WiFi wickedness

After last week’s launch of the City of London WiFi network, Neil Plumridge at Intergraph has the device of choice for the rest of us.
‘My monthly spam from Orange says it is offering the PVP WiFi Max for £12.95,’ he says. He quotes: ‘If your laptop, PVP or radio picks up WiFi, you will need to know where those invisible rays are located, so you can log on for some fun. This little key ring will tell you where the signal is and how strong it is. You never know, standing outside businesses with WiFi might just give you free access to the internet. Cheeky, eh?’
As Neil points out: ‘I think any buyers of this might find that standing outside businesses with WiFi might just give them free access to a 9ft x 6ft cell.’
