news from around the world

On my BBC catch up I found this cool article about laptops for developing countries. While I will still take the stance that developing countries need more than laptops, I'm happy that their populations can take part in youtube, google and perhaps reading my blog.

(On a side note, a good portion of my job goes to editing cv's...I've developed a new cv pet-peeve: people that write "surfing the internet" as an interest. Just a little too honest for my taste I guess.)
