Recently at the Security Convention DEFCON, some enterprising wi-fi gurus got an unamplified 802.11 network set up over a distance of 124.9 miles!

Oh and you know the new RFID chips everyone talks about using, espcially in credit cards? The credit Cards companies would like you to believe that they can only be picked up "a few inches away." The world record for communicating with a passive RFID device was set at 69 feet.

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
