* XOs are already in schools in Peru and Uruguay. Mexico is

* Chip maker Intel Corp. broke its partnership with
  Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor
  Nicholas Negroponte's non-profit One Laptop Per
  Child (OLPC) project in January, a mere six months
  after forging it. On his second visit to India, Justin
  Rattner, Intel's chief technology officer, spoke to
  Mint on what caused the split, the way forward,
  what Intel is doing to bring down further, the power
  consumed by high-end processors and the future
  of computing technology.
