I’m looking at the calendar, and it doesn’t appear to be April 1st…

I’ve got $100 that says that this is just more grad student wankery that will never amount to anything, because it solves “problems” that don’t actually exist (in the sense that no one would pay for the product).
DF did me one better – he managed to work the phrase ‘hipster douchebag’ into his rant.
Hey, academic wanksters – how’s that “one laptop per child” coming along?
Have you totally changed the third world thanks to your vaporware that, – “totally uncool!” – got preempted by the real market bringing out better, competing devices at the same pricepoint, except with out the use of grad students and/or Nicholas Negroponte ?
