Turbocharged quad-core Raspberry Pi 2 unleashed, global geekgasm likely

Re: Competitors dead in the water?

From today you should be able to ‘apt-get upgrade’ on an existing Raspbian installation to add an ARMv7 kernel to your distribution. The SD card can then be used — assuming it’s a Micro SD Card — to boot either a first or second generation Pi. Card images, along with a new NOOBS image, will also be posted that support both boards.

Radioactivity Measurement in Japan

See http://www.dailyack.com/2011/03/radioactivity-measurement-in-japan.html for a visualisation of the environmental radioactivity measurements in all prefectures across Japan. Levels look pretty stable and within normal ranges for most of the country, levels around Sendai are still only about double normal background.

Buy via BundleBox

Of course you can just buy the PogoPlug Pro from the BestBuy website and ship it back into the UK via BundleBox, http://j.mp/97EKSu. I use it for a lot of "gray imports" and even with International Shipping it generally ends up cheaper than buying it here in the UK. For instance the non-Pro Pogoplug is $99 in the US, €99 in mainland Europe and £99 here in the UK. At current exchange rates...? *sigh*
