Things don't seem to look good based on Ivan Krstić blog the director of security architecture for OLPC

Between his blog and the write up over at ars things don't look too rosey for them. Plus intel is readying its competitor to OLPC.

Technically it is impressive but I think kids who need these also need lots of other things that are far more important anyway.

From what showed up on slashdot, it sounded like he'd left because he'd been told to work with an intellectual piker who just didn't understand

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.
