Well, until the hacker news is in place I beleave this deserves to be said.. Hackers in Britain hacked a very well used train station and the results were truly fatal.

Using the information they extracted almost 22 thousand Euro. thats almost 26.2 thousand USD. The hackers amazingly remained anonymous and the government is just now going into investigation.

The \'Green Machine\' a nick name for the new laptop created by MIT (Masichusis Institute of Technology) which will only cost $100 . This Laptop, which features a 500MHz processor and only 1Gb of memory but with 4 USB ports and a built in Networking Card has been hailed a God send by many chatiry agencies because of its massive implications in not only the education of these children, but helping to make sure they are not forgotten by keeping them up to date with modern technology to provide them a future. Another feature many of you will love is the fact that because of cost and hardware issues it will run on linux[ As it\'s free and uses less system resources.] and obivously they massive amount of small linux distros means its ideal for such a simple laptop. Unfortunatly this laptop will not be availible unless you live in a 3rd world( developing) country as it wont be up for sale.
