"As to children accessing pornography, the lab is working on how best to block harmful online content, he said. However, Negroponte asks people not to blame the medium. “Pornography uses the printed page, but [Johannes] Gutenberg [the inventor of the printing press] isn’t getting much flak,” he quipped."

The best part is the monitor will have a prehistoric bird inside chiselling the pixels with his beak.

The design is spectacular, really nice stuff, but the 100$ cost target is a pipe dream...

Think about it, how much is replacing the battery in your laptop? Does it feature a crank and charging mechanism? No, its just a battery... and it produced in gigantic volume...

unless it's black and white and runs on a Motorola 68000 CPU, I dont see it being <100$

well, certain laptops being released now have a retail price of $499 according to the compusa circular right now...so, how is $100 not possible?
