Worth Reading?
Everyone loves free WiFi. There’s just something about that feeling you get when you’re out-and-about with your laptop and suddenly you can get internet access.
Linksys has a new gadget that makes finding open WiFi connections even easier. Just plug it into an open USB port, and it will notify you of any open connections, and automatically connect you.
For $79 it isn’t a bad deal. Though these days most laptops already have a wireless adapter built-in. So I guess that this is aimed at those users that have older hardware.
