How to survive configuring and securing a wireless LAN III: The Missing MAC
This is the third installment in the saga of my ongoing effort to configure
a locked-down wireless security setup for my home. Last time I had set up
MAC address filtering security for my Linksys Wireless-G router. MAC address
filtering takes advantage of the fact that every computer's network adapter
has a unique hardware identifier, called the physical address, or media
access control (MAC) address. This feature lets you limit access to your
wireless network to only those MAC addresses you put on your approved list.

Shark Tank: Unclear on the Concept
This accountant is in charge of IT for his division at this bank, but he has
no IT experience -- and sometimes it shows. He announces at a business
continuity planning meeting that instead of sending his bookkeepers to an
off-site location to test the disaster recovery procedures, he wants them to
remote into the PCs at the other site to complete their tests, sighs an IT
manager pilot fish.

Whoa! What a surprise! Nobody wants mobile TV
Mobile TV is one of those goofy ideas that the cellular industry has been
clinging to as a way to increase profits. But it was hardly a surprise that
