My Way News - Senate OKs War Bill With Iraq Timeline

My Way News - Senate OKs War Bill With Iraq Timeline: "With House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at his side, Reid said Democrats hoped to have a follow-up war-funding bill ready for the president's signature by June 1. Despite administration claims to the contrary, he said that was soon enough to prevent serious disruption in military operations. Several Democratic officials have said they expect the next measure will jettison the withdrawal timetable, a concession to Bush. At the same time, they say they hope to include standards for the Iraqi government to meet on issues such as expanding democratic participation and allocating oil resources."

My Way News - '$100 Laptop' to Cost $175

My Way News - '$100 Laptop' to Cost $175: "CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - The founder of the ambitious '$100 laptop' project, which plans to give inexpensive computers to schoolchildren in developing countries, revealed Thursday that the machine for now costs $175, and it will be able to run Windows in addition to its homegrown, open-source interface. Nicholas Negroponte, the former director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab who now heads the nonprofit One Laptop Per Child project, updated analysts and journalists on where the effort stands, saying 'we are perhaps at the most critical stage of OLPC's life.' That's partly because at least seven nations have committed to being in the initial wave to buy the little green-and-white 'XO' computers - Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Pakistan, Thailand, Nigeria and Libya - but it remains unclear which ones will be first to pony up the cash. The project needs orders for 3 million machines so its manufacturing and distribution effort can get rolling."
