So Intel has jumped off the board of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project (more from Catherine Howell, more from the BBC, more from Wesley Fryer), and Charbax (whoever that is, I can't find a name anywhere) suggests that "Intel did not achieve or want to achieve any of these technological and pricing advancements in an Intel-powered XO and thus in fear of being ridiculed at CES with a more expensive Intel-powered XO with shorter battery life, Intel, as a last resort, decided to quit OLPC and blame it on Nicholas Negroponte." Maybe. It might also have to do with whether or not the OLPC will ever run Windows. Related: is the XO a hardware and software success? Maybe more the former than the latter.
