Cory Doctorow: A Seattle wireless hacker rides a commuter train from Tacoma every day with a battery-powered WiFi hotspot in his backpack that's linked up to the Internet with a 14.4 144k wireless modem. Catch his train and get free WiFi on your commute.

The open wireless node can be found in the first car of the last morning train and in Car 403 on the 5:10pm return trip. Use SSID "FreeInternetAccess" or "seattlewireless" to connect - You may have to assign yourself an IP in the range 192.168.0.0/24 and use the Default Gateway 192.168.0.1 as the DHCP is sometimes flakey

Golden Apples of The Sun 07/14/2004 11:57 AM
Singer Songwriter Devendr a Banhart recently assembled an amazing mix of music exclusively for Arthur Magazine entitled “Golden Apples of the Sun,” (Pitchfork review) which has the high task of defining the West-cost based "freakfolk" scene. Featuring brilliant new artists (such as the breathtaking Joanna Newsom, Iron and Wine, and Vetiver, among others), it was limited to 1000 copies (all of which are sold out). There should be a second edition, but in the meantime you can listen to the whole album on this player.

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy 07/16/2004 04:50 PM
A few weeks ago I got Chrisalis Developemnt's WiFi Seeker, a convenient keychain-sized wireless network locator. Marware's recently announced WiFi Spy is a rebranded version of the same device, so it should perform identically.

To locate a wireless network simply press the button and watch the LEDs. When the lights stop sweeping back and forth, the number that remain lit will show the strength of the wireless signal. If the lights continue to sweep back and forth, you're not in range for any wireless network. Unlike other devices, the WiFi Seeker isn't fooled by other 2.5 GHz signals like microwave ovens or cordless phones, and it doesn't depend on 802.11 client activity to detect the access point. It detects both 802.11b and 802.11g.

Apples sues three in Mac OS Tiger
internet leak 12/22/2004 01:26 AM
Three individuals are being sued by Apple for illegally distributing test copies of the Tiger OS on a file-sharing website, Reuters is reporting today. Apple claims in its suit that two different versions of Mac OS X, code-named Tiger, were made available on the Web on or about Oct. 30 and Dec. 8 of this year. The company has said it will ship Mac OS X �Tiger� in the first half of 2005, after previewing it to the Mac community at a trade show last June. Apple said in its lawsuit that the two different versions of Tiger were made publicly available by the men, who were members of the Apple Developer Connection. �Members of Apple Developer Connection receive advance copies of Apple software under strict confidentiality agreements, which we take very seriously to protect our intellectual property,� the company said in a statement. According to the suit, the men released the software on a Web site that employs BitTorrent file-sharing technology, which is used to rapidly distribute large files of electronic data, and is also widely used to distribute pirated copies of motion pictures via the Internet. Yesterday, Apple filed a lawsuit against unnamed individuals who leaked details about new products by posting information on the Internet.

WiFi in the UK

WiFi in the UK 08/09/2004 08:02 AM
According to today's Independent (a UK broadsheet) and Intel, only a 1/3 of people living in the United Kingdom know what WiFi is. WiFi, which stands for Wireless Fidelity, allows mobile users to connect their laptops to the internet and other devices without having to use standard hardwire networks.

The survey, conducted recently, found that many people thought that the phrase WiFi was cockney rhyming slang (e.g. Dog and Bone : Phone) for "Wifey". Other people who participated in the survey answered that they thought Wifi was a Japanese island, or an exotic fruit.

Asides from showing a shocking level of IT ignorance in the UK, the results do highlight Intel's attempts to get Britain wirelessly connected. Combined with a motivation for shifting Centrino packages, Intel is really hoping to raise awareness and get people using the wireless hot spots they've been setting up with BT over the last year. Intel and the Wireless industry would love to see the UK brought up to the same level of wireless proliferation as in the USA.

WiFi Against Bush

"Inspired by the web site, Bluetooth Users Against Bush, I decided to do the same thing with WiFi.

