Intel has pulled the plug on its involvement in the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, saying OLPC founder Nick Negroponte expected the chip company to stop selling its Classmate PC while it was a part of the program.
Intel has denied claims made by One Laptop per Child that it broke a "non-disparagement" agreement and hit back at suggestions that it did not even contribute "a single line of code" to the project.
The One Laptop per Child organisation has pencilled in October for the production of its ruggedised device, the XO, and has orders for three million machines already.
There has been a lot of focus in recent years on creating inexpensive, affordable computers for users in the developing world, and at the forefront is Professor Nicholoas Negroponte.
A few weeks ago, I was in Shanghai, at the Intel Developers Forum. Intel was keen to show off what it hopes will be the bridging device between high-end mobiles and laptops: the mobile Internet device or MID. Intel was showing off a lot of interesting things at the conference. The MID, sadly, was not one of them.
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala was officially released overnight and marked the eleventh release of the distribution. It's attractive, polished and measured, but fails "the grandma test".
Intel demonstrated a working version of USB 3.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week. Here's what we can look forward to with the new technology.
I recently visited the shiny new Apple store located beneath a glass cube on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
When companies launch a brand new product it usually takes some time to weed out the niggling issues; but how many systems need to break before the situation is recognised as a disaster rather than an unfortunate blip in quality control?
If you listen to Intel, the last hold-outs against the x86 instruction set are about to fall with super-powered Nehalem swarms mopping up the high end of massed Power PC supercomputers, and sneaky little Atoms nibbling away at the ARM embedded market.
Nicholas Negroponte is a man on a mission. As Chairman of the One Laptop per Child program (OLPC), he has big plans ahead of him: to help eliminate poverty through education, via US$100 laptops distributed to the world's poorest children.
If ever there were a case for Dell to do a Texas two-step to AMD, analyst says, the Compaq nx6125 might just be it.
Despite Intel's protests, it appears that a Pentium 4 desktop processor can be effectively used in a laptop computer--which, if done correctly, could save some buyers hundreds of dollars, according to testing by ZDNet UK Reviews.
Chipmaker Intel has given details of new initiatives aimed at reducing the power consumption of notebook displays and at adding communications capabilities to portable computing devices.
The Dell Latitude D630 can't go wrong with corporate users, because it integrates Intel's latest mobile platform with a business-friendly feature set and lengthy extended battery.
No removable battery, a two-year AT&T contract (in the US -- Australian details have not yet been released), and a high price are just a few of the problems with the Apple iPhone. Find out what other features (or lack of) make the iPhone undesirable.
The iPhone is not compatible with Microsoft Exchange or push e-mail services, like RIM's Blackberry, which could mean users will bypass corporate security safeguards in order to get their hands on the long awaited device.

This year's Worldwide Developers Conference opened with a surprising announcement by some guy in blue jeans and a black turtleneck.
The UX30 gets oh so close to what it strives to achieve, but small design choices like the stippled touchpad and port covers, and large issues like the low battery life prevent it from achieving greatness.
An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
A solid business laptop with excellent battery life, the EliteBook 6930p won't disappoint, but there is little in this laptop to warrant the 'Elite' label.
Dell's Latitude E4300 shares many of the exciting features of its larger siblings, but also sacrifices a lot in exchange for portability.
