I don't normally complain about this type of thing, but that was a really obscure headline. I've read multiple times about this project and didn't really recognize Quanta or the OLPC XO as the $100 laptop.Interesting post though, despite the weirdly obtuse lead-in.

Probably the same reason that New Orleans still looks like a bomb hit it.

From wikipedia:The Children's Machine, also known as XO-1 and previously as the $100 Laptop, is a proposed inexpensive laptop computer intended to be distributed to children around the world, especially to those in developing countries, to provide them with access to knowledge and modern forms of education.And geeks/hackers would want it because it is cheap (disposable) but functional.
