    In reply to Steve Jobs Helped Negroponte With the OLPC Laptop
    I used to think getting a star was what commenting was all about. Now that I have an account, I see the real meat and potatoes are the grey comment underworld.

    That said: I'm sad that they are bending out of shape at the office but what I really think is that your "Mark Wilson" should STFU and try not to bad mouth the only people in the business attempting altruism.

    @Nathan Obbards: as is, the machine will withstand much more than the traditional laptop , and might even last longer.

    He can question it all he likes, but as a news reporter of sorts, he should have something to base such statements on. The above was nothing more than a baseless accusation that was stated as a fact.

    In reply to Steve Jobs Helped Negroponte With the OLPC Laptop
    After deploying 100 of these laptops over the summer to kids in Africa, I can say that while they haven't hit the $100 price point, as Americans we see a laptop for purchase. Developing countries also see a laptop but OLPC sees a huge enrichment to a child's education for under $200.

    Trust me, I know the flaws of this computer and have written a paper about it but the benefits are beyond checking Giz to see Steve Job's every move.

    Well, of course Steve Jobs is going to promote the healthy development of children in poor countries. Which other population do you think he will use to farm for organs as he ages? Plus, if theres one thing more rejuvenating than the blood of virgins, it's the blood of orphans.

    The Jobs helps us all, Jesus. He helps us simply by His presence on this (His) Earth. If more people realized that taking advice from The Jobs is a good, good thing, our economy would stabilize, world peace would be achieved, and no one would ever have to suffer through generic WinTel boxes again.

    @COCOViper: I'm not sure, having a picture of Steve Jobs made up of a bunch of negative things about Apple doesn't seem like adding to the lovefest. In fact, it seems dead-on to me (this is coming from a die-hard Mac user - the lovefest must end).

    In reply to Steve Jobs Approves Knocking Live Video App Personally
    I grabbed this app immediately, before it's not free anymore or before AT&T throws such a fit that Apple pulls it. I know the app is buggy and the servers overloaded right now but I don't care. I'm sure they will get it to work soon enough, and then it will be tons and tons of awesome. Visit the company's website - they are serious about this tech. Think about it: true video chat on the iPhone!!! We all wanted this for bloody ages. I know we don't have a front facing cam but I will take this over nothing in a heartbeat.

    What a surprise to log onto Giz this morning and find out about this app. This is the last thing I expected Apple to approve. I'm still trying to figure out why.

    I -still- hate it when people (attempt to) contact the head of a company to get what they want.

    In my mind, it's the same kind of thinking as those that call 911 everytime their burger isn't made to spec.

    @00000000: Ummmm... 911 is obligated to at least pick up the phone. So you're wasting tax dollars and putting the safety of others at risk. For something trivial.

    If you contact Steve Jobs, he doesn't have to even read your email. If he does and it's worthless, he only wasted his time and maybe let his coffee cool down a little. And when someone has spent a lot of time working on something, and this may be tied to their livelihood, it's not trivial.
