...laptop quickly found backing from, among others, Google, Red Hat, Advanced Micro Devices and Nortel. His team is still making prototypes, but a finished motherboard was delivered in April. A wind-up crank has been replaced by a new foot pedal to supply power in areas lacking electricity. "The actual decision to make millions of laptops will happen sometime in December or January," he says, predicting that finished machines could be ready by next spring. He hopes to start in seven countries - Nigeria, India, China, Thailand, Brazil, Argentina and Egypt - with a combined total of at least 5 million orders...

His character is so poorly written and socially ignorant you almost want Thornton to sling blade him out of existence. Supporting roles from Sarah Silverman (“Jesus is Magic”), David Cross (“Arrested Development”) and Ben Stiller...

Garrigan finds himself as the personal doctor to dictator Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker) and is forced to find a new understanding of “making a difference.” When Garrigan meets Amin, Amin is the glowing leader of the latest coup...
