Anti-Wi Fi paint.....say what?
Here's the article: http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/151779
Now I really have seen everything O_o Seriously, paint that stops your wi-fi signal from being used by people you don't want. That's kind of crazy. The pain really scares me though. Your basically putting metal all over your walls. I can't seem to think that is healthy for people or the environment :/ Wi-fi distributes need to just come up with a way to lock other people out of using internet that isn't theirs or be able to keep the signal within a certain radius (like just your house). And I can see this paint getting used for some really down right bad things too :/ What are your thoughts and views on this new paint? |
That can actually be very handy, though! I wouldn't want to use it myself, of course, but I like the point that they brought up about movie theaters being able to use this paint legally to stop incoming calls. This thing will come in handy!

I like that idea. xD No more annoying people who leave their phones on during movies. Ah Technology. It makes the world a more peaceful place. At least, this kind of technology does. =3
|
seems like a good idea to me
|
it seems like a good idea for businesses but for home.

Paint.
I saw that last night. I wouldn't bother with something like that. Because while you're keeping other people from stealing your internet, you're also keeping yourself from stealing other people's internet. XD Yes, I admit it, I have stolen wifi. I have my own and that is what I use but there are times when the internet goes down for whatever reason and then I go and use someone else's for a bit. Also if I go away from home and need internet and there is some there I will use that too. I also let my neighbor use my internet when she needs to. And while I don't do this often, sometimes it is nice to be able to sit outside and use the internet. So I don't think I'd ever want to use that paint, I'll just stick with passwords.

Wouldn't it just be cheaper and easier to just make your network secure.
|
Seems like an idea for a slow mass murder.
|
two biggest problems i see, first the most important, the environment and peoples health. and secondly what if i go into someones home and i cant get cell signal and there is an emergency? No one would be able to contact me.
|
Why not just put a password on your wireless network...?
Thats what we've done. |

The same effect can be done cheaper by just making the wi-fi secure. Seriously people, no need to go and slowly poison yourself!

I think it's dumb since you can put a password on networks. Plus as some one mentioned, if you need to make an emergency call and your only phone is a cell phone then you're screwed. I mean some people, like me, don't have a land line.
