"At a politics online conference, I was surprised when someone told me they HATED the OLPC because the third world already had a computer--- the mobile phone.

The iPhone is celebrated because it took the leap of not allowing a carrier to determine the apps allowed and also created a simple way to allow that ecosystem to flourish. That little leap in the mobile phone evolution (albeit, the blackberry did the same before) is just a better place for the mobile phone to evolve." - Andrew Lee

You're absolutely right that life is too short to worry so feverishly about such things. It's a mix of emotions I think. Anyway, thanks for stopping by." - Andrew Lee
