One Laptop Per Child

I'm really excited about the One Laptop Per Child project. When I first heard about it a couple of years ago, it sounded like fantasy. But I was glad to find that they're now close to production! It's also cool to hear that the Taiwanese computer manufacturer, Quanta, is participating in the project.

Mongolia

Taiwan wants to be sovereign and so does Tibet. That got me thinking, how did Mongolia ever get away?

Turns out Russia backed them and they were also communists. Go figure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolia.
