Raspberry Pi For the Rest of Us 170

Posted by timothy on Thursday September 20, 2012 @05:30PM from the bootstraps-for-all! dept.

mikejuk writes "The Raspberry Pi might be a cheap and reasonably powerful but it has a tough learning curve due to the Linux OS it uses. Adafruit, better known for their hardware, are working on a WebIDE which you can use to program the Pi without having to set things up. You write the code in a browser and run it on the Pi using a web server hosted by the Pi. It sounds crazy but if it can make the Pi more approachable then perhaps it could turn out to be an educational powerhouse."

arielCo writes "There are several reports in the news about an explosion in a Foxconn factory in Chengdu that manufactures the iPad 2, killing two workers and injuring another 16. 'The Chengdu Municipal government said the explosion occurred in Foxconn's "polishing plant" at around 7 p.m. Experts say it is likely a cleaning stage at the end of the production process after devices are assembled.' There's a short amateur video of the ensuing fire, taken during the evacuation. Apple said they are working with Foxconn to investigate."

Yeah, but what part of the country are you in? They only have one distribution center, and it's in California. I'm all the way on the east coast, so it can take a few days for a game to get here. :( I cancelled my Gamefly membership pretty quickly.

They promise more DCs, but I don't think they have any more yet. Netflix should jump on video game rentals.
