The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card size, single-board computer from the charity foundation, Raspberry Pi Foundation. Weighing a mere 45 grams, it lets you connect a generic USB mouse, keyboard and a monitor, and can be used for many things that your desktop does such as spreadsheets, word-processing and games; it can handle high-def videos too. Though creative wits at the Foundation have been working on it since 2006, the miniature machine went up for pre-order earlier this year and was an instant hit. It soon made headlines as 700 units of the Raspberry Pi were reportedly sold every second and the official Raspberry site was partially down due to humongous traffic. Though it faced several roadblocks in the form of shipping delays, production glitches etc., the miniature computer never faced any dearth of love.
