REALLY Free WiFi at Starbucks!

Posted on July 1, 2010 by max

Starbucks is starting their “REALLY” free wifi today, no registration or Starbucks membership required.  I think this is a good thing although I don’t have any reasons to actually go to Starbucks because I make Starbucks coffee at home, just the way I like it.

Why I don’t Like Limited Data Service from Cellular Companies! [AT&TFAIL]

Posted on June 3, 2010 by max

The other day I told you why I’ve boycotted AT&T long time ago and why you should too because AT&T has gotten rid of their unlimited data plans.

After, I’ve begun to see some new new blog posts by bloggers saying that their average use isn’t anywhere near 500MB/month, meaning they could save money with AT&T’s new limited data plan.

Wibro Egg (4G MiFi) Launched in South Korea!

Posted on May 25, 2010 by max

WiBro Egg, a wifi-tethering device using WiBro (which is like 4G WiMax pretty much), has been launched in South Korea.   Think of it as the MiFi device, except it’s about 10 times faster.

According to the test reports, it’s doing about 8Mbps down and 4Mbps up, not too shabby.

I know Sprint already has a “giant” 4G hotspot device, hopefully they will be adding smaller ones like this later this year.

Here’s a demo video of the device (in Korean):

I actually personally using one of these routers with DD-WRT, overclocked a bit, but this hack certainly will allow you to be on the very bleeding ed
