Fromdrones (http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/04/skyjack-parrot-drone-raspberry-pi/) to smart TV hacks (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/23/raspberry-pi-hack-creates-smart-tv-from-a-not-so-bright-set/) to supercomputers (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/13/supercomputer-built-from-raspberry-pi-and-lego/), the $35 PC can be manipulated for almost any task, and now the team behind it is working on a better web browser. Developed over the last few months with the help of open source consultants Collabora, the unimaginatively named "Web" is promising an up-to-date experience designed for the hardware's limitations and strengths alike. Future Raspbian releases will come standard with this HTML5-capable browser, promising ARMv6-optimized 2D rendering, a smooth tab experience and accelerated image and video decoding. At this point it takes some technical savvy to get online and cranking, but if you know your way around a command line then just follow these (http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/5535)instructions.
