Notebook

Now this is out of the blue – I read “The notebook”. It was a gift and I surprisingly (to myself) liked it. If you plan to read one romantic love story a decade, this would be a good one to pick. Well since my sampling is essentially 1, this is not statistically significant recommendation!

one laptop per child can be bought, give 1 get 1 free

I was never a big fan of the one laptop per child. But the hardware in the laptop was just too cool. Now I can legally and without ethical qualms buy one. There is a “give 1 get 1 free” program – neat concept just philanthropy wise.

 The marketing program, to be announced today, is called “Give 1 Get 1,” in which Americans and Canadians can buy two laptops for $399.

One of the machines will be given to a child in a developing nation, and the other one will be shipped to the purchaser by Christmas. The donated computer is a tax-deductible charitable contribution. The program will run for two weeks, with orders accepted from Nov. 12 to Nov. 26.
