That is the correct answer - I'd say you should at least give it a go for tomorrow?
The only bit missing was AND which comes from "Also"...

OK then I will set one for tomorrow but I will need a clue from OriginalGriff first.

To be slightly mathematical, this is a measure of trend rather than popularity, so what they look at is the delta not the value -
Cat searches: 2014=1e20 & 2014=1e20, δ=1.0
Sean's Mankini: 2014=1e6 & 2014=1.2e6, δ=1.2 *
So Sean's Mankini scores higher for trending.

You don't have to search for cat videos, cat videos find you whether you want to see the bloody things or not.

Indeed, or the other thing that people search for. If you actually want to see either then you usually know where to go without any aid from Google ... er ... I'm led to believe.

Just wondering if any regulars here have one, and if so which particular model would you recommend today? Thank you.

The B+ has been replaced by the Raspberry Pi 2 hasn't it?
On the phone so didn't follow your link.
I got a couple of Pi 2's yesterday. Not had time to do anything yet. 1GB of RAM and a 900MHz cpu. 4 USB as well.

Yeah, the naming has been rather confusing. Amazon has the Pi 2 for about 40 bucks. The Pi 2 with Win 10 IOT pack is about $160 though. Not sure if all the extras are worth it though.

Can't you just buy the Pi 2 and the go here[^] to the get the IoT sh*t for free?

An IOT pack (such as this one[^]) includes additional hardware: case, power supply, breadboard, jumpers, sensors, LEDs, etc.

I've got one of the original Pi gathering dust somewhere. RS took so long to ship it, my attention had already wandered elsewhere by the time it finally arrived. I did set up XBMC on it for some time, but it was too painfully unresponsive to be really useful.
I'd like to get my hands on one of these[^] to try out Windows IoT Core
or a Raspberry Pi Zero[^].

To be clear, the long delivery times were because the manufacturers couldn't make them fast enough to keep up with the high demand.
I don't know which model you had, but I have a (type 1) model B, and it runs various distributions of XBMC/Kodi (i.e. Xbian, OpenELEC or OSMC) just fine. It is very slow updating the catalogue, though, so I don't have it do that at startup. It was annoyingly slow to respond to user input for a while, but I updated to a new version of Xbian and that sorted it.

I got an RPi (model B, I guess - the one with the ethernet connection). It used to sit next to the printer, acting as print server for the old USB printer.
Now that we got an ethernet printer the pi is merely used as the place where the scanned PDFs go before someone takes them off there to store them in their folder.
Today I'd recommend the Pi 2, as SW for it can be developed using VS.

I don't have one personally but actually developing a kind of hand held based on a Pi.
For development I'm using a B+ now (started with a B) while the final device will use an A+ (already present) or zero (not yet present here) depending on the type of display that will be finally used.
I prefer one of the small 3.5" touch displays which are connected via SPI. But my boss want's a bigger one so that the official 7" Pi touch display might be used. That is much faster and has multi touch but can't be used with the Zero that doesn't have the display connector.
The Pi are used with a self developed extension board providing a LiIon charger, on/off logic, RTC, voltage and current monitor, piezo buzzer, and a 2-port USB hub.
As you may have already noted, it depends on the requirements which type to use. I suggest the B+ and B2 for starting and development because they provide Ethernet and multiple USB ports.
If size and/or current matters, use the A+ or Zero. Missing interfaces can be provided via USB (hub, WLAN, ethernet). Use the Zero if the additional interfaces of the A+ are not required (camera interface, display interface, audio output).
If speed matters, use the B2. But this is usually not necessary when not using X Window based applications.
For the hand held I use Qt applications running without X. For testing purposes I'm showing a FFT from sampled SDR data (DVB-T USB stick as receiver, sample rate 240 kHz) on the 7" display. This produces a system load of about 50% on the B+ (the data rate is still higher than the display refresh rate so that only every second FFT frame is shown).
Small applications are build on the Pi itself via SSH shell. But I have also a virtual machine running Ubuntu with installed Pi cross compilation tools and Qt Creator.
I initially thought that I might have to build my own kernel to support specific hardware. But this can be omitted with actual RaspBian distributions because they support meanwhile device trees and a lot of Pi specific hardware (e.g. these small SPI displays).

Got one as a present a few years ago; installed samba, apache and mono. I'd recommend ordering one of those plastic casings if you are going to use the Pi a lot.

I have many Pi's at home, since we use them at work. I even have one attached to a TFT touchscreen.
I worked with models A, B and 2. If you really want to go with a Raspberry Pi device, go with version 2. It's about the same price, but twice the power and usefulness of older models.
Although you must know that there are many other pocket sized computers on the market worth looking at. (a few are on kickstarter)
Here are a few examples.
The best one so far, in my opinion: PINE[^] (15$)
It has 32Bits and 64Bits versions, which other makers don't have. It's cheaper and faster than the Pi 2. Worth a look.
LattePanda[^] (45£): If you'd like to experiment with Windows 10 IoT features, this is the one.
Sub-10$ computers (less powerful, much smaller in size and price):
C.H.I.P[^] (9$)
Raspberry Pi Zero[^] (5$)
Other stuff to look at maybe?

The one my Mom baked is best. Good luck getting a one if you're not family though. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
