Dan Ariely questions the benefits of Facebook's Skype Me; Tech Students battle for the Imagine Cup; Cheap computers courtesy of Raspberry Pi

Facebook have recently collaborated with Skype to produce video chat via Skype Me. But do the benefits to the advertisers outweigh the potential benefit to Facebook users? Professor Dan Ariely questions the value of Facebook’s Skype Me.

A number of technical students from around the world have gathered in New York for the latest Imagine Cup. Click's Ian Hardy reports from New York on those technical innovations that have caught the judges' eyes.

Champions of a new tiny device called the Raspberry Pi - a whole computer squeezed onto a single circuit board, about the same size as a USB disc – say it is a major breakthrough in providing cheap computers. It costs around $25 and can be plugged into a TV with the aim of making a computer cheap and simple enough to allow anyone to write programmes. Click's Peter Price reports on the revolutionary new device.
