Citing "philosophical" differences, Intel has pulled out of the One Laptop Per Child project to put cheap computers in the hands of children in the developing world. But the piece doesn't tell us what those differences really are...
An interesting look at an important project to level the playing field for developing nations. It seems the One Laptop Per Child project made demands of Intel that might not be realistic. Hopefully the project will find success while working with the other partners in the project. And perhaps will learn from this set back to be more reasonable with those remaining partners.
