To be clear, Negroponte hasn't left OLPC - that's just Vota's (misleading) headline. But the organization is searching for a new CEO, according to a Business Week article. This is either the end for OLPC or the new beginning the organization has needed as its plan to sell laptops a million at a time has fallen far short of such lofty goals. "I say that this is the first step in the departure of Nicholas Negroponte himself.... No, there can only be one head chief in the kitchen. So no matter if Negroponte intends for his CEO search to be his exit or not, if we want OLPC to rebound, it has to be. And without a MiniMe."
