I'm thrilled with the convenience provided by wireless. The ability to roam the house with Wifi, or have any number of guests visit.
I love my wireless mouse on my laptop, and wireless keyboard on a media center. I understand that the theme of the post is "wireless", and you live in a place making wired impractical, however when possible I prefer wired. Wired Network connections are much more robust, faster (considering half-duplex vs. full duplex on Ethernet), and usually simpler to configure / setup (aside from having to pull wires). Also consider that there's only certain bands that the FCC allows for unlicensed activities, which means many of these wireless gizmos are trying to share the same frequencies, along with those of your neighbours. Unfortunately for me, other people who live here hate the look of exposed Ethernet, but if it were me, Wifi would only be used for the couch, for guests, and handheld devices. NASA Night Launch.

Goole has found itself under the watchful eye of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The US organisation has now said it will be investigating whether Google broke federal laws when its street-mapping service collected consumers' personal information. The investigation joins a long list of regulators and lawmakers, around the world, who are looking at what Google says was the inadvertent harvesting of private data sent over wireless networks.
It comes despite a decision by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to drop its probe into the company last month. Google has said it was "mortified" to learn its WiFi-equipped Street View cars had mistakenly collected entire emails and passwords in some instances. However, some lawmakers are having none of it. "In light of their public disclosure, we can now confirm that the Enforcement Bureau is looking into whether these actions violate the Communications Act.
" FTC abandons policy with Google snooping case closure - Charges everyone except Schmidt. The Federal Trade Commission let Google off the hook for its data breaches, and as every news outlet will tell you, they were pretty significant data breaches. Why? The FTC has come down like a ton of bricks and other cliches on companies that have done far less to threaten the consumer.
Google's investigation is closed and it is getting away with nary a fine. What on Earth is going on? It has stopped short of taking any action for similar cases. Let's take a look. Back in 2002, the FTC shouted at Microsoft for misrepresenting its Passport services and the information kept. Then, in 2006, it hit out at a company called ChoicePoint.
The FTC said CardSystems failed to implement safeguards and failed to use readily available security measures for its applications online. 2008 saw the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida grant an injunction against a company called CyberSpy Software. In the same year, 2009, it charged Sears Holding Management Corporation on similar lines. Law: Lamebook sues Facebook before it gets sued - Parody site brings in the legal hounds. LavaFox V1.
