...useless miscellany

A kind, anonymous person pointed me towards fyuze, another RSS news aggregator. [via The Shifted Librarian]
Definitely worth a second look. Very much like NiF, but with a few distiguishing features of it's own. Post to any BloggerAPI compliant CMS. Rating of individual postings. Scanner search boxes which 'listen' for keywords. RSS boxes completely definable.

Report says WLANs may eat 3G's lunch: My prediction continues to come true. Another reporter, unfortunately, trots out the 2 Mbps figure for 3G, which is a) a myth or vaporware (it doesn't exist yet), and b) only applies to indoors speeds, and c) I'm convinced by the overwhelming silence that it will require the lease of equipment from cell telephone companies to corporations. 2 Mbps won't be universal, nor will it be freely capitalized by the cell telcos. [via 80211b News]
Understood about 2Mbps service being theoretical, I just want to add that believe it or not, there exists pockets even in the US where even a 1/4 of that is better than what the POTS has to offer.
If Verizon could offer their infantile Express service (2.5G) here in OH, my wife and I would gladly drop the local teleco service and buy base units and cells to replace them in our home. I'm sure others would also follow suit as well.
