Clockwise has some GREAT ideas. The wiimote whiteboard is neat. I've done it myself. However, you should probably consider the scope and aim of what you are doing as well as what your students need. They likely will not really ever need to use the wiimote whiteboard whereas some of clockwise's ideas (such as storage v. memory, personal stuff online, backup up data, basic HTML) may be very useful to them some day.

Submission + - "Five-Dimension" Disc May Store 10TB on On (computerworld.com)

QuixoticWonderer writes: "Computer World has a story about a new disc technology that has the potential to hold up to 10TB on a DVD sized disc.

Researchers from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne said the technology, dubbed multiplexed optical recording, can create a "fifth dimension" of recording, using polarization and gold nanorods to reflect light, boosting data density beyond 1,012 bits per centimeter. The team was able to store 1.6TB of data on a disc with the technology and said that someday the technique could yield up to 10TB on a single DVD-type disc.

You can find more details in the Computer World story here."
