Sweet.
The first working models of MIT’s $100 laptop (the One Laptop Per Child project) are out and were presented at the Seven Countries Task Force Meeting last 23 May 2006.
The colors are nice — how very, uhm, Ubuntu. (The prototype runs on Fedora Core 5, though. ;))

‘Sourceforge for .NET’?
From Monkey Bites:
Microsoft’s CodePlex is an online open source development home base for C#, Visual Studio and .NET programmers. It’s a place where developers can track their projects, post builds, and interact with other community members. Think of it as a SourceForge for the .NET set.
Okay, I’m not a developer (except for the occasional dabbling in PHP and Perl — but that’s not exactly “development”), but I’ve been hearing good things about .NET. I remember someone saying it’s the only good thing that came out of Redmond.
And for Microsoft to host open source projects for .NET is something worth watching. I wonder how open source developers will take this.

Got this childhood dream of becoming an astronaut, or at least work with NASA. And with news like this about the Stardust project, who wouldn’t? [via Boing Boing]
