New President for OLPC Organization

haroldag writes "After Walter Bender's resignation as president of OLPC, Charles Kane enters to take his place as the new boss. Kane says 'The OLPC mission is a great endeavor, but the mission is to get the technology in the hands of as many children as possible. Whether that technology is from one operating system or another, one piece of hardware or another, or supplied or supported by one consulting company or another doesn't matter. It's about getting it into kids' hands. Anything that is contrary to that objective, and limits that objective, is against what the program stands for.'"

    Bender Resigned? I guess that means Flexo's in charge?

    Fry: Wait, hold on. I don't like the sound of that. Let's just go alphabetically.
    Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.
    Fry: Wait, let's go by rank.
    Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.
    Fry: Flexo outranks me?
    Flexo: That's "Flexo outranks me, sir"!
