I believe that this would be "SPB apprentice boffin Katarina."

Computer on a dongle... I’ve used the original Pi, that was about two years ago (?), on a big flat screen, looked a little toylike, but completely usable for surfing and basic tasks. Embedded system in future smart TVs is coming, probably within a similar two year time frame. Thanks ShadowAce.
Whose idea at Microsoft was it to give the product demonstration to that guy?
Do they manufacture their own turbochargers, or do they source them from someone like Garrett?
I agree!! They could have found a much better spokesman. I am just amazed Microsoft came up with the Hololens. It will definitely be a major game changer.
I started getting into the Arduino controller boards. Will this do similar things? Allowing input and output?
first impression, ‘alex’ needs to go through puberty
second, the holo-computing thing has a very long way to go before it’s more then a cute thing for kids and gamers. as it is now, it’s on course to follow the google watch
My first questions were "what is it" and "where do I put it?"
I'm an engineer geek, something I freely admit. I'm probably going to break down and buy one of these to play with. What for? No idea, but I'll figure something out once I have it. ;-)

The limited I/O on the older Pi was my problem too, so I went wiht the Arduino. Looks like mabye the Pi 2 has fixed that.
Sometimes a pipe is just a pipe....
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.
Actually there is absolutely NO comparison to the Google BS. It will be available shortly. This will eliminate the need for, keyboards, mice, monitors, TV’s, phones... Can you imagine the tutorial programs you could make with this, virtual pilots, surgeries, building anything. This is where thing are headed in the computer world.
“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.”
How true! I looked it up on the ‘net and I am STILL glazed over.
It might confuse some that I/O is often on the on-off button of some devices.
I thought it was a snack pie and I wanted to eat one.
Who wants to buy me one for my birthday? lol
VOip (house phone), controller for any electronic gizmo in your home, weather stations, automatic garden irrigation controller, dedicated security system controller, etc.
We used one as a dedicated box to surf video and movie websites on the big screen using an android pad as the remote.
At around $40 each they are affordable geek play toys.
Thanks for this
