New Humanist Blog Tree of Life Web Project Naturalism_Org Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi is a $25 computer that is powerful enough to run Quake 3, a pretty intense 3D video game. It plugs straight into a TV with an HDMI output and it's designed to be cheap enough that anyone can buy. So why is the Raspberry Pi foundation, the organization behind this charming device, making the computers in the first place? We spoke with Eben Upton, executive director of the Raspberry Pi foundation to find out why. Here's what we learned: It's primarily intended for the education market. And here's the full interview: BUSINESS INSIDER: Why did you guys want to build such a cheap computer? Eben Upton: We came up with the idea because we'd been interviewing potential undergraduates to come to Cambridge university about 5 years ago. We looked around for reasons why this happened. I started looking for a way you could provide a machine cheaply enough that you could give you children, settling on this $25, $35 price point. BI: So it's a shot at getting kids to learn how to program?

Internet Sacred Text Archive Home 'Fabbers' could launch a revolution Lindsay France/University Photography Hod Lipson, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, right, and engineering graduate student Evan Malone work with a Fab@Home machine in the Computational Synthesis Lab in Upson Hall Feb. 22. On the stage is a Lego tire duplicated by the Fab@Home. The Altair 8800, introduced in the early 1970s, was the first computer you could build at home from a kit. It was crude, didn't do much, but many historians would say that it launched the desktop computer revolution. Hod Lipson, Cornell assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, thinks a little machine he calls a Fab@Home may have the same impact. Some day, Lipson believes, every home will have a "fabber," a machine that replicates objects from plans supplied by a computer. Such machines could evolve from the 3-D printers currently used by industrial engineers for "rapid prototyping." Lindsay France/U. "Fabbing" a Lego tire. Provided The Lego tire on the vehicle.
