Yet another "breakthrough" by that one-time admirable institution, the MIT.

I guess that M stands for marketing...

H. Ruiz, darling, i suggest you take a trip to India sometime soon. 
I've lived there all my life. The urban population is approaching 50%, and in the cities at least the caste system is something you read about in the text books. In the provinces, an education and job decides your status. Things are changing so fast, it'll make your out-of-date head spin. Yes one reads things in the news frequetly, but thats the same as reading about domestic crime in the UK - its not exactly like a horror movie in real life is it? Up the population to 1.3 billion, increase reporting.

The world is not what is in the news. You should have learned it by now instead of self-righteously pontificating.

And by the way, one does not exclude the other. Everything needs improving in India, and all hands are welcome. What are YOU doing, other than blowhard-ing from the side?

lame computer, $12
mobile that works as an internet modem, $100
mobile broadband signature, $50/month
laughing @ INQ articles, priceless


Who needs proper sanitation, healthcare or true democracy (as opposed to the obscenity that is the caste system) when you can give kids dirt-cheap computers?

Just get a C64 DTV, gut the games from it, you're done. $12 computer.

Why keep re-inventing the wheel?

See my next comment for the quick and easy solution to world peace.

Let's bring back the Vic-20! C-64. Best part is using the TV as monitor.
