I noticed the favicon too. :-)

Slightly surprised to see that in combination with a *.cfm URL. I guess ColdFusion had a SPARC port?

#93But you can get almost any wireless ability and keep modern with whatever standard changes by simply using a usb stick.
They are super tiny now and barely stick out of the usb port.
Why hardwire wireless and outdate a board a few years later?
I think in 5 years we got g -> n -> 5ghz -> ac and three bluetooth variants.
Now there is indoor lte and other stuff coming.

#94Comparing the photos to my Pi 2, it doesn't seem very different. There's an extra IC near the microsd card, a connector beneath the HDMI port, and a few other small changes. But nothing that looks like an antenna. Any idea where that might be? Edit: as lovelearning pointed out, there is a small ceramic-looking piece in the upper-left of the top side, near the GPIO pins and LVDS display connector. That might be it.
Second last "internal" photo, top left corner next to the ribbon connector. That thing that looks like a long cap SMD is the chip antenna (just guessing).

It worked for me.
If someone were to call the FCC regarding this and write about their experience, I would definitely read that article ;) The phone number is right there!

I don't get how ROMs for the old systems continue to be so easily available. I'm really glad they are, but how have all of the ROM hosting sites note been DMCA takedown'd into oblivion?
There's no money in it.
Virtual Console? Also wouldn't publishers be worried about retro classics competing with their new AAA offerings?

Couldn't you already just plug a fairly cheap USB dongle in your rasperry pi ? I'm not sure I see what the big deal is, aside from probably making the price cheaper and freeing up a usb slot
If you've ever tried to get wifi working (esp on earlier RPis) you'll understand it is not that simple. Especially for newbies. Having said that its a good baptism of fire. Raspberry Pi with built in wireless comms means it uses a standard piece of hardware so the software stack can be configured to work out of the box. That can't happen with the existing arrangement. Also the power supply problems with original Pis…
This doesn't really reflect my experience at all with the RPi 2. The edimax or official wifi dongles "just work" with NetworkManager.
With the early RPi it was a bit different because of USB power problems and kernel bugs, but those are mostly solved.

That is it, and the connector beneath the HDMI port is the same (but mounted) JTAG connector as the RPi2.
I don't know what is the chip, though.
Also noticed a 2-pin header between the 40-pin one and the upper USB ones: it looks like the "RUN" from the Rpi Zero.
EDIT: The 2-pin "RUN" header already existed on the RPi2, where the ceramic antenna is now located on the RPi3.

I don't think they did: the confidentiality period is now 45 days only by default, see http://acbcert.com/documents/misc-docs/Memo-Short-Term-Vs-St... Certification took place at Track (now Element UK) on 2015-11-23, given the external picture dates, or 95 days ago, so it looks like it has been extended once.
They didn't request short-term confidentiality for anything: the exhibit summary list at https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm... has a column for short-term confidential which is all No. Also, the confidentiality letter would specifically request short-term if they wanted it.
You are right, but today it is very difficult to get an extension to the 45 days period, unless you can provide a release date, as it has been abused so much in the past.
