Considering the OLPC (as pictured) is a dedicated i386 hardware without touchscreen, and that OLPCs runs on a customized RedHat, while the article refers to hacking Android (?) and a Motorola Xoom tablet, I wonder what kind of huge mix up this is and what it is supposed to mean.
EDIT: thanks for the helpful explanation in the comment. I read the article twice and still couldn't figure that out. My first idea was the journalist mixed this up. My mistake
- tankbot 14y agoYou could always just read the (admittedly not that great) piece which precisely explained all of that. In a sentence: Nicholas Negroponte, who started OLPC, dropped off a bunch of Xooms that run Android in a couple of villages where the kids figured out how to enable the tablet's camera without any instruction or even literacy.
