of the world's users spend time deleting uppercase letters that have inadvertently appeared because they accidentally hit 'caps lock'.
Why the insistence on open source?
Because sharing and collaboration are very important pieces of education. We think that computer programming itself is an important part of "learning (about) learning." Our keyboard even has a "view source" key that you can hit to see the source code of what you are running.
So why not concentrate on the laptop business, instead, which is growing at over 60 per cent?
Lenovo is number two (HP leads and Acer is No.3) in the Indian laptop segment, according to IDC.
The company is doing well with laptops. It got around 60 per cent of its total revenues from notebooks in FY08.
El mercado de los Ultra Mobile PCs no acaba de despegar, seguramente por el elevado precio de estos atractivos dispositivos. Pero la cosa podría cambiar: Intel acaba de aprovechar su IDF en Beijing para anunciar que sus futuros UMPCs utilizarán Linux.
Los llamados MID (Mobile Internet Device) tendrán pantallas de entre 4,5 y 6 pulgadas y estarán destinadas a todo tipo de usuarios, según la noticia de ZDNet.
La primera plataforma que aparecerá, MID2007, tiene como nombre en clave McCaslin está siendo desarrollada y afinada para su cristalización el año que viene.
