Sounds like they have developed tech similar to Katango - http://www.building43.com/videos/2011/07/12/katango-organizi... And now Google probably also knows that much about you because they bought Katango. LinkedIn also bought Rapportive

I'm also hoping that RPi will kick off something here in the UK. But is there evidence that access to a computer is the main hurdle for kids wanting to learn programming in the UK? Clearly, the US hasn't had a Raspberry Pi.

You're painting with very broad strokes. There are more than the two extreme types of people you seem to classify everyone into. For example, have you forgotten DHH and Peldi? They've created some of the best software businesses, contribute

I've been there once and I think the matter is very delicate. Sometimes, you have to push through a terrible lack of excitement. Knowing if it's one of those times is hard.
