The RasPiComm is an easy way to add extra functionality to the Raspberry Pi, docking with the Pi's header unit to provide more ports and -- hooray! -- a backup battery so the thing can remember what time it is when powered down. Read More >>

The maker of the sensational Raspberry Pi has built a limited edition 1,000 unit run of blue-boarded versions of the tiny computer, to celebrate one year of disrupting the home computing scene. You can't buy the blue one, though. It's being saved for use as prizes and free donations to charitable causes. If know someone or a project that deserves a freebie Pi, tweet the maker using these rules. Read More >>
The Raspberry Pi truly is a mini-marvel, and it's ignited hackers everywhere -- people can make almost anything with it, including sending the thing into space. In fact, it's gotten so mainstream that even the Design Museum is holding Pi-hacking competitions. Read More >>

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has had a camera module in the works for since May last year, but it's finally getting closer to reality. It'll apparently cost about the same as the Pi board, so £20-odd, and will be capable of HD video. Probably 5MP then -- perfect for those self-built aerial spy drones to keep tabs on your neighbours.

With home automation being all the rage these days, it was only a matter of time before Siri got her little, occasionally judgmental claws into the action. All it took was YouTube user Elvis Impersonator, a Raspberry Pi, and enough trust in Siri's goodness to believe she won't devolve into a Hal 9000 wannabe. Read More >>

If you're in the market for a super-cheap computer to hack to your heart's content, but $35 was too much dough for you, then Christmas is here: the stripped-down Raspberry Pi Model A, with no ethernet, only 256MB of RAM, and 1/3rd the power consumption of the more powerful Model B, is here at last, for just $25. Scrooge modders, rejoice! Only don't open the champagne -- that'd be a bit pricey. [Raspberry Pi] Read More >>

Due to Eric Schmidt's recent friendship with North Korea, his karmic balance is skewed way towards the bad. His solution? Give 15,000 cute little Raspberry Pis to the poor under-teched schoolchildren of Britain. Oh, and of course, have the obligatory semi-creepy photo of him posing with an ethnically representative sample of kiddies. That'll make it all better, Eric. Read More >>
One of the key drivers behind the Raspberry Pi project has said there won't be any new spec Pi hardware this year, as he doesn't want to abandon current users and make them feel like they've already been gazumped by newer models. What an amazing rarity in the tech world. Read More >>

Are you jonesing for some 80's inspired computer fun on the cheap? Look no further than Paul Dunn's ingenious SpecBAS project, which just rolled out full support for the Raspberry Pi -- your pocket mini-marvel just became a ZX Spectrum, well, minus the tapes, of course. Read More >>
