The people behind the very cool $100 laptop project might make their revolutionary gadget available by Christmas. The crank-powered laptop would be marked up to about $300-$500. We just hope that some (or all) of this money helps get these laptops into the hands of children around the world.
Finally, there’s nothing like a little guerrilla gardening to make us happy.
