Reports that Brazil, Nigeria, Argentina and Thailand have each committed
to buying a million laptops from the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) programme
are "incorrect", a spokesperson for the project has told ZDNet UK.
"We have not signed any agreements for orders, but we are in communication
with the countries mentioned. OLPC has asked that all interested parties
wait to see a working machine before placing their orders," the
spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Nice. I wonder if Program Director for Middle East and Africa Khaled
Hassounah, the source of yesterday's 4 million orders story is looking for
a new job now?
Ouch. On the flip side, this could have been a linguistic translation
problem between program directors. That's the best case I could offer...
the worst case is over-exuberance or outright lieing. I'm happier
thinking it was a translation wobble.
