FREW WIFI! (if youre house happens to be conveniently placed in Mountain view, California)

Google has rolled outs its free wifi service in Mountain view, California. The system is secure (very cool) because you have to download a google client (not so cool) to connect to the network. Google's service offers 300kb/s (nice) but is ad subsidised (there's no such thing as a free lunch). The service is to be rolled out over the whole of San Francisco, as well as a pay to use Earthlink service. But do you want Google to know what you surf for, download, upload etc. At least for me: No thanks! Also, where are the comments! Please comment on the articles! Feedback will only make the blog better. Please also use the "Social Mail" address for ideas! This blog is powered by the wisdom of the crowd but if there isn't any wisdom coming from the crowd then what am i to do for good posts. Mosts of the posts you see here are posts written after stories have been recommended to me by the Interweb community
