[quote=FlyerInHi]Doofrat, what is Pi?

Raspberry Pi. A lot of the use of xBMC and subsequently Kodi was on the Raspberry Pi a year or two ago, but it’s difficult to get it to run with good performance without hours of tweaking. Once you get it working, it runs great, but there are better alternatives out there now like the Fire.

Where it really helps is when you have something that isn’t available anywhere. For instance, for awhile, District 9 was not available on iTunes or anywhere else for that matter, so you could get it on Pi. Or if you like watching “The Soup” you can’t get it without a cable subscription.

This city is taking on Silicon Valley as a start-up haven

Due in large part to the sky-high valuations of Silicon Valley’s technology darlings, San Francisco’s start-up scene has been a dominant story line in recent years — and rightfully so. But a powerful ecosystem has emerged in San Diego for entrepreneurs, bolstered by the fact it has developed itself as a center of excellence in biotech and life sciences, mobile technology and aerospace research.

According to data from the Kauffman Foundation’s “Startup Activity”report, San Diego ranks as a top 10 start-up city for the past two years, advancing one spot to No. 9 in 2015.
