Word that Brett Favre broke the NFL’s touchdown pass record shot around the world pretty fast today, but if Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has anything to do with it, you’ll be hearing about such things even faster in 2015, when the group and several private companies intend to launch a next-generation optical...
Why municipal wireless networks have been such a...
By Tim Wu Posted Thursday, Sept. 27, 2007, at 12:53 PM ET It’s hard to dislike the idea of free municipal wireless Internet access. Imagine your town as an oversized Internet cafe, with invisible packets floating everywhere as free as the air we breathe. That fanciful vision inspired many cities to announce the creation of free wireless networks in recent years. This summer, reality...

KDev intros cameraphone-friendly FoxBox MMS →
Filed under: Cellphones, Networking
If the original Linux-based FoxBox SMS didn’t boast quite the capabilities you were looking for, then perhaps KDev’s upgraded FoxBox MMS will be more to your liking. Like the original FoxBox, it’ll act as a cellphone-to-web gateway, in this case accepting photos sent from a cameraphone via MMS and putting ‘em straight up onto the web...
Niveus shares official details on Media Center... →
Filed under: Home Entertainment, Networking
Technically, Niveus was the first of the major partners to spill the proverbial beans on its Extender for Windows Media Center, and while it was sitting around for all to see at CEDIA, details were admittedly slim. Now, however, the firm has come clean and doled out the specs for its Media Center Extender - EDGE, following the moves made by Linksys and...
Linksys' DMA2100 / DMA2200 Media Center Extenders... →
Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Networking
Remember those Linksys Media Center Extenders that popped up yesterday? Well, today the duo has officially been priced, but there’s no good news for folks hoping for these two to undercut the other guys. Up first is the DMA2200, which will of course sport an integrated “upscaling DVD player” along with the obligatory dual-band...
Microsoft, HP add Media Center Extender... →
Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Networking
Just in case Linksys and D-Link’s introductions weren’t enough to satisfy, Microsoft is now announcing yet another partner in its refreshed Extenders for Windows Media Center effort. Beginning in “early 2008,” owners of HP’s current 42- and 47-inch MediaSmart LCD HDTVs will be able to utilize all of the features of...
D-Link's DGL-4500 Gaming Router in the wild →
Filed under: Features, Gaming, Wireless, Networking
With that pesky FCC spilling the beans this week on the DGL-4500, D-Link was forced to show it off at tonight’s Showstoppers event in NY before it was fully ready for prime time. They didn’t have any extra info on the device, and they tucked away a similar Xtreme N router clad in white when we walked up, but at least we got to check...
D-Link's DSM-750 Media Center Extender gets... →
Filed under: Home Entertainment, Networking
Right on cue, D-Link has made its own Media Center Extender official on the same day as Linksys. The DSM-750, which strangely boasts the exact same model number as a different product we heard about at CES, becomes the latest in the firm’s MediaLounge lineup and enables “high-speed, uninterrupted wireless (or wired) streaming and sharing of...

Excel 2007 BUG
The attached spreadsheet demonstrates an Excel 2007 multiplication bug that was recently announced on Slashdot. It has been reported to Microsoft and will hopefully be fixed real soon. Cell A3 contains a formula that multiplies cell A1 times A2. The answer should be 65,535 but it shows the answer as being 100,000. Cell B3 contains a formula that multiplies cell A3 times two. It gives 131,070 which...

The company is showing off the wireless broadband modem at the WiMAX World conference in Chicago this week, and seems bullish...
