Apple iTunes U “puts the power of the iTunes Store to work for colleges, universities, and other education organizations, so users can easily search, download, and play education content just like they do music, movies, and TV shows.”
This is Apple’s service for faculty to provide content for computers and portable devices. Something to look into for podcasts and other online video/audio/PDF delivery services for classes.

Yammer is for Enterprise Microblogging by employees.
“Yammer aims to encourage people employed within companies to interact with one another around the projects, tasks and problems that involve them during the working day. Individuals sign up using their corporate email address and invite others to join. From that point, they can use the tool to ask questions of other members of the group,such as: “What are you working on today?” Once that question has been answered, other members can join the thread. Old conversation streams are stored and everyone has the option of a profile. It’s a bit like a corporate Twitter.” (from Revolution Magazine)

Deep Dish Cylindrical Parabolic Template.
Say that three times fast….
This might seem a little far to the geek side for this site, but bear with me. What do you do when your wireless router just can’t seem to get the signal to the far side of the house, or to another floor? Or what if you’d like to keep the signal a little more private given all the other wireless users in your neighborhood?
Use “scissors, tape, cardboard, tin foil” and do one of these things up, or get an aluminum cookie sheet to get more elaborate. It just helps to focus and concentrate the wireless signal.
