RE: OLPC faces 'vicious' rivalry in laptop market

You're as bad as the other guy. Do you think there is such a thing as friendly competition? Or co-operative competition? There is only one way to compete and that is totally, 100%, all out. Anything else is a cartel with market allocation, price fixing, no-compete deals etc. Sound familiar? Sound illegal? All you NGOists need to get real. With a bit of all-out, red in tooth and claw competition for this alleged billion unit market you'll see good product - not some jokey lash-ups - at a price point well below your 100$. ASUS are nearly there already and they're not even targetting this market - yet... And then there's re-cycling... TVs with browsers.. Mobile phones with browsers.. Who needs a PC?
