Somehow I knew you'd jump on this, and make it worse with an even more
inflamatory headline. See Below.

If you'd actually bothered to do a little research yourself, you would have
found out that. A) The person in question was never an Intel employee. He
worked for a company called GeekCorps that was a buisiness partner of
Intels. B) the article in question where this was revealed was over a year
old, and since that time the person in question quit GeekCorps. C) Even
the ex-CTO of OLPC (who just left to start her own company, which you've
lauded) says He's not affiliated with Intel.
See:

What's more, the person in question has actually been very positive about
OLPC, even though other authors on the site have had some negative
articles.
But hey, anything to drive your agenda, right Roy? It's not like all this
wasn't known at least a *DAY* before you posted this.
