Raspberry Pi

Heard of it? Anyone have it?

It's basically a super cheap, tiny computer that ships w/ a Linux distro (Debian I think?). Around $35. If you have one, what are you doing with it?

Like this dude who turned it into a garage door opener that works w/ Siri, lol.

I haven't used the RPI yet, but I have a few Arduino's, and from what I gather, the Arduino is still better in nearly all departments. But I'm happy to see some stronger competition, because embed-homebrew went to sleep when good SoC ETX's were getting serious delays from manufacturers.

If Apple made it then it wouldn't be $35 it would be $999 LOL

See them on tech sites all over the place, but never played with one.

Step 1: Take RPI, place in shiny aluminum case.
Step 2: Come up with a stupid name. Maybe iPi ?
Step 3: Markup price by 5000%
Step 4: Tons of trendy marketing campaigns
Step 5: Watch the stock price go up as all the hipsters buy them in droves
