From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
Finalists of the 2010 Bluetooth Innovation World Cup have been announced. Remote control grill versus the field - which would you choose to win?

Wireless Broadband Through Grandma's TV Antenna
Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) claims to have invented a method to support wireless broadband through building antennas (a.k.a. aerials) formerly used to receive analog television signals. And not via Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi (where CSIRO has a patent, you may recall).

Mad Catz Wireless-N Gaming Adapter
"I've tried it all. All instructions to the "T." Used Firefox and IE.Still, when it's connected to laptop, it can see the wireless network and connect to it. When connected to Xbox, nothing. Does not get to network. I'm in IT and I've configured routers that were easier than this." --sparkymoffett

D-Link DIR-632 802.11n 8-Port Router
"Absolutely - I can't believe we existed in a time of puny 4 port routers. I'm beginning to think we need expandable 8 port hubs that can be plugged into this. Every house I've been to has a tangle of wires with multiple routers and wireless modem and cable modems and more!" --Jeff

Home Automation Starter Kits
If you're unsure whether home automation is going to work for you, trying a starter kit is an inexpensive way to find out. Starter kits for home automation come in numerous configurations for lighting, security, surveillance, and home theater. These kits come with everything you need including detailed instructions on how to get your system up and running in under an hour.
