Kathmandu, Nepal image - Cast-off Netbooks send home snapshots of 'afterlife' (photos) - CNET News: "They sent refurbished Netbooks to people in developing countries. The researchers set up the computers to record location and take pictures, and send the data home to MIT. The Netbooks carried stickers explaining the project in the local language."

This sounds like paying poor people (with a netbook) to give up their privacy (or even voyeurism). :-/
