Cheap to produce. Simple to use. Shipped to the poor and needy in foreign markets. Hummm now what export does that remind me of. Oh yah, the AK-47. We all know how good that worked out for us. Except the cheap laptop is infinantly more dangerous than the battle implement that has killed more people than any other weapon in the history of war. See, an AK-47 cant follow you home. A pissed off anti-american hacker can.
Interesting comment that I forgot to mention at the time. Seems a little alarmist…
