Hardware, Embedded Systems Here is an 8 minute documentary about the recently unveiled 100$ laptop. It shows the laptop in action, and also discusses its aspects with one of the team members, such as the screen, the cheap keyboard, and much more. The video is in Quicktime, and this mirror gives better performance. My take: I am very, very, very impressed. The thought put into the details is just stunning. Every aspect of this machine has a function. Just astonishing.

Are you always this inflammatory?

Erm, how exactly was that inflammatory?

It seems that every response you give to anybody who questions anything you do is very unprofessional and quite unfitting of somebody who is representing OSnews as staff.

From what I can recall, if he was corrected on some (non-brain-dead) subject or another and shown actual proof, he concedes the fact. I'm wondering if maybe you're just focusing on the wrong things (really, HOW was what he posted inflammatory?)

Regardless, this issue doesn't even concern opinion or viewpoints. It is correct to put the $ in front of the monetary amount when using USD. If you want to "be special" and put it after, fine, but there is no need to be so rude to somebody who simply asked you do things the _correct_ way.

It's correct here in Canada too, but I've never encountered anyone outside of Government who would make an issue over such a stupid little thing.

You are truly an ass.

Well *that* certainly wasn't inflammatory...

*sigh* I shouldn't post here untill I've gone to Timmie's and spent dollars 1.40 for a cup of coffee. :-P

Gawd. The things I respond to...
