Don't add wireless mischief to that Starbucks
Looking forward to strolling into your local Starbucks, popping that new wireless-network card into your laptop and surfing the Web while sipping a walnut Narino Supremo?
Still, don't let your guard down.
Experts warn that you should remain wary when using Wireless Local Area Networks (or WLANs) wherever you are _ at home, in the office, even at those pleasant bistros offering free Internet connections. In fact, last year the lawyers at Starbucks issued a warning to customers when they announced the free Web access.
"These WLANs are not inherently secure," the company said. "We therefore cannot guarantee the privacy of your data and communications while using this service."
Simple cover-their-behind-ism? Not hardly.
