Flashback, 2008: Intel Employee Caught Running OLPC News Site http://news.slashdot.org/story/08/01/12/1424209/intel-employee-caught-running-olpc-news-site http://news.slashdot.org/story/08/01/12/1424209/intel-employ... The comments there are enlightening. It seems the website (the very website linked here) was established in order to spread mostly-negative news about the OLPC. The main author was in a partnership with Intel. Intel had (has?) a competing product aimed at education: The Classmate PC. So it's no wonder this is the first site to report "OLPC is dead." Maybe it is, but it was a worthy humanitarian project and some paid shills were strafing it from this blind for its entire lifecycle. Edit: Seems like about half the articles on the site are laughably negative. Pretty great wolf-in-sheep infowar here.
