From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
An anonymous security researcher in Switzerland is claiming the popular PHP script program Glype may not cloak your identity online. Web server administrators sometimes use Glype to set up free anonymous proxy servers on the Web. If misconfigured as this researcher describes, proxy servers that use Glype may be exposing the very client IP addresses and other identifying information they are designed to hide. That's not good.

Do Anonymous Proxies Really Protect Your Identity Online?
Do you use anonymizing proxies or some other methods in an attempt to hide your IP and guard your online privacy? It may not be working as well as you think. You can share your feedback and experiences here:
iPad 3G vs Wi-Fi Connections

Those who have been using the 3G version of Apple iPad notice that it behaves somewhat differently when connected via the cellular link rather than Wi-Fi. This is by design.

Finding and Using Wi-Fi Hotspots
Wi-Fi hotspots supply Internet access in public locations like downtown centers, cafes, airports and hotels, sometimes for free. Hotspots can help you stay connected wirelessly while on the go.

What Is Cisco CleanAir?
It's not an air purifier or a dirt detector. CleanAir is actually wireless interference monitoring technology newly announced by Cisco. Will this technology ever make it into your home? I doubt it.
