The OLPC features something similar to this:

You know, for all the trash talk about the OLPC and it's lack of a regular GUI, it sure does have a few innovative ideas in there that we could learn from.
- unalone 18y agoHow much trash talk is there regarding the OLPC itself? All the criticism I've heard is for the company designing it, not for the computers themselves.
- omouse 18y agoThere's always at least one person that will say, "give them food or water instead", and another saying, "how will this prepare them for the future? the OLPC's GUI is nothing like Windows, Mac or Linux. How can they get a job working with computers??" Maybe that isn't a lot of trash talk, but it quickly gets annoying and old.
- unalone 18y agoThe first comment: makes a little sense, I think. The second one: bleh. Theoretically, working with the Mac didn't give you experience with the iPhone. Two radically different interfaces, even with Leopard multitouch. It's the CONCEPT of computing that needs to be taught, not the INTERFACE. If you see those critics anywhere, slap 'em for me or something.
