The Airport Extreme, version n, dissected

Stuffed in: 2 Airport

Nice review and dissection complete with photos.

Apple recently released their first "n-capable" base station. As usual, this base station is packaged in a beautiful case, whose form factor appears to have been chosen expressly to fit under a Apple-TV™ or Mac Mini™. Moreover, unlike previous base stations, it's design nods towards the need for cooling: The base station incorporates an intake strip around the edge at the bottom of the case, and the crease along the top is acts as an exhaust.

Travel tip: Avoid airport rogue wifi networks

Stuffed in: 2 Hack
I was recently at New York's JFK airport in the JetBlue terminal, where they have prominent signs offering free wi-fi, courtesy of the airline. But when I went to connect, I noticed that several options were available including one labeled "default" and another labeled "JetBlue free hotspot." It turns out that the former was the actual free hotspot and the latter was the honeypot.

How to Survive an Airport Trip With Your Kids

Stuffed in: 2 Airport

As usual common sense advice prevails. I had higher hopes for this article - "give every kid a gameboy"? - please, how about a book.

If you’re like most parents, the one part of winter vacation you dread the most is keeping your kids occupied during a two-, three- or five-hour plane trip. In the larger scheme of things, though, the time spent in the air is the easy part; what you should really be concerned about is herding your kids into and through your local airport, and through and out of the airport on the other end. Here’s how to go about it.

I think the real problem is keeping kids occupied while you are flying but then most of our flights with children are at least 12 hours.
