The OLPC is a fantastic project. This is unacceptable. The idea that "substandard laptops are better than no laptops at all!" is a false argument. These laptops have a flaw and it needs to be addressed by OLPC.

Not only is this a ridiculous solution and a huge distraction; we would be loathe to accept this kind of equipment for our own kids. Why should it be acceptable for anyone else's child? Schools deserve tools that actually work, wherever they are.

An "at least they get to exorcise!" sentiment is roll-your-eyes worthy.

A! Husband! Murdered! His! Wife! Over! Facebook!

Hilarious.

This wasn't a "facebook" issue - this is a domestic violence and murder story. Not fodder for an "oooh cool look at this!" site. Not in good taste at all.
