Hey, the Raspberry Pi has a new version! “The new board costs the same $35 (£20) as the original but has two more USB ports, bringing the total to four, a microSD card slot for memory and a neater design, which should make fitting the board into custom projects easier and Raspberry Pi cases smaller.” The extra USB ports will come in handy.

Hi, Tara,
Apologies for being late to the game, but I smile every time you say “warning! PC World!” But I’m afraid I’m not getting the joke. Could you explain to this newbie? Thanks!
Dan
Hi Dan!
As you probably know ResearchBuzz is my love, not my job, and I usually end up doing my RSS site checking and news reading fairly late at night (it’s almost 2330 as I write this.) PC World has a lot of advertising, but the thing that really drives me nuts is it has autoplay video ads with audio. So I’m sitting here in a quiet room, fairly late, reading news stores, and I click on PC World, and SUDDENLY THERE IS NOISE. Sometimes it makes me jump! So that’s why I’m warning y’all – in case you’re reading as late as I am. :->
Hi, Tara, this is great. Thanks for responding! There are other news sites I visit that do the same thing, and if I have multiple tabs open it takes a while to track down the source. Information wants to be free, but there’s always a price. 🙂 – Dan
