I personally think that if the teacher sees his student constantly look at the LED or even students looking behind at it, and see the LED flashes differently, they'll find it suspicious.

It would really be funny, if all TI-Nspire were required to have black electric tape on the LED in order to be used in exams!  :P
(like the HP-48/49 in some states)

Epic fail from TI...

Hmm, just realized a problem: What if teachers start blocking TI-BANK and Omnimaga? (They're already blocked at my school, so I don't really care, but other schools...)
At my school, most forums, and all blogs are blocked. Te librarian says its because those are individuals posting the stuff so its hard to control the content, but then theres a whole bunch of other stuff made by individuals that goes right through the filter. Personally, I dont see the need for filtering anything but pr0n.

Same here. Some schools probably try to make sure students use the computers for school work and not go on gaming sites, but if there are a lot of computers available and you're done with school work, I don't see why we should be restricted so much. Maybe block downloadable files if you're too scared of students downloading viruses but not entire sites, at least not legal/clean ones.

I don't even see the need of filtering pr0n, except in countries where watching it is illegal, law I can't yet understand.

This. In North America, you must be 18 years or older to watch adult material.

As for the LED it's still kinda interesting, plus not everyone might want to buy an USB dongle. The trick is to push the calculator to its full potential without the need of third-party hardware.

Why?

1) Just try to program a driver if you can...

2) The WiFi-USB dongle can be removed by teachers. The LED cannot be removed... easily :P

Removing the LED would involve opening your calc, behind the LCD, right?

You might also use an ice spike to destroy the LED :P
