Raspberry Pi $25 Linux Computer Now In Production (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the cheap-computing-at-its-finest dept.

Timothy Lord caught up with Raspberry Pi product leader Eben Upton at CES. The long-awaited $25 Linux single-board computers are finally being shipped from the Chinese factory where they're being assembled and will be available for sale in just a few weeks. Eben talks not only about the Raspberry Pi boards and the add-on Gertboard, but about the eBay auction that helped finance Raspberry Pi. Timothy says he considers Eben Upton one of his "personal tech-world heroes." After watching this video, maybe he'll be one of yours, too. Read on below to watch.

  1. You need to have the Adobe Flash Player 9 to view by xororand · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I'm saddened by the fact that Slashdot staff deliberately ostracize non-users of the proprietary security nightmare that is Adobe Flash.
    Unlike open and standardized formats, Flash is not even available on most platforms.
    Slashdot, do you not remember your roots?
    It's 2012 and possibilities to publish video in open ways are ubiquitous.

    Vimeo, YouTube - both offer HTML5 video.
    Or, if you want to host on your own, use the relatively new GNU licensed MediaGoblin.

    There is always one human trying to squeeze more money out of the others. Shut the fuck up. Demand does not HAVE to mean increased profit you fucker.
