  1. Happening Everywhere... on How to Take Over a Train Station · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Last year or so I booted my laptop in an airport (which will not be specified)...suddenly I'm connected wtih a signal of about 60% to the airport's wireless network.

    I enjoyed about ten minutes of free internet access. At least it wasn't as bad as it could have been for them. There were no shared files or printers, nor could I see any other computer on their workgroup.

  2. Where the analogy REALLY applies... on Is iPod the Razor or the Blade? · · Score: 1

    Is in regards to inkjet printers and cartridges. Companies are selling printers now for ridiculously low prices, probably at a loss, and then selling cartridges for huge prices. One could argue of the alternative ways to refill ink (ways to reuse them by manually refilling ink, buying no-name cartridges, etc), but in reality, the masses will buy replacements for their printer from the brandname. Printers are the razor, cartridges are the blade. And apparently it's working, since so many decent inkjet printers are readily available new for $99 or less, and have been so for a few years already. iPod and iTMS? For reasons already stated by other posters, I don't think it applies so much.
