The transparency of your team is refreshing. While you can't please everyone, I'm confident this product will achieve the educational objectives for many users.

Myself, I am excited to help my children build up their interest in computer science as they explore their /own/ RPis.

Like many here, I grew up using Apple's/Jobs' innovations and growing inspired to make a difference through my skills with technology. Even if you are not a Apple user today (like me), for the early Apple ][ and Mac GUI innovations, we owe him much.

100 years from now, the time we are living now will be remembered for it's thriving creativity and the computer/semiconductor industry grew up and that innovation possible. And, Steve Jobs one of the key visionaries driving technology forward. Rest in Peace.

1) Very very low client graphic requirements--all 3D rendering is done on server and is sent to client like a "custom" real-time movie.
2) Low/no entry cost of hardware.
3) Large potential game inventory; publishers will love this as it completely bypasses hardware/console middlemen.
4) Simple and convenient to use for ordinary gamer; cost saver for serious gamer. (important for the company to package up scaled subscription prices for both of these audiences)

For one thing, this will be perfect for hotel pay-per-view like arrangements.

...DDJ India and DDJ China have expanded their print magazines to twice their previous size. I am a long time DDJ reader, and am sad to see the print version go. I find it hard to contemplate a good programming article online--probably due to the Internet "distraction effect"--like you can when reading from the magazine.

HP Labs claims that massive memristor arrays with tunable resistance at each crossbar could enable brain-like learning. In the brain, a synapse is strengthened whenever current flows through it, similar to the way resistance is lowered by flowing current through a memristor. Such neural networks could learn to adapt by allowing current to flow in either direction as needed.

"RRAMs are our near term goal, but our second target for memristors, in the long term, is to transform computing by building adaptive control circuits that learn," said Stewart. "Analog circuits using electronic synapses will require at least five more years of research."

The second application for this technology is strengthening of interconnections, like in neural-networks. I am visualizing here a computer being able to burn in memory images, like the human brain burns in an image--except the computer would be able to have photographic memory. Could this give AI applications a real human-like memory? Anyone else feel like these type of projects are real-world Cyberdyne systems T101 prototypes...
