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

Here Comes More Free WiFi
02/10/2004 02:41 AMWe've maintained in the past that there are two situations in which
someone can charge for WiFi: (a) there is no reasonable chance of
competition in that location, such that you have captive users or (b)
you are offering up something special on top of the WiFi that people
value (which could be convenience, security, reliability, etc.). When
looking at case "a", this pretty much left only some hotels and
airports for the time being - since they could cover enough ground to
(somewhat) monopolize the WiFi offerings. However, the trend seems to
be changing on that as well, as both hotels and airports are realizing
there's a lot more benefit in offering WiFi for free
than trying to charge for it. The prices were too high, and not too
many people were using it. However, when they offer it for free, it
attracts more customers to their locations. In other words, once
again, it's the publicity factor that makes it worthwhile.

Free mall WiFi on the rise
Free mall WiFi on the rise
04/30/2004 02:11 AMShopping malls across the US are adding free WiFi:
A very small number of the 1,130 malls in the United States have
wireless access. But, she said, an increasing number are thinking of
installing the capability.
For instance, Westfield America Trust said most of its 62 regional and
super regional shopping centers will soon offer the service. Taubman,
which owns or manages 31 malls, began offering Wi-Fi services
yesterday at its The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, Texas.
"If you look at malls in general, you are really seeing owners bring
in things that allow for more people to come do a variety of things at
the center," Duker said. "The mall has become more than a place to
shop."

costs $40. He and Bill Kearney and the other RSS-wonks in the room
have interpreted the confernece organizers' charging for basic
conference functionality as damage and are routing around it:
In answer to the long held question, can a TiBook with one Wifi card
act as a repeater and relay access to everyone else in the room
without them having to pay, the answer it turns out is yes. How do we
do this? Well, first turn off the built-in Apache installation on the
OSX machine that is online. Edit httpd.conf to load mod_proxy (there
are about 20 or so lines to uncomment). Turn Apache back on. Go to
network prefs, and find out your assigned IP address. Write it on a
piece of paper, and pass it around the room, telling them to set it as
their web proxy.

Is free municipal wifi good?
09/02/2004 08:06 AMPhiladelphia is considering investing $10M to blanket 135 square miles
with wifi coverage. Some people for whom I have the highest respect,
and from whom I've learned a lot, I anticipate are going to denounce
this. Their argument is that the government is exactly the wrong
entity to make decisions best made by the market. Why? Because:
Government agencies are ill-equipped to make technical decisions.
Governments are corrupt. The incumbents have too much influence. Even
if Philadelphia makes the right decision, it will lock the city into
one technology that will be hard to displace. There is no such
thing...

Free WiFi Good For Business... But... It
Ain't Everything
08/03/2004 04:17 PMPopular bread maker Panera is making some noise today talking about
how wonderful their free
WiFi offering is going, saying that it has improved business.
They've found that it keeps customers in the stores longer --
especially during off-peak hours. Oddly, they don't say if it
actually increased sales, which is the key. Panera's claims sound
pretty similar to what
Schlotzs
ky's Deli had been saying about their free WiFi. Of course, some
of
Schlotz
sky's numbers seemed a tad overhyped, such as the claim that
40% of customers choose Schlotzsky's because of the WiFi. The
only way that really makes sense is if very few people are going to
Schlotzsky's at all... and, oops, that might just be the case. Today
the
c
hain declared bankruptcy. So, while free WiFi may be good for
bringing in business, it's certainly not the be all, end all of being
in business. You still need to sell some food and make some money.

Schlotzsky's Continues Their Free WiFi
Push
02/18/2004 07:58 PMSchlotzsky's has been the poster child for putting free WiFi access in
their restaurants, and their latest announcement
continues to support that decision, as they say they've found
that 40% of their customers cite the free WiFi as a factor in deciding
to go to Schlotzsky's to eat, while 6% say it was the key factor.
While we've been a big fan of this model (offering free WiFi to get
more customers), 40% sounds like an awfully large number. Considering
the number of folks you see using free WiFi at many locations, even
here in Silicon Valley, I'd be amazed if 40% of all customers at
Schlotzsky's were aware of the WiFi, so I'm curious how they measured
this. In the meantime, this program has clearly been a success for
Schlotzsky's, and I'm surprised that other large chains haven't
followed with similar plans. It seems that too many of the for-fee
WiFi guys are running around telling these chains just how much direct
revenue they're going to get by becoming an ISP, and neglecting all
the potential indirect revenue from new guests (or guests who come
during off-peak hours).

Free WiFi influences 40% of Schlotskys's
customers
02/18/2004 12:00 PMSchlotzky's is a deli chain that gives away free WiFi -- they were
among the first to do so, in a bold expeeriment at one of their
flagship restaurants on the main drag in Austin, TX, after Starbucks
set up shop directly across the street (Schlotsky's also took the
incredibly canny step of renaming their coffee sizes Tall, Grande, and
Venti and putting a starbusian combinatorial explosion of
caffeine-delivery systems on the menu). The company has released new
market research showing that free connectivity is a selection-factor
for
40 percent of its customers.
Glenn writes,
I've met the CEO and the marketing director when I invited the CEO to
speak at a panel I moderated at Wi-Fi Planet last year, and the most
interesting aspect of the Wi-Fi is that they're not excited about the
technology but its uses. There's a financial aspect to this, of
course: the average purchase price of a Schlotzsky's customer is about
$7.
But the CEO wasn't a geek; he liked seeing entire families or sports
teams or groups of parents and kids come in and spent time using the
high-speed connection. It's important to recall that a small but
significant minority of Internet users have broadband; for the rest,
Schlotzsky's offering is a profound (and free) pleasure.

``You get all the colds ... you have to be able to work through loud

As a person who spends hours each day at a coffeehouse, Smith is

Shadow Ops: Red Mercury
Shadow Ops: Red Mercury
06/16/2004 04:46 PM
MATT GALLANT -- Atari shipped Shadow
Ops: Red Mercury today for Xbox. Served up by developer Zombie
Studios, the game is by all reckoning a generic one-man army FPS.
Which isn't surprising, given that Zombie's last inspiration came from
the generic one-man and one-woman army movie Ballistic: Ecks vs.
Sever. Zombie was making a PS2 game based on the movie, but the
project was cancelled when, in an unfortunate accident, the movie
totally sucked.
Atari is pitching the game as an "interactive blockbuster", with a
modern military thriller storyline involving a trans-continental hunt
for a stolen nuclear device. This blockbuster is PG-13, or in
videogame parlance, T for Teen, which means no blood and lots of
explosions.

the sun -- so close that it would be as though 11 suns were beating
down on Earth.

“MESSENGER is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station, Fla., during a 13-day period that opens August 2, 2004. It
will return to Earth for a gravity boost in August 2005, then fly past
Venus twice, in October 2006 and June 2007. The spacecraft uses the
tug of Venus’ gravity to resize and rotate its trajectory closer to
Mercury’s orbit. Three Mercury flybys, each followed about two months
later by a course correction maneuver, put MESSENGER in position to
enter Mercury orbit in March 2011. During the flybys – set for January
2008, October 2008 and September 2009 – MESSENGER will map nearly the
entire planet in color, image most of the areas unseen by Mariner 10,
and measure the composition of the surface, atmosphere and
magnetosphere. It will be the first new data from Mercury in more than
30 years – and invaluable for planning MESSENGER’s yearlong orbital
mission.”
