I am not worried for OLPC used as a toy, as this is how children learn. Some will be used as toys by grown children, yes, but many will be used by adults to educate themselves to their full potential, which is expensive (in books) and much more difficult (special scools) today. Go OPLC!
Sounded like a good idea, organizing content thru metainformation across different formats. But I began to be wary at "leveraging" and they lost me totally with "consumer". I will not voluntarily have anything to do with anybody who regards people as consumers. Seems like another "Intelligent agent" to me. I'll stick with Google for a while, they do use metainformation and seems to find information when I need it.
Well, show me a layout like in modern 1U servers, let the air flow from the front to the back, let me put a dustscreen in front and stack the cases. I would also like to be able to leave a beer on top without worrying about spillage or dropping small things into the case, but now the idea is not patentable any more I better stop before I block further advancement in case technology.
In Norway thorium is seriously considered for solving the energy crisis. Firstly, it is usable in safe reactors, you need exitors to start and maintain the reaction. Secondly, these exitors may be nuclear waste, so we may buy it cheaply. Thirdly, there is a lot of it here. Here is a link to an article, sorry it is in norwegian.

A variation on this measures the time output is in one state and compares it to previous/next period.
If the next 1 appears sooner than the last 1 appears output 1, else 0. ( If time is equal or too long output nothing. )

Should be sufficent for most people.
Repeat one time for each tinfoil layer on your everyday hat.
A 520mA PTC current limiting device who can reset itself when the load is removed costs about 1 $ here in Norway, bought over the counter.
Omitting this saves money for Microsoft, benefiting YOU, as a customer buying a cheaper product. Thanks, networkBoy, for directing my attention to this situation, rest assured that the box did not die in vain, but enlightened people all over the world in its demise.

"unauthorized charging device" is a crucial pice of information. You may have invalidated your warranty with all these unauthorized electrons from the Linux box.
OTOH, an USB port should be able to source 5V, 500 mA if I recall the specs correctly. Most ports are protected by PTC fuses, which resets themselves after a short circuit when they cool down. This is plenty for a 3.6V telephone battery, and internal circuitry in battery or phone usually restricts the current to a safe level. This is not a statement that YOUR combination of USB, battery or telephone may work, just a statement that MY combo seems to do the trick modulo 4 hours of charging time.

Ah, improvements - not different implementation.

And no proprietary features added this time!
Thank you Chris - this explains a lot...
In my experience, the 'boot virus protection feature' just compare the first parts of the harddisk with a known checksum. When you first turn it on, there is no (valid) checksum, it will be generated on next boot. You can then 'accept the change' and a new checksum will be generated. The next reboot should give no warning. False virus warnings will be given on installing XP or LILO or a new harddisk.
Well, I find it very readable, easy to skim thru, and informative.
Usually I turn off web page specified colors, fonts and sizes, disable flash and javascript, all plugins, animated gifs and external links.
This forces me to wade thru HTML source if I really want the information on some sites, but I can use Internet Explorer without reinstalling daily, and are not bothered by jumping, distracting ads.
Thus I see The Internet as a wast, calm pool of information, and useit.com is a pearl.

Iceweasel 2.0.0.6 seems to stop it with the 'Warn me when sites try to install add-ons' option enabled, even if I have Java enabled.

Whoops, sorry - add CRLF-s as needed. Why is preview different from post presentation?
