Today, the buzz in the laptop world is surrounding the XO $100 computer, which is available in Europe for the first time this afternoon. Also, Wired has coverage of the ne “get one, give one” promotion from the company, which allows first-world users to pick up one of the laptops for $400 and, at the same time, have a second computer delivered to a child in a third-world county.
