William Machado's insight:

Una versión anterior iba a costar 100 dólares según Negroponte, pero resulto en algo más del doble, en esta nueva, ni siquiera comprometen un precio. Ese modelo 1:1, de una por niños, en todos estos años no ha dejado ver su pertinencia en las escuelas. Los estudios comparativos arrojan hasta hoy resultados inquietantes: no hay diferencia en el desempeño escolar entre quien usa y quienes no. ¿Estos gadgets serán señuelos?.

 

"One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) may not be ready to show off its XO-4 convertible laptop just yet, but chip manufacturer Marvell is demoing it at CES today all the same. The 7.5-inch tablet-laptop hybrid has an infrared touchscreen and is powered by a dual-core Marvell processor that the company says is "miles faster" than before. It'll arrive with either 1GB or 2GB of RAM and 4GB or 8GB of storage, and runs Linux (Fedora 18) with a custom software overlay that OLPC says is "designed for kids fingers." It's finished in the typical white and green OLPC style, along with chunky rotating colors. Marvell told us that it wasn't able to reveal pricing or release information, but OLPC will make an announcement "very soon."

Google+ Is Now The Number Two Social Network In The World

Google+ Is Now The Number Two Social Network In The World | Agentes de cambio | Scoop.it

Reports now show that Google+ has surpassed Twitter in active users and is second only to Facebook.


A new report by Global Web Index shows that Google+ has surpassed Twitter in active users and is second only to Facebook.

 

Technically YouTube was considered #3 and Twitter came in at #4 by the numbers. Although it is good to note that Twitter is actually the fastest growing of them all, with 40% growthin the last quarter.

Interesting that G+ ranks #2 with so few people actually using it as a network. Shows the power of Google that everybody feel like they have to belong to it but so many don't use it :-) Nobody wants to get left behind.

Do you believe that Google+ moved ahead of Twitter?
