Hi all - I see that the Raspberry Pi computer is (finally?) on sale. I think it's an interesting addition to the mix for discussions about

 producing versus consuming - it was developed to encourage teaching of computer programming,
 funding - it costs $35,
 and form-factor - it's the size of a credit card.

See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17190918   (or just google raspberry pi, I guess).
