Re: The problem is SELF-INTEREST is not COMMON-INTEREST said by karlmarx:Getting a computer at the lowest price running linux goes against everything the megacorps stand for. They are WORKING to MAINTAIN their 'effective monopoly' position, and anything that works against their goal, is by definition, a threat. .....corrupt and EVIL megacorp executives. selling as many chips as possible, at the highest average price, is what intel does.
Not only, is it not corrupt and evil, it is the fiduciary responsibility of the executive at any company to do everything possible in the interest of the stockholders.
Since there is far more need for computers in developing nations then the "one laptop per child" program can provide alone, intel can sell/provide there product to those areas with slightly higher budgets then the minimum that OLPC charges.
I'm not sure where you think the money comes from to pay for either effort without "for profit" industries. |
