What? $10?

Researchers in India said that they could build a $10 laptop that is fully functional for kids. Now, that One Laptop Per Child program is going to hell if this ever comes true because that program started out with $100 per laptop and now the price has gone up to $175. That’s just nuts – all this balahoo about helping children and then you make money off the this “cause”.

One Laptop Per Child poster – those children were probably bribed with candies when they found out about the $10 laptop..:P

I hope those guys in India will make those $10 laptops because then, EVERY child can probably afford a laptop. Well, since this is just what the dudes in India said, it hasn’t been done yet but if they’re So sure it’s do-able, i’m keeping my fingers crossed. For all you know these OLPC program might want to thwart them and call them liars in the face of the world, then u can wave bye bye to $10 laptops because even if it could exist, it’s just not allowed to in this inflation bound world.
