Having found Ossama bin Laden, making Iraq a safe place to live, and winning the war on conventional terrorism, the Department of Homeland Security is going after terrorists in the last place they can hide: World of Warcraft.

Your tax money is going to the Reynard project, where US intellegence agents are scouting out Azeroth for “suspicious behavior”, most likely Orks in turbans.

We might be seeing more hubs like this in the near future. As wireless broadband gets less high-priced and technologies like WiMAX get competitive, 3G routers will start popping up. They’re relatively cheap and a great way to share a high-speed connection with multiple users in areas where you can’t get regular Internet access. Dave Zatz […]

We might be seeing more hubs like this in the near future. As wireless broadband gets less pricey and technologies like WiMAX get competitive, 3G routers will begin popping up. They’re relatively cheap and a great way to share a high-speed connection with multiple users in areas where you can’t get regular World wide web access.

Dave Zatz likes the CradlePoint MBR1000, going so far as to advocate it might be the best EVDO router ever. We haven’t used it, so we can’t say, but it certainly sounds impressive; he was able to get it unpacked, configured, and running with his gear in less than five minutes.

But I’m not one to gush about tech I haven’t experienced myself, so pop over to Dave’s excellent site and have a look for yourself.

While the USA is busy shooting satellites out of the sky, Japan is launching new Internet service birds. It just orbited the WINDS, or Wideband Internetworking Engineering test and Development Satellite. Clever acronym. The goal of the spacecraft is to deliver high-speed access to far-flung corners of Asia where traditional, wired Internet access can be […]

While the USA is busy shooting satellites out of the sky, Japan is launching new Internet service birds. It just orbited the WINDS, or Wideband Internetworking Engineering test and Development Satellite. Clever acronym. The goal of the spacecraft is to deliver high-speed access to far-flung corners of Asia where traditional, wired Internet access can be difficult to come by.

Not everyone thinks it’s needed though, as 95% of Japan is covered by conventional connectivity. The real question, critics say, is whether or not a digital divide in Japan exists. If so, the satellite addresses it. If not, it’s a waste of metal and plastic.

T-Mo is doing something interesting. Not only do they want to be your cell carrier, they want to provide your home landline service, too. Of course, with its new all-you-can-talk plans this is redundant, but for $10 including long distance, why not have a landline? People will call you “old school”, in a good way. The […]

T-Mo is doing something interesting. Not only do they want to be your cell carrier, they want to provide your home landline service, too. Of course, with its new all-you-can-talk plans this is redundant, but for $10 including long distance, why not have a landline? People will call you “old school”, in a good way.

The new system uses your current phone and a T-Mobile broadband router, so it takes advantage of your World wide web connection to make things happen. VOIP from T-Mobile is interesting, and who knows how far they might go?

I want T-Mo TV.
