The OLPC Laptop XO-2

The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) plans for a second-generation XO laptop (XO-2), as well as an interim update to the systems. OLPC XO laptops are designed to provide students with low-cost access to technology. OLPC said the target price for the next-generation machines will be $75.

Targeting a price of $75 for the new units, OLPC will be reducing the number of moving parts in the machines and using new display and processor technologies. The machines will also be smaller and will consume just 1 watt of power--one-half to one-fourth of the current XO's power consumption and somewhere between one-twentieth and one-fortieth the power consumption of standard laptops.

In addition, the machines will have enhanced dual-display capabilities with touch-sensitive screens.

The XO-2 is targeted for a 2010 launch.

The car weighs in at 2750 lbs, resulting in weight to horsepower ratio of 2.33 — a record for a production car. In addition to being able to go well over 250 mph, the Ultimate Aero can go from 0-60 in 2.78 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds at 144 mph and circle the skidpad at 1.05 g.

The Ultimate Aero is one of the most extreme vehicles on the road today, achieving incredible performance via its twin turbo V-8 engine. With an incredible 1,183-horsepower and 1094 ft.-lbs. of torque there is simply no other production car that can match the impressive raw power of the Ultimate Aero . Combine supreme power with its lightweight, aerodynamic body and the best handling systems available and SSC has delivered a vehicle that not only eclipses the performance of much more expensive vehicles, the Ultimate Aero is fully capable of owning the title of the World’s Fastest Production Car.

About Technorati

Currently tracking 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.

Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”

Blogs are influential, personal, or both, and they reflect as many topics and opinions as there are people writing them.

Blogs are powerful because they allow millions of people to easily publish and share their ideas, and millions more to read and respond. They engage the writer and reader in an open conversation, and are shifting the Internet paradigm as we know it.

The World Live Web is incredibly active, and according to Technorati data, there are over 175,000 new blogs (that’s just blogs) every day. Bloggers update their blogs regularly to the tune of over 1.6 million posts per day, or over 18 updates a second.
