… should definitely read the New York Times’s article from today. A friend sent me an article about a puck crazy town in the northern parts of Sweden. I have only been there once, when I was driving back with my oldest brother eating burgers, but just being there for such a short while I too felt the hockey religion there. What about the burger? Yes that too was great.

Yet another example of problems with the current formulation of Web 2.0. Many sites have underestimated the community aspects and the loose publishing form. I do think something more intelligent is needed as a backend solution that currently to counteract the problems with the loose behavior yet providing the user with the best possible content.

I just read that the OLPC now is 75% more expensive than planned. It will be very interesting to see the reactions from the countries who signed up who now will need to cough up 75% more in costs. It is also an adjustment of $25 since only a month ago. It is also interesting that the Intel Classmate PC is only $75 more expensive. It seems to me that the visionary project underestimated challenges of the project.

You can read more about the changes of prices here.
