OLPC Fork Sugar On a Stick Goes 1.0

Marten writes "It was more than a year ago that Walter Bender left OLPC and started SugarLabs.org. Now, the first version of the new project has been released. Sugar on a Stick is a USB drive that runs on Mac and PC-style hardware. 'The open-source education software developed for the "$100 laptop" can now be loaded onto a $5 USB stick to give aging PCs and Macs a new interface and custom educational software.' Bender said, 'What we are doing is taking a bunch of old machines that barely run Windows 2000, and turning them into something interesting and useful for essentially zero cost. It becomes a whole new computer running off the USB key; we can breathe new life into millions of decrepit old machines.'"

Notice how the only hardball question was thrown by Fox News' Major Garret. Also notice Obama's response to that question, essentially, "These are not the droids you're looking for." Somewhere deep inside Russia, the editor of Pravda is having a good laugh...
