| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
|  Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft ended up mocking a $100 laptop computer that apparently is being developed for poor countries with the support of Google. The unit is being developed at MIT. The $100 laptop computer projects seeks to provide inexpensive computers to underdeveloped nations. The computers are powered with a hand crank. The computers actually are lacking in many otherwise standard features, including a hard disk and software. The last thing you want in such a unit, Gates said, is something without a disk and with a tiny, little screen. If you are going to have people share a computer unit, Gates remarked, you want a decent computer on which you can read the text. You can't be sitting there trying to crank the thing to get it going while you are trying to type, he noted.
