Wireless Internet Access Uses Visible Light, Not Radio Waves
An anonymous reader writes to tell us that a company has demonstrated a new form of wireless communication that uses light instead of radio waves. "Its inventor, St. Cloud resident John Pederson, says visible-light embedded wireless data communication is the next step in the evolution of wireless communications, one that will expand the possibilities in phone and computer use. The connection provides Web access with almost no wiring, better security and with speeds more than eight times faster than cable."
WARNING!
Do not look at the internet with your remaining eye.

I got that warning after my first goatse encounter. I've been really cautious since.
This is where you are wrong, sir. And you can test it yourself. Create an HTML document and set the background color past "#FF0000". Crank it up to "#ZZ0000" and your monitor will then begin blasting radio waves at your face.
A slashdotter who didn't build his own computer is like a Jedi who didn't build his own lightsaber.
Yes, but it would be easy to gain unauthorized access to your wireless network if you have windows.
Why does that sound familiar?

Great, now I can watch the girl next door change AND leech her wireless with my telescope.
I may agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to face the consequences of saying it.
