Whoops, missed that 'In Development' heading. Though there is a NON-DNA modified strawberry listed with the 'messenger' products. Not quite GM but closer than I like.
the article stated: "In Luquia, Justo Miguel ComÃn, a fifth-grader who is the youngest of seven children of subsistence farmers, was delighted to get his laptop in late April. "I like the math games, and I love the camera," he said two weeks later. [...] Yet when BusinessWeek asked her son detailed questions, it became clear he didn't fully understand the computer's capabilities"
--wow... a fifth grader can't completely understand the full capabilities of a new piece of technology in TWO WEEKS. Maybe they should ask him again in two months, or six months.
Heck, my great-grandmother spent her whole life thinking that soap operas on TV were as real as news reports.
