OLPC and Intel bury the hatchet--for the children
,----[ Quote ]
| Intel Chairman Craig Barrett has been the public face of the company's work
| on its Classmate PCs for emerging nations, and he has been very dismissive of
| the OLPC project in the past, calling it "the $100 gadget." And in a May
| interview with 60 Minutes, Negroponte accused Intel of dumping Classmate PCs
| way below cost in order to win deals with local governments and sabotage
| Negroponte's dreams of bringing PCs to the world's poor children.
