The future of computers is only $4 away. With Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton

Weird fanboying, Interviewer> The cell phone supply chain now makes a lot of chips and parts. You see those parts get recontextualized in all kinds of ways: LCD screens are all over the place. They’re so cheap because cell phones exist.

A very long article and I enjoyed every bit of it. It asked all the questions I have had about their motivations, their market focus, and why they have been raising money.
