Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #249 hosted by Don Baine, produced by Mike Baine.(http://thegadgetprofessor.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/04/raspberry.jpg)The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.

What’s more, the Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to learn to program and understand how computers work.

We also feature our weekly free apps and software recommendations.

At CES 2016 this year, HT Weekly host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic stopped by the Smart Diet Scale booth to talk to Nick Batsikouras, creator of the new scale. The patented concept is simple. It weighs the four quadrants of your plate so you can portion your food all at once and allows you to track you diet much more simply.

It has a dedicated smart app that goes with the Smart Diet Scale so you can track your calories and nutrition intake over time. The Smart Diet Scale is attractively designed with four separate weight sensors shielded by tempered glass and features touchscreen technology. This makes both using and cleaning the scale a simple task. The four separate portion control Smart Diet Plates measure individual portions of food, and are capable of calculating and displaying the entire nutritional value of your meal all at once.

Find out more info at the Smart Diet Scale site (http://www.smartdietscale.com/).
