    What happens if you give a thousand Motorola Zoom tablet PCs to Ethiopian kids who have never even seen a printed word? Within five months, they'll start teaching themselves English while circumventing the security on your OS to customize settings and activate disabled hardware. Whoa.

    Someone needs to step in, and help these kids towards higher levels of education.

    As I recall, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste".
