Some I/T and tech news for your enjoyment:
* Virginia ISP's silently block some web sites.
* This should make "Rob the Slob" happy.
* Walking on sunshine?
* Why is this even legal? If an individual borrows an unprotected wifi connection (to check mail for example), he goes to jail. If you work for Skyhook Wireless, it is part of the job. From their own web site:
Scanning
Job Summary: Skyhook is looking for drivers that are familiar with US metro areas to drive large sections of cities in order to passively gather wireless information. This is a full time position that is short/medium term. Drivers will be provided with a wi-fi scanning device and maps with specific target areas of the city. There are no stops, just driving and letting the device scan. Drivers should understand the following:
- This is difficult work and requires a systematic approach to achieve the objective
- Drivers must commit to 40 hours a week
- Drivers must have a license, a car in good working order, and insurance
- Some technological knowledge is helpful
