This is hilarious...the Indian government has decided that the folks at MIT who are supposed to be innovating and helping with the digital divide in countries like India, are just not good enough at it. So, instead of the 100 buck laptop, they are producing one for 10. I love the way the world is shaping up.
The government whose Ministry of Education dismissed Nick Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child computer as "pedagogically suspect" in 2006 is now backing a plan to design, build and sell a model priced at 400 rupees, or about ten bucks.
