The most important discovery of modern medicine is not vaccines or antibiotics, it is the randomized double-blind test, by means of which we know what works and what doesn’t. Contrary to the saying, “data” is not the plural of “anecdote.”

Apply this skill to sensationalist stories about MacBook’s wireless security.

Sadly, the speakers in this house are not near an ethernet port. I have to choose between wireless internet and wireless music. Whatever shall I do?! Woe is me! But wait! Airport Express to the rescue again! I can set up two Airport Expresses to talk to each other with something called WDS. So now not only am I able to have both wireless internet and wireless music, I seamlessly extend the range of my wireless network in the process. The Airport setup utilities will even configure your remote base stations for you. You just have to connect and set up the main base station and choose the remote stations you want to add. Enter a couple passwords and you’re done!

Read Apple’s WDS setup guide for more information.

Still, as half the Mac development community (including Apple co-founder Wozniak) has testified, Apple is doing more harm than is deserved to this student–and their reputation. A good company would realize the honest confession of his actions as well as the stress he has endured is more than enough for putting a file up for distribution for an hour. Especially given the fact that Apple’s recent stock gains are entirely contributed to illegal downloads of music files. How many 40GB iPods has Apple sold? Far more than the number of people who have purchased 500 albums on CD and MP3. Can Apple honestly say that 8.2 million people own the rights to 60, 120, 250 or 500 albums? They need to be more considerate towards pirates given that they make up the majority of the iPod user (and therefore the Apple financial) base.
