$100 Laptop gains interest from Apple

Apple, sometimes known to know a good thing when they see it– has taken interest in the MIT laptop program lead by Nicholas Negroponte. Negroponte is looking to place the laptop in the hands of 100-150 million students. Steve Jobs has reportedly offered to provide free copies of OSX for each one, although Negroponte declined because the operating system isn't open source. The response to this project has been overwhelming, with Brazil, Thailand, and Tunisia already showing strong interest in the laptops. Even Gov. Mitt Romney (Mass.) has reportedly proposed $54 million to purchase laptops for every middle and high school student in his state.
