There is some interesting developments in the "One Laptop Per Child" group. I found this article on the BetaNews.com website.Posted by Administrator
After the One Laptop Per Child project was sued by Nigerian keyboard manufacturer LANCOR in January for $20 million and an injunction on the OLPC XO was imposed in Nigeria, the case has taken root in US federal court.
The suit claims that OLPC used the Lagos Analysis Corp's (LANCOR) multilingual keyboard design in its low-cost XO laptop without permission. Through litigation in Nigerian court, the company has effectively crippled the OLPC project in that country.
LANCOR announced in February that the Lagos federal high court "rejected OLPC's bid to dismiss the case," and extended the Motion on Notice which temporarily prohibits OLPC from distributing its laptops in the country.
Documentation of this motion is available from the OLPC wiki. The non-profit organization, along with the other companies detailed in the suit -- The Growing Business Foundation, Leapsoft Ltd., and Alteq Ltd. -- attempted to dismiss the case on the grounds that, among other things, it is "wholly incompetent, vexatious, and a gross abuse of the process of court."
The document of the case thus far also shows the court's acknowledgment that LANCOR both misrepresented and concealed material facts from the case.
OLPC sought absolution from the court in Massachusetts, where LANCOR is headquartered. This week, the case has been escalated to the federal court system based on a countersuit from LANCOR.
This is like suing the red cross, it is an organization for a good cause and this lawsuit might tear down the project, or at least cripple it. Poor kids.

Finally, I found some time to get some work done on my site. I took the time to add new videos to my video pile. There is a video about tech support, if you don't mind the language, it is very funny.Posted by Administrator
I also added a new poster to the pile, it is about Rule #34, in the rules of the internet. If you don't know what that rule is, it goes as follows: "If it exists, there is porn of it." It's not dirty, but it is funny. Check it out
I added my review of the movie Jumper that I saw a while ago with my girlfriend. Check that out as well.
I also added a FTP applet so I can share my files with my friends and such, If you need to see the files, email me and I can give you the password. If I don't know you, you are just SOL, sorry!
Also, everyone is still welcome to sign my guestbook and add links to their blogs or favorite website in the links section.
That's it for now, see you all soon!
