"Repeated calls and e-mails to OLPC and Negroponte seeking comment on
OLPC did not receive a response."

As is often the case, some factual inaccuracies, a two-year-old
screenshot, and no mention of Sugar.

Interesting anecdotes about combating teacher absenteeism though, and
analysis suggesting that teacher training dramatically improves
learning with computers.
