Theres a big wireless initiative going on at the moment with the government and Bt (i believe) bringing in wireless cities and then broadening further.

plus companies like The cloud

Wifimax is a initiative to get broadband out there without needing cables. People like 3 are doing well in this space in fact for £10 a month you can have broadband from them via a usb dongle. Once their network is HSPDA enabled across teh counrty the need for a physical line will have gone.

Best way to clean a keyboard (not laptop or powereed wireless ones please! ) is to chuck it in the shower. dry it slowly in an airing cupboard befor plugging it back in and it will be fine

I wouldn't feel comfortable getting my laptop out in Accy McDonalds. I'd be too scared that someone would run off with it. :eek:

Re: Mcdonalds now has Wifi
 

I eat allsorts at mine with having to do most of my studying on the laptop. The keyboard has a few crumbs down it, but its the screen that gets really filthy. I've had it a year and I've typed so much on it that the surface of the keys is wearing off and they're looking like normal 'untextured' plastic. Funnily enough the actual letters aren't wearing off.

I forgot about PSP's, though I thought phones mainly used GPS rather than wifi.

Re: Mcdonalds now has Wifi
 

I use the wifi in mcdonalds on my iphone whenever I'm in or around. Infact I used it tonight whilst going through the drive through :D

Re: Mcdonalds now has Wifi
 

I'm guessing its not a secure network then?

Re: Mcdonalds now has Wifi
 

What do you mean by that? Its free wifi so no its not got WEP encryption or anything. The login page appears when you try and access a webpage while connected to the wireless network and all you have to do is put your information into it. Which is just name+email+postcode (all of which you can just put false ones for if you don't wish to hand them over).

Re: Mcdonalds now has Wifi
 

Phones can have GPS (which is global positioning system) e.g. N95 , you might be thinking of GPRS which is data transfer which is a bit slower than 3G.


The N80 was the first mobile with wifi which is why I got it. I use it all the time.
