Use your iPod to study and learn better ...
I just found out that Apple launched the iTune U in their iTune Store last year, which offers free educational materials from colleges and universities, so that users can easily search, download, and play course content just like they do music, movies, and TV shows. I haven't been keeping up with the latest technology .. sigh ....
iTunes U makes it easy for anyone to access amazing educational material from many of the most respected colleges and universities. Stanford, Harvard, Yale, MIT, you name it ... Simply download the contents and transform your iPod to a learning device, learning on the go has never been easier.
Warning: However, there will always be some lectures by boring professors that will put you in sleep in less than 5 minutes.
Sometime it's the most challenging problem that has the simplest solution ...
Here's another great example of how challenging problem is solved by the simplest solution. Go watch how PlayPump Internationals help solving the problem of limited access to clean drinking water across Africa ! Simply clever !!

The One Laptop Per Child Project: The $100 laptop is now here.
Nicholas Negroponte's idea of "100-dollar-laptop" has come to life recently. The mission of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is to develop a very low-cost, high-potential, extremely rugged computer
for the two billion educationally underserved children in poor countries. The laptop is now called the XO, because if you turn the logo 90 degrees, it looks like a child. OLPC is now running the "Give 1, Get 1" program which allows consumers in the industrialized world to buy one computer and have a second donated to a student in a developing country. The price for an XO laptop now is $200 USD (they are expecting to lower the price in the next few years). So you pay $400 (www.xogiving.org). One XO laptop (and a tax deduction) comes to you by Christmas, and a second is sent to a student in a poor country. And this program runs until November 26th.
The reviews of the XO laptop I read so far are pretty amazing. Checkout the review below from New York Times and you will see a little demo of the XO laptop.
