“Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?” The great poet Robert Browning would have done well working for eFusion, the developer of a free application called eWiFi for the iPod Touch.
The premise of eWiFi is terrific. It promises to extend the reach of the iPod’s wifi capabilities and locate networks that would otherwise remain unseen. I put eWiFi to the test and it immediately located four networks in my office where I normally get zero networks.
Two networks were from outside the building and were password protected. One was

Pirate ISP: Anon For All
by Jason Lightner July 28th, 2010 | Communications, Computers, Cyber Culture
The Swedish Pirate Party (Piratpartiet), a political party whose main platforms include copyright and patent reform, have recently taken their efforts one step further and have launched an ISP (internet service provider). Dubbed "Pirate ISP," the service seeks to offer anonymity to its users and to provide financial assistance to Piratpartiet.
Born out of the controversy surrounding the BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay, Pirate ISP was deemed necessary to ensure that competition flourished in the Swedish ISP market and that users who wished to file-share would be protected against the efforts of the Swedish anti-piracy lobby group,

Amazon: The Ultimate Online Marketplace

It is the end of your second semester and first year of your private university. You have this pile of $1000 worth of textbooks sitting in your basement, untouched, unscathed. What do you do?
You learned from first semester that you CAN actually get $.25 back for a book. (Yes this ACTUALLY happened to ME). At this point, something has got to give, so you explore your options. Then, BING! Amazon.com becomes your new best friend.
Here is how it works: you create a selller profile by first establishing a seller name. Here are some suggestions (of course you have to

iPhone 4 complaints
by Bea July 21st, 2010 | Cell Phones
Now that the iPhone 4 has had some time to circulate around a bit, I thought that I would go over some of the most common complaints about the iPhone 4. Although I am sure that Apple will probably fix most of the bugs in a free software update in a few months, they are still worth mentioning.
Perhaps one of the biggest issues that has been causing a lot of buzz is the antennae issue. The point of having the antenna wrap around the phone was to give users more service and because putting the antenna inside of the phone would

Reddit to be Sold?
by Jason Lightner July 16th, 2010 | Cyber CultureFor those who don't know, Reddit is a social news website that was launched back in 2005. The website operates in the vein of sites like Digg, where users are able to submit stories and either vote them up (to the front page) or vote them down (to oblivion).
