Top 5 Reasons The Raspberry Pi Sucks | Raspberry Pi Spy

Very amusing satire. However, it is worthwhile to point out that even though RasPi Model A/B is "the size of a credit card" it won't fit in an Altoids box because it doesn't have rounded corners like a credit card. The BeagleBone does. Gerald Coley told me those rounded corners and mounting holes made BeagleBone placement and routing a real pain.

BTW, some of the reasons I say I like this board are:

1) Quad core
2) Modern Ubuntu OS 14.04
3) Great accessory support - their site has a bunch of stuff I'd like to purchase, and it is inexpensive

The form factor is dang close to that of the Pi. And it was still only ~$35.

So far, I like it. I may blog about it myself. I've got to finish up my B+ STEM blogs I promised Dave I would do first though. I'm working on them right now.
