thats a typo...

It's like we're forgetting this thing doesn't even have a video-out port, or an audio-out port. Certainly you could make one with the various IO-ports, but you almost need a degree for doing so. The expansion boards aren't ready yet; seeing as they consider "video-out" an expansion illustrates how it's not aimed at non-tech folks. The fact you NEED a computer for this makes its ultimate purpose completely different from raspi, you cannot compare them. It has more ram and cpu, so what

@Nextil81 Different target. This one has more hardware expansion and over twice the processing performance and twice the memory for doing general purpose crunching, whereas the Raspberry PI has a hardware video decoder and is focused on delivering something as cheap as possible, rather than being flexible. The BeagleBone is focused on being open hardware and will be rather easy to extend or clone to make new custom hardware.
-
The Raspberry Pi is set for release around the same time, with very similar specs and a much lower price.

@scriptsrfun Osx regularly and continually takes open source code from FreeBSD, and is based on the Darwin project. Microsoft took the TCP/IP stack from FreeBSD. And, many device drivers from intel and ATI are open-source. Firefox is open-source, along with chrome/chromium.
So I'm going to say most people. I'm sure you know that though, and you're just trolling. :)

Presenting open hardware technology with a mac in front of you. I'm not criticizing, just noting the irony of it, no flame wanted.

I absolutely love seeing digitalWrite inside of JavaScript. I'm really interested to see if node.js's async I/O can be used on the BeagleBone with the I/O pins, or if someone ends up implementing it. I can't wait!

what a superb new board. The perfect XMas stocking filler :)
