Any hands-on experience with the Airport Extreme?

DD-WRT ($0.00)

Asus WL-500w ($100.00)

DD-WRT v24 supports external disks for NAS

I've had Airport Extreme Alien Edition, it worked solidly but without 1/10th the features DD-WRT offers.

Besides my favorite TCP tunnelling, you can setup virtual wireless interfaces, all with differing security protocols, passwords, etc.

There will be issues if you try and do WDS with the Airport Expresses with WPA encryption on DD-WRT, but if you're just using them as wireless bridges, you'll be okay. Unless, you're trying to stream audio to speakers, via Express. I don't think that is possible, yet.

iPhone's "Location" feature helps explain open cell platforms

January 23, 2008 8:51am

On my iPhone cell-tower triangulation using Navizon approximates my location within 500 ft. Whereas the WiFi location is off by thousands of miles frequently and accurate very occasionally.

I don't get the impression that both Wifi and Edge signals are used simultaneously to pinpoint location, but one or the other.

@#1 -- I don't see how any mobile phone platform outside of OpenMoko is truly open. With the exception of the latest firmwared iPhones, installing third party apps is an exercise in following a simple tutorial.

New Ubuntu Linux release is easy, sexy

I'm glad to know you're liking the Linux. Whenever you get around to writing the article, I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

I hope when you gave away the Powerbook you had the PPC version of Ubuntu loaded onto it.

There's even a PPC release of Gutsy that runs on old Macs and PS3's.

FOSS FTW
