Favorited Favorite 11 Introduction The Raspberry Pi is a cross between a typical embedded system -- like an Arduino -- and a desktop computer.
The Pi packs a 700MHz ARM11 Core with 512MB of RAM, HDMI and audio outputs, 2 USB ports, an Ethernet jack, and an SD socket with support for up to a 32GB SD card. In the eyes of some, it's one of the more powerful, cost-effective embedded boards to hit the market. To others, it's one of the most compact, bare-bones personal computers ever to grace the electronics world with it's presence.
The Raspberry Pi is a great platform on which to learn Linux and programming. And, of course, it can be used to play games. Chocolate Doom running on the Pi. Covered in This Tutorial. What is Minecraft: Pi Edition? Have you ever thought about learning to program?
Where would you begin? Ten pimped-out projects for the Raspberry Pi. 2013 will be an exciting year in the world of gadgets -- new game consoles are launching, gadgets to automate homes and improve health are popping up regularly, and this could finally be the year the mythical Apple TV ships.
While these are all undeniably cool, the gadgets that will really transform the future are being prototyped in hackerspaces and garages all over the world. Increasingly, the Raspberry Pi is the platform of choice for these forward-thinking gadgeteers. Makers are using the tiny $35 (£22) platform to help the blind, manage their email, play games -- even put on pyrotechnic stage shows that would make the most hardened hair band weep with joy.

Time-Lapse Dolly Moving time-lapse videos are a sweet art form, but kind of tricky to pull off. Raspberry Pi Review.
Back in personal technology prehistory—you know, before computers were idiot-proof enough to grace any living room—it was tough to use a PC without possessing an intimate understanding of how and why it worked.
The advent of prefabricated machines and graphical operating systems has helped the industry explode like those of us who witnessed its birth could never have dreamed of, but that remarkable success has come at the cost of the pioneering spirit that started it all. But all hope of regaining that foundational force it is not lost. The Raspberry Pi ($35, as tested), a tiny and brilliantly inexpensive proto-computer, encourages exactly the kind of exploration and tinkering that are nowadays often relegated to even the fringes of the DIY and enthusiast communities, and demands your active participation and intellectual engagement. But be forewarned: You cannot be a passive user. Programming the Raspberry Pi webinar with Eben, April 4. I can’t believe I’ve just typed the word “webinar”.
It’s a horrible neologism – right up there with “mentee” and “edutainment”. Still, a webinar is what Eben’s* doing, so that’s what we’re having to call it. We hope all you mentees will find it edutaining.
