Thanks to the sterling work of the Times Online I now know that 54% of all computer users have ‘illegally logged on to someone else’s wi-fi connection’. Wow. That’s.. a lot of people. Further down the article I find that this statistic comes from Sophos, and some googling (it’s really hard to google for ‘54%’ and ‘wireless’) gets the Exciting Press Release proper.

Where apparently, in an on-line survey (paid for by the Times Online), they asked the single question ‘Have you ever used someone else’s Wi-Fi connection without their permission?’. And 54% of people said ‘Yes’. There’s an exciting quote from.. a Sophos employee. And there’s a nice

Menubar utility that’ll tell you which of the available wireless networks are closed/open. Why doesn’t the built-in wireless menu do this? Free, too. Yay.

On the palm foleo and Plans. I have a Nokia N800 myself, and use it with the t-mobile unlimited data plan, and it’s just great. Internet wherever I am. Something small with a KB would be even better. But the foleo is a little large..
