We went to the planets with a fraction of this much processing power.

Upton promised 100,000 units available straight away, with Sony's plant in Pencoed, South Wales, churning out more at the rate of "thousands a day".

It looks like first world countries can still manufacture inexpensive electronics. One doesn't HAVE to go to Red China.

I’m a reasonably technical guy, and this article strikes me as pretty densely geeky. A lot of vocabulary for the initiated, and plenty of language to make the unwashed glaze over.

Okay, I will reveal my ignorance. What is it? A computer motherboard? A new fast cpu chip? How do you use it?

Awesome. Ok, what exactly does one do with this SuperCharged turboblasted GreaseSlapper? I have never seen one.

Do they manufacture their own turbochargers, or do they source them from someone like Garrett?

Put this in a case with a touch screen and you have a Linux/Win10 tablet. Win10 is to be FREE for this board.

Just bought 2 of the Model B+ :-(
But I’m sure I will find a task for them to perform :-)

Gotta get me some of these new model 2s for sure.

In a couple of years the Pi will probably be a quad core at 2.0Ghz or more with 4Gb ram or more and a better GPU.

Nice. I’d love to play with one of these sometime. Raspberry Pis strike me as an inexpensive way to put together a small Web or file server that you can just stash out of the way.
