Link We’ve known for a while that the Internet has ossified as a result of the race to optimise existing applications or enhance security.

Again, without evidence, definitive answers are impossible at this stage, but the notion that the structure could collapse any minute seems a little far-fetched. via Will Someone…

“if we build the Raspberry Pi in Britain, we have to pay a lot more tax” – #Tax lesson for Geeks & Makers
’d like to draw attention to one cost in particular that really created problems for us in Britain. Simply put, if we build the Raspberry Pi in Britain, we have to pay a lot more tax. If a British company imports components, it has to pay tax on those (and most components are not made…
