WiFi Woes
June 6, 2007
From Steve Smith
WiFi has become as indispensible to my home entertainment as it is the bane of my existence. Virtually all of my favorite toys are dependent on my home network now: the AppleTV, the PS3, the Xbox 360 and the Wii. Yeah, I know, I’m not going to register a lot of pity with this trove of goodies under my HDTV, but someday most of you will have a similar set of wireless devices, all sucking on an 802.11b/g/n cloud that is supposed to be floating up from the basement router. Well, maybe on a good day, with a lot of humidity in the air

From News
It’s a marriage that’s been happening quite a bit in the IT portion of the CE space — an IP telephony and a networking company … well … networking. The latest is partnership between Vonage and

From College Gear Guide
Remember the days when you had to pay for long distance telephone calls? Oh wait! Of course you don’t remember. You were like in middle school or something. Well, take it from me. There was a time when you did. And no matter how hard you tried to save money for the weekend, your girlfriend/boyfriend ate every cent by demanding you spend eight hours a week (at 10 cents-a-minute) listening to how much they didn’t like their roommates or how their professor was a total jerk and didn’t “get them.” Well, there are fringe benefits (no, it’s not french benefits) to being a student ID
You Make the Call
June 2006
From E-Gear
For people looking to save some money on their home telephone bills, VoIP is more than a four-letter word. “Voice over Internet Protocol” is a way to make and take as many calls as you want, for little (and sometimes no) money at all. There was a time several years ago when most of these services were difficult to use and quality was severely lacking. But that’s not the case anymore. In fact, some of the services we tried out for this review actually provide better sound quality than your local telephone company. Even better for you, the competition has really heated up.
Wi-Fi Music
May 2006
From E-Gear
Wireless media bridges span the airwaves The way we experience music is changing. Not long ago, you'd hear a song on the FM dial, wait for the album to hit stores and then throw it in the CD changer when you got it home. Today we listen to satellite radio, download individual songs over the Internet and the only reason we touch our CDs is to rip them for playback on our iPods. Like I said, things are changing. Die-hard audiophiles will tell you the sky is falling and compressed music is the embodiment of pure Evil. I take my music a little
