In January 2005 I actually wrote a topic concerning such an issue, 8 months down the line and the topic is brought up again. Reading back the product which was announced by Kodak was said to become availiable in June. Well everyone forgot about that one, but now Nikon has released one and it’s reported on Slashdot. If you look at the title of the article i’ve quoted from, you’ll see that it says the ‘Worlds First Built-In WiFi Cameras’. I’ve never seen anyone with a WiFi camera, so it’d be interesting to see what happend with that Kodak one. Anyways –...

Well you may have read my recent post on Cutting the cords (recommended read), well to add to the topic I read today about adding to the security to WiFi. This seems like a very efficient way too! Intel is developing a new way to secure WiFi networks. The new technology aims to locate a WiFi user by timing how long it takes for packets to travel to and from a wireless access point, which could prevent users outside a house or office from accessing a WiFi network indoors. Precision location technology is one of several key ideas for the next few years that Justin Rattner, Intel senior fellow...

From the title it isn’t very hard to work out what this is all about. Wireless is the future, as a matter of fact, wireless is the present. I currently have a WiFi network in my house at 54MB/s, connected to multiple computers, devices and what have you. As a matter of fact I think all of the UNN reporters have wireless networks in their own houses! I know for a fact that Hamza (11b) and Qasim (54g) do! There were of course some disadvantages of the wireless connectivity, WiFi. It always starts with cost, when things start off they are, naturally, expensive. This really applies to just about...

Makes you wonder when you’re at Starbucks, if your connection really is safe. Attackers interfere with a connection to the legitimate network by sending a stronger signal from a base station close to the wireless client, turning the fake access point into a so-called evil twin. "Evil twin hot-spots present a hidden danger for Web users," said Phil Nobles, an academic researcher who specializes in wireless Internet and cybercrime. "Because wireless networks are based on radio signals, they can be easily detected by unauthorized users tuning into the same frequency." Thanks...

"This week will see many ‘new’ digicams released at CES but few will be more than cosmetic tweaks and updates on current models. However Kodak have just announced something new (for them) – a Wi-Fi enabled digital camera that enables online photo sharing and viewing without the need for a computer. It also has 256MB of internal memory and stores up to 1500 images." Of course, to actually get on a wireless network, a special card is required for the camera, and the firmware has yet to support WEP, so one has to wait until a Q3 2005 update to join most authenticated networks....
