Nationalized technology efforts are becoming more common as countries begin to question their reliance on foreign powers for the means to participate in modernity. China is starting to design its own processors, India is subsidizing a national tablet, and now Bangladesh (something less of a world power) has taken the wraps off a new line of ultra-cheap laptops.The computers are branded Doel, after the country's national bird (the magpie), and the cheapest comes to around $130, and runs Android. You scoff, but it's a free and popular OS with plenty of room for extensibility and customization. Sure, it won't run Crysis and the media player sucks, but it's more than sufficient for basic computing: browsing, word processing, and document management.
