FCC To Vote On White Space Broadband - Will vote on rules governing unlicensed wireless devices in vacated TV spectrum
If you remember the hysteria that surrounded war driving (people who drive around looking for unsecured hotspots), surely those terrified by the concept will enjoy this. According to Popular Science, a couple of hackers have modified a US Army gunnery target drone, turning it into a flying Wi-Fi sniffer. The WASP (Wi-Fi Aerial Surveillance Platform) is guided by an open source auto pilot system that uses Google Earth, and is capable of 1,000 square feet of "sniffing" at an altitude of about 400 feet. Once the drone finds the hotspot the pilot's looking for, it can be put into a holding pattern. The WASP's website has only the basic construction details if you're looking for a holiday weekend project.

In 2002, Retro Studios took the classic series into first-person territory, much to the initial dismay of the franchise's loyalists. To this day, Metroid: Prime stands as one of the best titles in the franchise. <p></p>
