The RaspberryPi index (similar to the Big Mac Index)

The other day I was thinking about the loss of local industry that has happened in Europe (and lots of other countries) and I realised that what we need is the RaspberryPI Index which would work in a similar way to the Big Mac Index

The RaspberryPI Index  would be the "cost of producing a RaspberryPI compatible device in a particular country or region".

This would be a great measure of how much technological industry would exist in a particular country (and help to find the gaps in the market/production-chain).

Running Minecraft on Raspberry PI

Raspberry PI is amazing!!!!!!!!

Last week I got one of the PI kits + books, and am having a great time teaching my kids how to use it (and how to write games like the PacMan using scratch)

Of course that what my 7 year old really wanted was to play Minecraft on the PI, and although there is no 'official' release (even the 'unofficial version' was removed by the author), I was able to get it to work using the instructions at Raspberry Pi - Install Minecraft - leaked pre release
