How is it a flame? The $100 OLPC doesn't exist, the $10 India PC doesn't exist and this $25 PC doesn't exist. You confirm this with your post and then claim I am flaming and downvotes warranted.
If they exist, where are they?
I might as well post about the $75 automobile we have for sale, details on engine and number of wheels not available as we haven't decided, but the one thing we know is it's $75. Completely absurd to be taking such a claim seriously. The product doesn't exist. Pointing to products that cost substantially more doesn't prove anything. I can buy a new ASUS Eee PC 1015PE Seashell with 1GB RAM, a 1.66GHz processor and a 160GB hard drive for $200. That is something that is for sale and being produced by a for-profit company. OPLCs produced for $200 are not evidence that the $100 OPLC exists. The $100 OPLC never existed, nor did the $10 Indian PC, nor does this $25 PC claim.

- bugsy 15y agoFantastic, I look forward to purchasing a complete functioning PC for $25. I hope someone is taking preorders somewhere too.
- loup-vaillant 15y agoThe flame is in the tone, not in the facts. But the power of tone is such that many readers will flame in the facts themselves. Tone alone can discredit everything you say, to the point where you can't even say "Okay, I'm sorry, but […]" because nobody will read past "but" anyway. Believe me, I've been nearly kicked out of 2 online communities for my tone. Anyway the fighting burnt me out, so I left.
