WiFi On Two Wheels

Posted by timothy on from the steve-mcqueen dept.

MeGaBiTe1 writes "Yury Gitman is not the average cyclist from Brooklyn. His goal is to bring more easily accessible free wireless hotspots to the masses. To do this, he has created what he calls the Magicbike, a bicycle equipped with a laptop, power supply and antenna. Gitman's bike has allowed people in NYC to browse the internet freely in local parks and gardens. 'I am like the ice cream man, but with no music and I deliver free wireless access and not ice cream'."

  2. RUSTY FOSTER VIOLATED AMERICAN LAW by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Rusty Foster, the man who started Kuro5hin.org, is a violator of American tax laws governed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS.gov) group.

    We demand that he, Rusty Foster, be censured immediately from his Maine home and sent to federal, pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

    It's only fair. He lied to us. He lied to you. He lied to himself. He lied to his unborn children and ruined the family name.

    Things will never be the same ever again...

    These guys are fucking killing our brave men and women in the armed services. But as soon as one of our people slaps a captured Iraqi solider or suicide bomber in the face there is national outrage. If it were up to me, I'd just fucking nuke everyone who wasn't a white Christian and be done with it. Well, I'd let the Israelis live, too, cause we need someone to make fun off but won't kill us.
