Wireless vs. wireless

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (June 22, 2010) — 3G and Wi-Fi are the two main mobile communications technologies today, but until recently they have been complementary services, the former offering users network access through cell phone masts forming a wide-area network (WAN), the latter based on hot-spot connections through a local-area network (LAN). Both then provide connectivity to the web, email and other services.

Danger in the internet cafe? New computer security threat for wireless networks: Typhoid adware

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (May 24, 2010) — There's a potential threat lurking in your internet café, say University of Calgary computer science researchers. It's called Typhoid adware and works in similar fashion to Typhoid Mary, the first identified healthy carrier of typhoid fever who spread the disease to dozens of people in the New York area in the early 1900s.

"Our research describes a potential computer security threat and offers some solutions,"...
