Doron's Take:
In reading the buzz around the below news today, it sounds like Intel didn't want to do what Negroponte wanted which was to stop selling its Classmate PC while it was part of the OLPC, which is currently shipping its XO laptop based on a chip from AMD.
CNET reports that after settling their dispute just 6 months ago, Intel and Nicholas Negroponte have parted ways. The two had joined forces in bringing PCs to children around the world.
Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project had brought Intel on board as a partner and a possible future supplier. Intel was the 11th member of the OLPC's board, joining other companies such as Google, eBay, Nortel and Intel's bitter rival Advanced Micro Devices.
