BeagleBoard has kept our collective news-tails wagging with plenty of (often disparate) DIY hardware projects. Now, the BeagleBone ($89) has arrived, with Linux Angstrom preinstalled, and power provided through a USB port. Giving the hardware more of a chew reveals Open GL ES 2.0, a microSD connector and two 46-pin female expansion headers for easy augmentation. There’s also a 100Mbit Gigabit Ethernet connection on this new development platform, which promises to play nice with older BeagleBoard, er, boards. Serial (port) DIYers can check out a full run-down video after the break.

The One Laptop Per Child program has finally launched their Give 1 Get 1 Program today giving consumers the opportunity in the United States and Canada to purchase a laptop for their child or a child they know, and another one to give to a child in a developing nation. The price for the two laptops combined  is $399 and $200 of that donation is tax-deductible. Here’s the thing, if you want one, you’ll need to make the purchase soon because the program will end on November 26th, just 15 days from now.

Those that make a purchase (only in the U.S.) will be thanked with one free year of HotSpot access from T-Mobile which is a nice gesture, don’t you think? They place the value of this at $350.  HotSpot locations are commonly found at Starbucks, Borders, hotels, around airports, and other locations. A complete list of their Worldwide locations can be found here, and in the United States alone, there are over 8,587 locations.

If you’d like to order a laptop, you can do so online here. Ordering online will require a credit card or a PayPal account. You can also call 1-877-70-LAPTOP if you prefer to order over the phone.

I’m sure some of you are thinking to yourselves that $400 is an awful lot to spend for a computer that only has 1GB of Flash storage, a small 7.5 inch display and a limited amount of RAM (additional specs here). It is considering what you could get for that amount, but the whole idea behind the project is to empower the children of developing countries. Keep this in mind before you rule-out purchasing one.

One and a half months ago Dell announced a massive battery recall to deal with some complaints of batteries that were exploding. Recently Dell added 100,000 more computers to the list of machines that were being recalled but other companies are also stepping up now.

Sony, who was the manufacturer of the Dell batteries that are recalled, has also manufactured batteries for several other companies. Toshiba announced the recall a few weeks ago and IBM/Lenovo decided they would do the same. Their recalls are no where near the magnitude of Dell’s (4.2 million batteries) but it still affects 100,000′s machines.

I haven’t heard anything about Hewlett-Packard at this point but they also use Sony batteries. I’m sure it will only be a matter of time before they choose to avoid the risk of not recalling the batteries.

In an attempt to gain market share in the search arena, Microsoft has just announced a partnership with HP that will make their Live Search the default on Hewlett-Packard computers that are shipped in the United States and Canada. For first-time Internet users or casual users in general, they may not take the time to change the default to something else which could help Microsoft gain some ground in search.

The deal that Microsoft just made is by no means new. Those of you who recently purchased Dell computers know this first-hand because Google has partnered with Dell. Similarly, Yahoo has an agreement with Acer to provide various tools to the users and make Yahoo search the default. Previously Yahoo also had a deal with HP but now Microsoft is coming in and likely paying more than Yahoo to snag HP away. And here we thought there was going to be more computer companies moving away from installing bloatware. Anything for a buck, I guess…

For HP buyers in the U.S. and Canada that purchase a computer starting in January, here’s what to expect. First, Live search will be the default search engine in the browser on the computer. Secondly, and probably more annoying is that a custom version of Internet Explorer will come pre-installed that has a Live Search toolbar installed. The toolbar will make searching “more convenient” and it will also have links to some of HP’s services like Snapfish (digital photo service).

In the official Microsoft Press Release, Kevin Johnson who is the president of the Platforms and Services Division said, “This is the most significant distribution deal for Live Search that Microsoft has ever done, and we are very pleased to be partnering with HP to help bring live Search to millions of consumers across North America.” Significant it is because Microsoft has struggled to gain search users. This could certainly help…
