Those are all good reasons to get a Raspberry Pi, but for me the top reason is because of the community that exists around the PI.

Anytime I have a question, or if I need to figure out how to do something new, there will be some clever friendly person who has either done it before and made their code available, or someone who will give me a pointer towards getting it done myself.

Every other Raspberry Pi killer I've seen touted around the place lacks that and so they don't "Destroy" the Raspberry Pi after all.

I think this is a very good example. I have bought several older titles from Steam because it's easy and priced correctly ($3 for an old game is fine by me). Steam also makes it easier than pirating.

This is correct.

When George Bush II was challenged about the oil companies writing his energy policies, he said "Ya gotta dance with those what brung ya".

This article explains quite well.

I'd like to meet one of these users. I support Windows machines, and I've never had a customer mention the Windows store. Mostly they just want me to show them how to turn off the creepy stalking crap in Windows 10.

That's me. I'm an old gamer so Pokémon seemed like fun, it was free, and I could play while I walk the dog.

After a few weeks the novelty has worn off and I'm back to looking forward to Civ VI coming out.

I wouldn't think so, most people want battery life of a day or so. You won't get that with x86.

That's a generalisation, but it could well be true. The only time I have ever seen this in action was about 10 years ago when my older son was about 8 and the school decided to have this after school "Learn to Programme" programme.

The woman who ran it was a really clever enthusiastic young person who clearly enjoyed what she was doing, and wanted to encourage girls to follow in her footsteps, and she got exactly no girls in the class after the second week, because the girls thought it was hard.

Hardly a scientific example, but my son was not surprised, even at eight years old.

I don't live in the US, but I do live in a 5 eyes country, so I have often wondered whether the Police in my country have any of these devices. My expectation is that they do have them, and they use them a lot, but won't respond to a FOI request on National Security grounds. As far as I am aware no-one has asked.

I have a Canon EOS 550d, marketed as the Rebel 2 (?) I think in the US 5 or so years ago when it was new. It has an 18.4 mega pixel sensor.

The Canon 5d mark IV has a 50 mega pixel full frame (35 mm film equivalent), although that is considered a pro level camera.

Having said that, I have seen at the camera club I attend an image taken on an iPhone 4 win the top prize for the night. Taken by a very skilled photographer though.

Like I plan on doing with my 3 year old Samsung Galaxy S4 again.

New battery costs about 25 of my local dollars.

Its a perfectly good phone and does everything I need it to.

Please don't feed the trolls.

So your niece is stupid. Since when is that Niantic's problem?

Any 21 year old with no self control is just a poorly raised child.

The only thing of interest to me in TFA is that Flipboard is actually a company with an office, and presumably staff.

I assumed it was just bloatware Samsung created for smartphones, which everyone disabled because it's terrible.

If they have offices and presumably staff, someone must be paying Flipboard money.

What a weird world we live in.

Neither party is interested in your money. You're not a huge corporation.

So yes, it's a Tablet.
