We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Still haven't talked to customer service, but I think I'm going to go ahead and get a new router. My dad is a contractor for Cisco, so he gets a discount.

If any newer Mac OSX users (Leopard/10.5 and newer PPC and Intel) are curious if they may have the "flashback" malware that's claimed to be on 1% of Macs out there, they can download this checker:
Update your OSX to the latest patches for Java for your version (or use OSX update) to prevent this Java malware.
It mines CC info and passwords, so it's always a good idea to keep your patches up to date, whatever your OS.

Isn't that the android app ita ! Uses to have her phone take on certain settings based on location?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yup. It lets you switch settings and trigger certain actions based on GPS and network IDs and phone physical position (like face up or down), for instance, or calendar setting (in a meeting, etc).
No, I have no idea.

I haven't used it, but from the advertising it seems like Siri can do some of what Locale does.
