Lots of common sense stuff from the article...

The article largely boils down to common sense tips, so I'm not sure why this is newsworthy. Is it really newsworthy to know that if there is a mirror, consider moving at least part of your load to that mirror?
Still, some good common sense information can be found, and the article is worth a read.
There's just no good reason to send plain text over a wireless line. Not only can any private citizen with a decent radio setup listen in, now the government will listen in, too.
What's needed is a good wireless encryption standard with good firmware decoding. A simple hardware setup with centralized servers containing public keys would be a fantastic way for a wireless company to earn my business.
The pdf at Sun Research given in the article above seems to be just presentation fodder rather than real research. After digging around the Sun Research site, I came across this page which details their public papers on asynchronous design with some badly broken HTML. Viewing the source and picking through the pieces, I found a much better summary of FLEETZero. The conclusion and future works section is particularly interesting, especially the part about FLOTILLA (a number of FLEET processors working in conjunction) and the potential limitations of the architecture. Well worth reading.
