XO Laptop holiday programs successful
I talked about the XO Laptop "Give One, Get One" program in my N&R piece about cool tech gifts for the holidays.
The program, which allows you to buy one of the innovative stripped down laptops if you buy another for a child in a developing country, apparently had a great holiday season.
Engadget reports that 150,000 laptops were sold to the public and the program will likely be repeated next year.

I love this. A lot of people roll their eyes at the idea of spreading internet access when food, shelter and democracy are so scarce, but I think making massive amounts of free information readily available leads to all three.
