Reveal Wireless Keys

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Feb 14th @ 7:47 AM
Forgot the WEP or WPA key to a wireless network? If you've ever connected to that network from your PC, then the key can be retrieved. The freeware utility WirelessKeyView will reveal the keys to any network you've ever connected to using Windows' Wireless Zero Configuration (not 3rd party software). You can use the software to delete keys from old networks you no longer need and copy keys to the clipboard to send or save. This could be really useful when you're setting up your new laptop or if you need to give a key to a friend so they can use your wi-fi, but you can't remember your home network's key .You can download WirelessKeyView from here.

Microsoft Auto at CES 2008

Posted By: Laura Foy | Jan 15th @ 8:11 AM
This was by far the best part of the Bill Gates keynote for me and probably the highlight of the show overall. Microsoft Auto showed of 2 new great technologies to make all of our driving experiences more pleasant with a focus on the Sync My Ride technology. I can't wait to get this in my car. Not only does it offer voice activated features with your wireless MP3 player and your bluetooth mobile phone- but you will be blown away at the excellent text messaging options. Well, at least I was. Take a look and you be the judge.

Upload Photos from Your Camera to the Web

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Nov 14th, 2007 @ 10:57 AM
The Eye-Fi Card is a breakthrough new product that everyone with a digital camera needs to know about. It's a 2GB SD card and wireless memory card that automatically uploads pictures from your digital camera or PC directly to the photo sharing site, photo printing site, blog, or social network of your choice. The Eye-Fi Card stores pictures like a regular SD card, up to 2 GB, and then uploads your photos automatically as soon as you return to your home network (or any open Wi-Fi network that doesn't require a login via an initial splash screen webpage...like Starbucks). Amazingly, the card already works with a myriad of services, including Kodak, Walmart, Snapfish, Photobucket, Facebook, Webshots, Phanfare, Shutterfly, flickr, TypePad, Vox, Sharpcast, and many more.

Free T-Mobile HotSpot access for Vista users

Posted By: JD Lewin | Jan 25th, 2007 @ 10:57 AM
There are already plenty of reasons to upgrade to Windows Vista, but if you need another, how about free WiFi access? T-Mobile and their pink planet is offering Vista users access to their HotSpot network. The details can be found at Sky Surprise, which features at least 7 minutes of entertainment courtesy of Yuri and Sergey, Soviet Cosmoauts and Vista hucksters. Good luck decoding the mysteries of deep space, and remember that, in space, "No one can resist the smell of toast."
