It looks like Nicholas Negroponte has stepped down as Chairman of MIT’s Media Lab to pursue the $100 Laptop Initiative.
I’ve covered the $100 Laptop Initiative fairly well on this blog– here are a collection of links to previous posts:

It seems to me that this initiative is really picking up momentum!
