Information is one thing, but for many things you just can't do remotely. You can't transport iPhones from the airport to your home remotely, can't send kids to school remotely, can't go to a nice restaurant remotely.

I think you misunderstood his point. He's saying that for Coursera, Udacity, and edX, they need to make a choice of making their courses available, or getting them accredited, but not both. Clearly they have made their choice.

I reckon that too, then all the more it's not even a competitor with RPi. RPi is a complete system with processor and RAM. Say a mobile i5 costs $150 and a RAM that costs $20. We're looking at a $300 system that consumes 10x the power of RP

you can't use USB memory to replace RAM. USB memory has read speed of ~10MB/s, a 100MHz DDR2 RAM has read speed of 3200MB/s. This product is of a different class. You can't have fancy I/O like Thunderbolt and USB3 and compete on price with
