The Amazon OLPC XO Give 1-Get 1 laptop program is now live. Here’s how it works: For $399 you get one OLPC XO laptop sent to you and another one is sent to a child in the developing world. Quite the novel concept. This deal has been going on since last year in certain areas but Amazon really gives it the mass-market push it deserves.

For you stingy types, Amazon also allows you to buy just one OLPC XO for $199.

If you are a Gmail user, head over to your account settings and select "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" to enable the newly added IMAP access option. If you don’t know what the Internet Message Access Protocol is, this system allows you to access mail directly on the Google servers instead of downloading it to your computer. That way, if you access mail from multiple devices, your inbox and mail folders will look the same from every one of them. Gmail’s IMAP setup page includes tutorials for Outlook, Apple Mail, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, and, you guessed it, the iPhone.

If you already knew how to do this, you sir/madam are a smarty pants and should have alerted me before hand in the comment section below
