Sometimes there's a real inspiring, innovative feature that I'll find in my daily troll of the day's events. Never mind the day's distractions of Jon Benet and the lengths business travelers will have to go thru to brush their teeth, shave, etc. in some Marriot in Dallas.
It's all about the $100 laptop; Yves Behar, who runs San Francisco's Fuse Project, embarked on designing this for children of the Third World. Note the power crank, the bright colors that kids will love. Wired ran a feature about this last month-- it breaks down the details and features of the laptop, such as it's rabbit-ears attennas that'll give it as 1/2 mile 802.11 wireless range, built-in handle, heavy-duty rubberized casing, a touchpad that supports both drawing and typing, and impressive built-in software. Very cool.
