Walter Bender Resigns From OLPC

westlake writes "Walter Bender, the former executive director of MIT's Media Lab, and, in many ways, the tireless workhorse and public face of OLPC, has resigned from OLPC after being reorganized and sidetracked into insignificance. The rumor mill would have it that 'constructionism as children [learn] learning' is being replaced by a much less romantic view of the XO's place in the classroom and XO's tech in the marketplace."

Did his final words as he left have anything to do with biting his shiny metal ass? Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine! I'll go build my own laptop, with blackjack... and hookers! In fact, forget the laptop and the blackjack!
