Yes, no whisper of broken scientific laws or free energy. They are merely tapping energy by exploiting a parallel universe adjacent to ours. This is scandalous! This must stop!
But hey, we love Thane Heins. Heins knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why does his contraption contain hazardous substances that other companies have abandoned? A cutting edge inventor shouldn't be cutting lives short by exposing children in China and India to dangerous chemicals. That's why we Slashdotters need to demand a new, cool product: a greener perpetual machine!
Richard, you are wrong. You said very clearly in your interview that the OLPC contains non-free software. It does not. It is just a scaffold of Makefiles containing URLs, and an occasional patch here or there. You are just plain wrong. And you are not enough of a man to admit that you are wrong. I may be unfriendly at times, but you are a power-misusing hypocritical liar who attacks projects that try harder than any others to only make free software available. Shame on you, bearded communist hippie.

I'm not Filipino, but I've been there a couple times and there are some reasons I can think of which make it a good place to house a data center:
1) Filipinos speak impecibly good English with little or no accent. I have no issue understanding them.
2) Philippines is a very westernized place; it would be easy for a western-based company to work or conduct business there.
3) They love Linux in the Philippines;-) Of course they love Linux all over asia, but a lot of Philippines businesses are warming up to Linux. Also, they love everything about American culture there so it would be a fun place to work. Good point, but unfortunately, Google is not trying to build a call center. The Philippines still needs to beef up its infrastructure. Strong winds often knocks out aging power lines in some provinces and causes blackouts that last for days.
I still wish that Google would set up its data center here though. This would at least lessen talent poaching by Japan and Singapore.

Do you really think that some OC Slashdotters would want to do kino on some random strangers? The germs, the germs! I must get back inside my bubble!

I'm currently googling for pics, but nothing comes up except for similarly-worded pages. Please post URL (via Coral) if you find one.
If I can find my parallel self in a parallel universe, would it be OK to make out with my own self?
Since carbon nanotubes don't exhibit any toxicity, I can imagine that future nanites would be made out of this material.
You can connect it to an external monitor. The resolution is a bit limited though, but it's probably OK. YMMV.

Because in Soviet Russia, viruses infect YOU, duh.
