OLPC's Give 1 Get 1 Program Starts Now

The OLPC's Christmas initiative, also known as Give 1 Get 1, is starting now. What this means to you is you can pay $399 for two laptops, one of which you get to keep and the other you get to send to a child. The only caveat is that you can't specify where your donated laptop is going to go, in case you really want to be helping one country over another. But hey, you get a free copy of SimCity!.[Laptop Mag]

OLPC Production Hits Snag, Delay and Shortage Imminent

Some "last minute bugs" will push back the OLPC production process to November 12th, resulting in a shortage of computers available for a holiday program in North America and Canada. This Give-1-Get-1 program would have allowed buyers in the US an Canada to purchase a two computer package for $400, with one of the laptops shipped overseas to an underprivileged child. At this point, there is no telling how many laptops, if any, will be shipped for the program before the holidays. [Reuters]
