I'm at PDX waiting for my flight from Portland to Anchorage. I keep posting about airports with free wifi (Anchorage, Reno, Portland,
My Portland weekend is over. I had good times with friends, but also want to respect their privacy so haven't blogged about them. Also, kept busy and not blogging for 24 hours or more is a luxury. It was hard to get a good picture from the car, but there was a lot of yellow and orange and red outside of Portland.
There are a lot of pumpkin stands around outside of Portland. And in Portland tonight I saw a lot of people in costume. I'm still opposed to moving holidays to the closest convenient day. Doing that means that the god of efficiency is overtaking the god of tradition. Washington and Lincoln's birthdays - once separate holidays - have been lumped into President's day and put on a Monday so people of have three day weekends. Memorial Day used to be May 31, but it too got moved to a Monday. Fourth of July on the second of July would be weird, but if we just call it Independence Day, they might be able to get away with that sacrilege.
I didn't know that 'free cracking' existed, but today I got it.
Is Wifi the same as iPhone? I guess no. It would be too simple. I don't really follow the improvements of technical devices.
ReplyDeleteI thought the term was universal. I guess not. The formal definition from webopedia:
ReplyDeleteThe name of a popular wireless networking technology
that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections. The Wi-Fi Alliance, the organization that owns the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) term specifically defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network
(WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards."
The simple explanation as it applies to me: Wifi is wireless internet connection. So with my laptop at the Portland Airport I can check my email and post on my blog.
well no wifi is different from iphone.
