Re: its true

Actually, I bought a Linky a short while ago and they made it pretty hard to not set up security. I had my own setup in mind and didn't want to use their "wizard".

Re: Liksys?

There's plenty of people who have the standard SSID of "linksys" and never bother to put on security. Free access for all.

The article left out one thing

Of course, T-Mobile is going to require the user's credit card, and if not cancelled after the 90 day trial period.

Who needs T-mobile hotspot, just stop by any big apartment building and chances are it will have multiple open wifi and wep(that can easily be cracked)

Couldn't people trick T-mobile to think they had VISTA?

Couldn't people trick T-Mobile to think they had Vista? On firefox they have the User Agent plug-in that allows you to change what sites think your OS and browser might be. So maybe people will trick tmobile that they have IE 7 with Vista... Might just be free for anyone for 90 days!

I've used them quite a few times. They are great though the speeds can vary quite a bit

90 Whole days!

Cool!
Too bad you have to buy the DVD and install it next Wed/Thur so you can use the wireless for those 90 days.

Or, you can avoid the Starbucks(and the $5.00 coffee) altogether and use whatever OS you have and just go to a Public Library or Mom and Pop coffee shop and get free WiFi... anytime!

Me? I've been getting free(legal) WiFi for years!
