Fundamentally, we like the idea of OLPC (One Laptop Per Child). It might help third world kids raise their countries and themselves out of the continuing cycle of poverty. Of course a little food wouldn't hurt!

Of course, it's one thing to think things are bad where you live. It's another to be able to circle the globe on the Internet and see it first hand.

One thing we do know is once the $100 computer manufacturing ramps up, we certainly hope the features, capabilities and realistic pricing hits across the board. We'd like a little of that rugged, cheap computing power too!!! Of course that may not be what Intel, MS and all the notebook producers had in mind... MORE FROM ANDY MARKEN

Prince to sue Youtube - by CommsDay

YouTube faces yet another lawsuit over unauthorized content – this time by rebellious rock star- Prince. The singer said he would strike out at the video portal and other major sites to “reclaim hi art on the Internet” and dismissed claims the Google unit has no control over content uploaded by its users.

In a statement issued by representatives, Prince said YouTube is able to “filter porn and pedophile material but appear[s] not to filter out the unauthorized music and film content which is core to their business success.”

YouTube already faces myriad content suits, including a US$1 billion claim by Viacom. It claims to be developing content filters but nevertheless, says the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which merely requires operators to remove infringing content following formal notification by copyright holders, protects it from liability.
