Quick update: Here's
another blurb on NASA's latest:
NASA says the new system is designed to be 10 times safer than the space shuttle.
It always makes me feel safe when they start measuring safety like that. Does this mean they
won't ignore warnings from the engineers who build the stuff this time?
Also, it looks like Google is actually
offering WiFi (in the SanFran area?) now, including a "secure access client" download that will make your WiFi connection "more secure".. Well, duh. We'll see about that. The Wired article I linked to is pretty heavy in the
this-might-stretch-Google-too-far speak, but let's wait and see what they're actually going to do first, hmm? Maybe this, in the end, is why they're selling a
wireless hotspot finder. heh.
