 A recent trip to a coffee house had us thinking– why isn’t WiFi everywhere yet? Well, at loss for the answer to that one (though opinions explaining WiFi’s utter lack of ubiquity differ widely), we decided to ask another one–how can the wireless road warrior equip himself for navigating the mostly-uncharted seas of WiFi? The first tool for your wireless toolbelt is NetStumbler, a Windows app for discovering and probing WiFi access points. There’s also a Windows CE/Mobile version of NetStumbler that you can fire up on your Windows Mobile cell phone, if you’re really packing light. Mac users will want to try out JiWire, available in compact widget version for OS X, shown here. If none of those options do you any good, visit WiFinder, a site that’s sort of a MapQuest for WiFi hotspots. Though our initial test didn’t reveal a number of local spots we’re sure are actually there, we did uncover a few we never noticed before. WiFinder even knows where a few spots are in the Vatican.

| If you’re a long time makeuseof reader, at one point or another you may have seen several of these websites before. We have covered lots of lists and round-ups but this one is quite different: it lists undiscovered webservices that are original, rather unique, unusual, useful, free, and must-be bookmarked type. You won’t find any collaboration, storage or ToDo service here. Enjoy! |

One of the most entertaining aspects of Halo 3 is all of the statistics culled from each game. Some players out there may have noticed that their stats in game are not appearing correctly on Bungie.net. Lukems has made a post noting that Bungie is aware of the issue and it should be fixed posthaste. Ranks should be updated correctly once some maintenance is complete, though you’ll have to play at least one game of Halo 3 for your Bungie.net profile to update. It’s good that they’re fixing it, because otherwise no one would believe the tale of our awesome shotgun spree. Unless they watched our saved clip, of course (shameless plug, we know).
