Hacking One Laptop Per Child
I attended my first board meeting with MOUSE and they are a lucky recipient of one of five hundred working laptops used in the OLPC project. Its cool. Looks different from the prototype I saw a few months ago when I met with Negroponte. I would love to spend more time hacking it up, but I don’t want to risk damaging MOUSE’s. Ethan just pointed out a OLPC security page and a discussion about its Threats and Mitigation’s. Lets see how much time MOUSE lets me spend with the device.

The BIOS is able to reflash the operating system from a USB disk, so as long as you aren’t reflashing the BIOS there’s nothing you can do to make the machine unbootable. Hack away!
