The $25 Raspberry Pi model is certainly selling like hot cakes, so much so that it sold out soon after debuting in the US. Yes sir, going on sale just yesterday, this $25 version of a tiny Linux computer is no longer available as all available stock has been snapped up by eager beavers. Of course, if you are hunting for the $25 Model A, you might want to settle for the slightly more expensive $35 Model B instead. After all, for a mere $10 more, you get more bang out of your hard earned buck, no?
Those who want to pick up the Model A will be treated to a message that reads, “this item is out of stock and may not be backordered. Please remove to continue.” As for Model B, it is available on sale although it has been backordered, with a waiting list that is up to 6 weeks long before your purchase arrives on your doorstep. Just to get an idea on what the $25 Model A offers, this “budget” edition comes with 256MB RAM and one USB 2.0 port, while the $35 Model B has double the RAM, a couple of USB 2.0 ports and an Ethernet port.

Assuming that Facebook’s future Android homescreen will take off like never before, there is every possibility that this could indirectly expose Apple’s weakness when it comes to the iOS’ closed environment, which is a polar opposite of what used to be touted as its strengths, namely a cohesive design as well as ease of use.
Most of the world is aware that Saudi Arabia is not exactly the most liberal of countries, mainly because there is no separation between religion and the state. Having said that, there are some rules in that particular country that would have folks living in far more liberal thinking countries wonder how did folks manage to put up with all of those restrictions for so long. Well, the latest bit of information to roll out from Saudi Arabia’s Saudi Communications and Information Technology Commission is this – select Internet applications such as Skype as well as WhatsApp have failed to comply with regulatory requirements.
