The other day, my Internet service went down as it does from time to time. But this particular time, I needed to check my e-mail for an important reply I was expecting. After some frustrating time passed, I happened to notice that there was a Wi-Fi signal available. I have no idea to whom the service belonged but I suspected it belonged to one of my neighbors. It had a generic name of "NETGEAR" and it was unlocked. I decided to see if it was accessible and it was. I was able to check my e-mail and download the important document that was attached to it. Now my question to you is if I did anything wrong by using my neighbor's unlocked Wi-Fi signal to get my email and do a little web surfing afterward. http://www.physorg.com/news177157733.html Technology Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:10:01 EST news177157733 (AP) -- The Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve are giving U.S. financial institutions an additional six months to comply with regulations designed to ban Internet gambling. http://www.physorg.com/news178551993.html Technology Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:10:01 EST news178551993
