Look out Apple iPhone 4S, the Raspberry Pi will kick it out of the hot seat
Let’s face it – Apple sometimes likes to boast about it’s products hardware being the fastest in the class.

We’ll admit that the Coburn’s Domain Labs does have a old 700Mhz G4 Apple eMac, but when this floated past our inbox, we couldn’t help but say “Cute”.
Powered by a hidden Arduino inside the basket and a infrared beam, when the cat breaks the beam, the Arduino realises it’s got a cat inside the cosy eMac shell, and supposedly “boots” up the eMac. Partner this with an LED light that cycles colors, and it provides the best sleeping experience your cat can thank you for. When kitteh exits the eMac, it’ll power itself off.
