Chip-maker Intel "should be ashamed of itself" for efforts to undermine the USD 100 laptop initiative, according to its founder Nicholas Negroponte. He accused Intel of selling its own cut-price laptop - the Classmate - below cost to drive him out of markets. Professor Negroponte, who aims to distribute millions of laptops to kids in developing countries, said Intel had hurt his mission "enormously".

Unfortunately , money is always made in these companies
Thing is, if someone with limited resources brings up money and resources to create something which will help people, and babysit this idea all the way from idea to reality, that is something to be proud of and support. When a company recognizes that this idea has profit potentials and recreates the idea with pretty much no effort relatively, then undercuts the pricing to steal the "market" then that's not something to be proud of. If they would've taken the road to support the original project, then that would've been a wholly different story.
