Geek Peek - Having your Pi and eating it too
I have been involved in a Linux operating system project and whilst doing some research I came across the Raspberry Pi project. The Raspberry Pi is a computer on a single board the size of a credit card and that retails for under $40. Think about that for a moment. With wealthy countries rolling out laptops for all students the third world is being further marginalized. But what if every student in Asia and Africa had there own $40 computer that fits in a pencil case? Sure they need to connect it to a monitor, keyboard and mouse, but those items have and continue to fall in cost and could be kept at school with the students plugging in when needed.

Counting the Cost - The giants of commodity trading
Sep 29, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish
From Switzerland to the world - they are the giants of commodity trading, but can they shake off the tag of 'modern day slave masters'? This week on Counting the Cost we examine the commodities industry - the very essentials, the raw materials and resources that we simply cannot live without. These are traded all over the globe - everything from oil to copper, sugar to precious minerals. A country normally associated with great lakes, political neutrality and the Red Cross can now be associated with the global commodities industry as Switzerland is home to some of the biggest commodities companies in the world. But why has that one region out surpassed the others in the commodities business? And is it possible to regulate the globalised, multi-billion dollar companies which operate within it?

Sep 29, 2012 by TheAlexJonesChannel
Alex explores the delusional sheep mentality and naivety of Obama fanatics as they gush over the handing out of free phones. He'll also break down exactly why the TSA is forced to lie about their policies, defending their "freeze" commands as preceded by notification, when in fact they are not. Alex also covers the meaning behind Netanyahu's cartoon-like drawing of what he thinks is the time table for intervention in Iran's nuclear program.
