Wireless networking meets social networking in WeFi (free). This useful software does double-duty: It helps you find reliable hot spots and then connect to them, and also helps you connect with your friends, and find new ones. Run the program and it shows nearby hot spots, with details about each such as signal strength and whether the network is encrypted. You can also have the program send you to a Web page where you can see all the hot spots mapped out. New to this version of WeFi is its ability to show information about each hot spot such as whether it is a school, coffee shop, restaurant, home, and so on. And a new feature allows you to find hot spots not just in your immediate WiFi range, but beyond it as well, by consulting the WeFit database.

Modular, stackable fridge concept
Sunday, June 6th, 2010Modular, stackable fridge concept
The Flatshare Fridge is a concept design by Stefan Buchberger and is a modular refrigerator system. If you are living with roommates, this will give each member a separate space and can possibly reduce conflict from grocery disputes. Each section can be customized with different skins and addons, so you can personalize your own chilled cabinet. There’s no mention on the site, but we think it’ll be great if the modules came with locks, too, so you never have to worry about roomies pinching your food.
