Raspberry Pi 2 is 'camera shy'

> Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize for his discovery that if a light hits a component and it generates a charge, it causes that component to reset.

Wait, what? Are they really saying here that Einstein got his Nobel Prize for discovering that light resets electronics? I recall being taught a different definition of photoelectric effect at school.

> Raspberry Pi creator Eben Upton told the BBC the glitch was an "unintentional educational bonus".

Got to give them points for humour.

This is a really badly written article. I didn't really understand what was happening until I read the Foundations article:

Essentially, the component that regulates power to the CPU is a die-on-board package and due to the photoelectric effect certain types of high intensity ultraviolet are causing a voltage drop which crashes the board. Duct tape, as always, is a solution.
