Nicholas Negroponte's concept of supplying laptops to some of the world's poorest children, is rapidly gaining support from academics, journalists and world leaders. Indeed, Brazil's president, Lula da Silva, and members of his cabinet, met recently with Negroponte to discuss the proposal, with very encouraging results. A prototype of MIT Media Lab's notebook for third world kids, may be seen as early as November at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunisia. Children in Brazil, China, Egypt, Thailand, and South Africa will likely be amongst the first to receive them.

Forget cable locks folks, IBM india has devised a new fingerreader for select Thinkpad T42 models, that could well be thefuture of laptop security.

".....The first biometric ThinkPadcombines a fingerprint reader with an Embedded SecuritySubsystem, providing a layer of security that is built in, notbolted on...."

The ThinkPad T42 is barely 1 inch thick and weighs around 2.2Kgs. With the nine cell extended battery option this notebook canoperate for upwards of seven and a half hours.....Impressive!
