The Assassination of Wi-Fi

justelite writes "John C. Dvorak from PC Magazine has up an article looking at the new strategy of American cell-phone-service companies. From article: 'There is mounting evidence that the cellular service companies are going to do whatever they can to kill Wi-Fi. After all, it is a huge long-term threat to them. We've seen that the route to success in America today is via public gullibility and general ignorance. And these cell-phone-service companies are no dummies.'"

    Do you mean gay pride, or the Pride fighting championship?

    Judging by his name... I'd say Gay Pride.

    I've often wondered why Slashdot "editors" allow / write these types headline when the article clearly doesn't support them. I believe it's because it them higher pagerank in a general Google search, and often front page exposure at Google News for random unsupported crap like this. The result is higher page views which of course is more money for The Core Slashdot Team.

  4. Pay for a whole day's access at the airport? by gelfling · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I haven't see a free AP at an airport. Typically they force you to subscribe to Boingo for a 'Full day's access for $7.95' which excuse me, is a fucking joke.
