London to Turn 'Every Lamppost' into WiFi Hotspot

London's mayor, Boris Johnson, has said that plans to blanket the city in WiFi by 2012 will involve putting a WiFi router or repeater in every lamppost and bus stop in England's capital.


Over the years, we've heard several plans to turn towns or cities in giant WiFi hotspots and each time, we've become suitably excited. Imagine never having to fight for a power outlet and make a $3 cup of coffee last three hours while you finish that assignment; you could work from a bench at the park instead! Unfortunately, plans for citywide WiFi in San Francisco didn't quite work out and Philadelphia's city WiFi was shut off because the operator, EarthLink, deemed it too costly to continue. The history of citywide WiFi is a depressing one, so we're skeptical of anyone who says they're going to employ municipal WiFi.

Apple Rejects Cold, Hard Cash at its Own Stores

Physical money isn't good enough to buy an iPad.

The iPad is opening up computing possibilities for many other non-traditional users, such as dogs, cats and even those nearing 100 years old.
Diane Campbell, who is disabled and on a fixed income, wishes to go onto YouTube to learn some new songs to play on her guitar. Instead of getting a computer, she's been saving up for an iPad. Slowly she saved up $600 in cash and proceeded to the Apple Store in Palo Alto, Calif.
"It took quite a long time for me to just save up this small amount of money to go down and purchase one," she said to ABC local station KGO. "I had my cash in the backpack and I went up proudly to the counter and told them, 'I would like to purchase an iPad.'"

OmniVision Makes World's Smallest 1080p Camera

Get ready to view cam addicts in a whole new form of clarity.
Ready for your close up? OmniVision this week introduced the OV2720, which it claims is the world's first 1/6-inch, native 1080p/30 high-definition CMOS image sensor designed for notebook, netbook, webcam and video conferencing applications. Based on OmniVision’s 1.4 micron OmniBSI backside illumination technology, the new 1080p sensor delivers video conference quality HD video recording in a small enough form factor (z-height of 3.5 mm) to meet the module size and height requirements of today's thin notebook designs.
