[Marketing] Ars Technica article on 250, 000 XO-1s for India: old Sugar home view in photo :-(

[Sean DALY]

Hi Christian, in fact I have a friend who is a studio photographer and
when I asked last week he offered to do ad-quality studio shots on a
white background.

He said he preferred adding screens in Photoshop, that it's too
complicated to direct light onto a computer without making the screen
look awful.

I have half a dozen XO-1s, a Classmate, an EeePC and and Acer Aspire One.

Ideally, shots with both v0.82 on an XO-1 and SoaS on the XO-1 and the
other machines woould be cool I think...
