Breaking news is that Intel has quit the OLPC board. So is this important? Well not sure, the current XO has an AMD processor so it does not effect the short term and Intel has been on the board for just 6 month. The OLPC team do seem to be hurting in getting NGOs and other to buy these machines, but 50k orders as part of the "Buy 1 Get 1" program is decent if not Dell like volumes.
I think it does say a lot about Intel. God-dam-it, leave your politics and product plans at the door and actually give something back to your future customer base in the developing world.
