Although you aren’t likely to need a hand warmer when the temperatures in some areas of the country are creeping into triple-digits, it’s never too early to start dreaming of winter. Moreover, it’s always a good time to compliment your Hello Kitty foot warmers and heating blanket with a couple of matching hand warmers, and this here gizmo provides the last missing piece in the aforementioned triangle.

Could the next laptop to emerge from the OLPC organization be powered by Intel chips? That’s the suggestion of OLPC News, which sees the FAQ attached to Intel’s announcement of joining the board at OLPC as a sign that Intel’s chips could work their way into the XO-2. At the very least, the servers that support the $100 XO PCs will be Intel based: quoting from the FAQ, it says that “OLPC is planning to add Intel Xeon processor based servers to their product offerings.” Intel is also taking steps to develop a system board for the next gen XO, although all designs are subject to OLPC approval.
