From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
Earlier this month, a French company called Applidium announced technical details of a proprietary network protocol utilized by the Siri speech recognition system of Apple iPhone 4S. With a bit of technical know-how and some freely downloadable software, you too could make your own cool speech recognition applications. But Is hacking Siri really a good idea?

HTTP Error and Status Codes Explained
When visiting Web sites, the client application makes connections to Web servers via a network protocol called HTTP. Included in the HTTP server response data for each request is a code number indicating the result of the request. These three-digit numbers can provide helpful troubleshooting information to Internet site admins and users.

What Is an Uplink Port?

READERS RESPOND: Do You Need 802.11n On Your Home Network?
"Really depends on what you want... . Because of the difference in latency, or ping, your half hour download on G might take 29.5 minutes on N. So if you need that extra 0.1 second to make a headshot on an Internet game, absolutely hate waiting 0.1 extra second for a page to load, you want N. If you stream high quality videos and hate the very occasional hiccup you want N. Personally I only upgraded because my old router died. Was it worth the extra bucks? Maybe, and its ready for future." -Magneto
