Disney Plagarise The Lion King Storyline
This story has been circulating the net for years now, but I was thinking of sharing it with you guys. Remember the Lion King? The animated cartoon from Disney? Kimba the White Lion by Osamu Tezuka was released in the 70’s, where else The Lion King from Disney was release in the 90’s, considering the fact that both are 20 years apart, what are the odds that both of the storyline are somewhat identical, not similar but identical in almost every aspect.
Even the names “Simba” and “Kimba” comes so near, Disney deny that they steal the storyline from the Japanese artist, but that doesn’t matter because animated buffs believe that Disney ripped off Kimba to create The Lion King. Here are the scene by scene comparison, what say you? Coincidence?
OLPC to run Windows
Negroponte suggests the OLPC can support Windows, which is something not to many people’s liking, Bill Gates has a monopoly on the desktop market and won’t it be better if OLPC comes bundle with Linux or possibly a strip down version of MacOS X but that would be highly unlikely considering the fact that Apple is in a league of their own.
Another drawback would be the $176, up from the initial $100 price tag announced one year ago. OLPC’s target is one child a laptop, which is something I find almost impossible to achieve, considering the fact that the new price is $176, it doesn’t make economical sense to give or sell a unit to one child when three units of OLPC would be sufficient to buy a low end desktop and if the desktop is placed in a library, more than 3 children can have access to the computer. My bet is OLPC is as good as dead!
