Dell just posted a $400 deal for the Vostro 1000 laptop computer, with Windows XP Home or with Vista Home Basic. That's the same price of both the Asus Eee PC and the OLPC, which are no where near full-featured computers.
The last time we wrote about the One Laptop Per Child program was late September when it was announced that they'd go on sale starting November 12th. Consumers who want to buy one will be required to actually purchase two -- one for them, and one to give. This "Give 1 Get 1" program will cost $399, and is still set to start on November 12th.

Technology is something that has greatly evolved over time, but in order to find the good stuff we had to go through the bad stuff first. Computer World put together a great article today that details what they believe are the 10 biggest technology flops of the past 40 years.
Modern laptops continue to get more powerful and smaller in size, but we can’t forget about the predecessors that led to the notebooks that we have today. PCWorld put together an article outlining the top-10 most important laptops of all time where they outline the significance of each one. So what laptops made the list?
Intel’s newest creation is sure to turn some heads being that it is only 0.7–inches think and a mere 2.25–pounds! Ziba has designed the new laptop that not only looks sleek and fashionable, but it’s also usable!
