From http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31294745:

> The latest version of Raspberry Pi's credit-card-sized budget computer reboots itself when exposed to camera flashes, users have found.
> 
> The glitch is a result of the "photoelectric effect" phenomenon.
> 
> 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.
> 
> Raspberry Pi creator Eben Upton told the BBC the glitch was an "unintentional educational bonus".
