In an unsurprising turn of events, AMD honcho Hector Ruiz has taken advantage of a recent interview to verbally smack up competitor (and market kingpin) Intel. In the midst of a sit-down, the chipmaker’s CEO claimed that rival Intel was playing a game of catch up to AMD’s innovation, stating, “If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel.” Ruiz went on to blast the Santa Clara-based company, saying that, “Intel continues… to abuse their monopoly and that’s why around the world governments and regulatory agencies continue to go after them.” Hey — at least he doesn’t seem to be feeling bitter about the whole thing.

All steam ahead for the OLPC Foundation, which recently received an order from Peru for 260,000 of the little XO laptops. Also news is that Mexican billionaire and Negroponte’s chum Carlos Slim has purchased 50,000 for his country. That’s against a background of $2 million sales a day on the Give One, Get One program. Clearly, the OLPC Foundation is the most successful program out there for getting laptops into the hands of schoolchildren.
