Review: In a wireless network, does the computer server record in its history all the sites visited by the computer with a wireless connection?

Review: Mat, if Wi-Fi doesn't stand for wireless fidelity, then what does it stand for? You claim that it's not, but you don't provide an alternative. So, in your most wise view, what the heck does it stand for then?

Review: On my miniMac I can see from two to four net ports, depending on whether the other net is up. Since we have taken several precautions our net name is invisible. The hidden weakness was in the phone company DSL modem. It defaulted to an open name and anyone could use it. Since we use Airport we found the reference on how to turn off the modem wireless, something any Airport user should do. Others with separate hubs could also do same. One can have a laptop and go a half mile and find many open net links. Since we have no need or desire to snoop we ignore them. Another hint is to turn off hubs and modems if you are out of town. Stop megabytes of spam--it's a reasonable precaution. Same if one uses an internal hub like we do. A business that is closed at night might also want to consider these precautions. A simple time clock might do the trick.

Review: Wi-Fi does not mean wireless fidelity. That doesn't even make sense. I do admit that the term is a bit misleading. Fi stands for fidelity everywhere else, but look up the origin of the term sometime (especially before you use it in an article). ;).

Review: "Wi-Fi" is not short for wireless fidelity.

Review: This article points out a major source of irritation for me--what good does it do you to have an online tutorial on securing your wireless network, if you're afraid to go online in the first place? Why wouldn't the manufacturers ship those tutorials as a "Read Me" with the products so that the end user can secure their network as they set it up? Duh.

Review: This author should write for the Technology & You column. The subject is actually relevant to an end user that actually uses the tech.