Here's what you do. Set the name of your wireless access point to 'WiFi Against Bush'. Now, when anyone in your immediate area, such as in your dorm or apartment complex, checks to see what networks are available, they will see your little 'bumper sticker.' It'll piss off Repubs and let other sane folks out there know that they are not alone." [Daily Kos, via Scripting News]

I point this one out to show how creative you can get with naming your library's wireless network. How about "libraries rule," "we answer questions, too", and "fall to your knees and worship a librarian."

Okay, so I'm kidding with that last one, but you get the point.

The Big Muni WiFi Debate

The Big Muni WiFi Debate 09/21/2004 04:43 PM
We've already written a bit about the massively overhyped story concerning Philadelphia government types thinking about covering the city in WiFi, but now the story is generating a big debate over municipal WiFi. MIT's Tech Review kicked it off by suggesting municipalities generally shouldn't be offering WiFi, because the costs of maintaining such a system are high and it's going to come from the taxpayers. Muniwireless shoots back accusing the article of being one-sided while ignoring plenty of successful muni wireless implementations. There are a lot of different issues here. On the technology side, it still seems like WiFi might not be the best solution, but that's (perhaps) a different discussion for a different post. The question of municipal providers of service opens up a whole different can of worms, many of which have been discu ssed before. Municipalities believe they can offer better service, stimulate the local economy and generally do a good thing for their constituents. Those against it, point out that it has the potential to waste taxpayer money in an area where private competition may be better suited. Of course, there's a third argument that gets almost no attention in all of this. If the government were to consider bandwidth to be something of a natural monopoly, then why not have the government build the backbone, but let anyone offer service on it? The benefit is that competition remains at the service end, and efforts aren't wasted duplicating the same technology buildout on the backend. The risk, however, is that the government would choose the wrong technology (maybe the question of whether WiFi is the wrong technology is relevant to this discussion after all) or do a bad job on the implementation. Already, many residential broadband offerings are a monopoly or duopoly situation, suggesting some market failure -- though that may simply be a function of time and technology (certainly wireless ISPs would like to think so). Still, most opposition to muni broadband is coming just a bit too loudly from providers in those monopoly/duopoly situations -- suggesting they know the real competitive threat isn't from upstarts, but from the government breaking control over their monopoly. No, muni broadband (wireless or otherwise) may not be the most efficient use of taxpayer money based on the way most locations are implementing it, but that doesn't mean the current broadband providers are doing a very good job serving their markets either. Letting local governments offer up broadband connectivity while letting others openly offer services on those networks is a model takes away many of the downsides of municipal broadband offerings while also fixing the market failure that has lead to less competition.

Free High-Speed Internet...May Not Be

Free High-Speed Internet...May Not Be 12/24/2004 12:57 PM

Something to look out for when you travel: hotels advertising "Free High-Speed Internet" may be fudging the terms just a little bit.

I stayed in a hotel in New Jersey once that advertised this. I was all excited to get my laptop hooked up and check my email when I discovered what it really meant —

They had some kind of Web TV thing. You got high-speed service to about 15 sites on the television: CNN, the New York Times, and a few others. To get "Free and Unrestricted High-Speed Internet," you had to pay $14.95 a day. And even then, you were still hampered by this crappier-than-WebTV interface that my Web mail refused to work for.

Needless to say, I was a little irritated. Now I never take "Free High-Speed Internet" at face value again. I always ask at the front desk. Not all hotels are this way (this one, in particular, was great), but has anyway else encountered this same problem?

Broadcom Goes Higher Speed 01/09/2004 09:52 PM
Broadcom introduced an 802.11g chip at CES that promises to burst up to 125 Mbps: Buffalo Technology also introduced the first product to use the chip, the AirStation Router-g. Broadcom said it achieved the performance gain with technology that closes the timing gap between data packets. The chips use just one channel to transmit. Broadcom says the chips are compatible with standard 802.11g gear and won't cause service degradation on nearby networks. Broadcom is behind many of its competitors that have already introduced higher speed chips. Atheros offers a chip that can burst to 108 Mbps used by Netgear and D-Link. That gear, which employs several methods to achieve the higher throughput including channel bonding, degrades the performance of nearby Broadcom networks. It doesn't have negative affects on all nearby networks, though....
