The OLPC in the wild. Making children in poverty better and brighter. The mix of Linux, Python, and other custom bits make the OLPC a real winner.

Yes the OLPC isn't just cheap, it does some incredible things. For example, get 10 OLPCs together and they combine their network power to increase their broadcasting range. These little machines do tons of awesome things, and are technological masterpieces.
