Raspberry Pi $25 PC-updated

Raspberry Pi is a $25 Linux computer running Ubuntu 9.04 on a 700MHz......

A lot of schools in the US and abroad have such a tight budget that things for kids to learn with like computers are hard to come by. When I was a kid, we learned some basic computer programming in school, but today many schools simply tech a child how to use basic things on the computer like word processing and general computer skills. Some schools don’t have enough computers for the students to use and having enough machines for each student to take on home to learn on is generally out of the question.

David Braben from the UK has been working on an interesting project that is aimed at making a very cheap computer that schools can give to children and allow them to take home for use in learning computer science and how hardware works. Braben thinks that the state of education about computers in school today leaves a lot to be desired and even the little laptops like the XO from the OLPC are more expensive than many schools can afford.

The cool computer that Braben has developed is very small and looks more like a flash drive than a computer. The device uses a stick design with an HDMI port on one end and a USB port on the other. The HDMI port is used to shoot video out to a TV or display and the USB port on the other end is for connecting the computer. The hardware on the stick computer is a 700MHz ARM11 processor coupled with 128MB of RAM. The small stick computer has OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible graphics, and storage is taken care of by a SD card slot. The computer can also have accessories attached to it. In the photo, a 12MP camera is attached and the device runs Linux. The price for the hardware is only about $25 making this very affordable.

The computer has a USB port on one end and an HDMI port on the other to connect a keyboard and display, respectively. The device will also support touchscreens to create a tablet device, says the foundation. The Ubuntu 9.04-based device lacks Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but web connections can presumably be made via the USB port, with the help of a USB hub.

Raspberry Pi prototype bringing up the web, apparently with the help of a USB hub



Accroding to the Raspberry Pi website, provisional specs for the prototype include:

Processor -- 700MHz ARM11 with OpenGL ES 2.0
Memory -- 128MB SDRAM
Memory expansion -- SD/MMC/SDIO slot
Display:
1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode
composite output
HDMI output
I/O -- USB 2.0; GPIO
Software -- Ubuntu 9.04, Iceweasel, KOffice, Python

The goal of Raspberry Pi is to encourage direct hands-on experimentation in computer education, something missing from most current curricula, says Braben.

The $25 price may be possible because the device is not only missing a keyboard -- like the upcoming XO-3 and the still vaporish $35 tablet being developed by the Indian government -- but also omits the display. Still, one would assume that a considerable degree of charitable subsidization might be necessary to push out a $25 ARM11 computer with this device's HD-ready ARM11 processor and other extras.

U.K. developer David Braben has launched an OLPC-like foundation called Raspberry Pi, a tiny ARM/Linux computer aimed at K12 computer education for as little as $25. Braben demonstrated a single board computer (SBC) prototype running Ubuntu 9.04 on a 700MHz, OpenGL-enabled ARM11 processor with 128MB SDRAM, HDMI, USB, and SD connectivity, supporting 1080p video.

Some of my favorite quotes...

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” ∞ Jim Morrison

"Only God can judge me" ∞ Tupac Shakur

"Everything that is done in the present affects the future in the form of consequence and affects the past in the form of redemption." ∞ Paulo Coelho

“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” ∞ Malcolm X

"Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye." ∞ Bill Hicks

"When a man moves away from nature his heart becomes hard." ∞ Lakota

"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts". ∞ Albert Einstein

"You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens." ∞ Louise Hay

Angels are not merely forms of extraterrestrial intelligence. They are forms of extra-cosmic intelligence. ∞ Mortimer J. Adler

"Great changes are about to take place in the whole universe. It will not be a comfortable time. It is important that each one has no fear, no concern, knowing that this great upheaval is necessary before the next step can be taken." ∞ Eileen Caddy

The heart chakra is the chakra of love and purity. Meditating on this chakra each day will give you humility, purity, and spiritual balance. ∞ Rama

"Look at the optimism of Nature. Nothing can stop it. Only the ego makes humans pessimistic, and this causes suffering." ∞ Amma

"Every man has a feminine side, and every woman a masculine side. It is important to use discipline with intuition, and to use intuition with objectivity." ∞ Paulo Coelho

"Love has nothing to do with bodies...Love dwells in the soul." ∞ Unknown

“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” ∞ Michael Jackson

"Let no one who loves be called altogether unhappy. Even love unreturned has its rainbows." ∞ James Matthew Barrie

“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on and individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you.” ∞ Jim Morrison

"Listen to your intuition it will tell you all you need to know." ∞ Anthony J. D'Angelo

You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.” ∞ Dave Chappelle

"Anywhere I see suffering, that is where I want to be, doing what I can." ∞ Princess Diana

"It is never a question with any of us of faith or no faith, the question always is: 'In what or in whom do we put our faith?" ∞ Unknown

"Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate." ∞ Albert Schweitzer

“Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.” ∞ John F Kennedy

"Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the stream of thought that is forever flowing through one’s head." ∞ Mark Twain

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ∞ Einstein

And with trust, something immense opens up. Then this life is no longer ordinary life, it becomes full of God, overflowing. When the heart is innocent and the walls have disappeared, you are bridged with infinity. And you are not deceived; there is nothing that can be taken away from you. That which can be taken away from you is not worth keeping, and that which cannot be taken away from you... why should one be afraid of its being taken away? It cannot be taken away, there is no possibility. You cannot lose your real treasure." ∞ Osho

"Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others." ∞ Erich Fromm

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” ∞ Jimi Hendrix

"The old will disappear. Human level consciousness by itself can no longer resolve the complexities it has created." ∞ David Spangler

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ∞ Martin Luther King, Jr.

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." - ∞ Buddah
