    Has anyone seen this or heard of it before, its the first time i have, its rather intrigueing had a quick read through it and was wondering :confused , is it something that will catch on and does anyone think it would really work ?
    I suppose it must have been tested for the cinema's to be saying they are looking into it, don't think the neighbours would be to impressed if you just paint the house a strange colour :eek !
    Maybe i should of polled this one !

    i just don't get it.LOL although, it's possible it may catch on with all the conspiracy theorists who can't have enough protection and may just not believe their wireless routers do exactly what they actually do.

    probably need some anti-directional microphone, anti-wiretapping, and anti-patriot act paint, too. i wonder if there are any anti-wifi decorators out there that will help you choose exactly the right shade of paint that will just make your rooms "pop?" they could email Genvieve Gorder at HGTV! roflmaoroflmaoroflmaoroflmaoroflmao

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8279549.stm perhaps there are anti-wifi coated windows as well? I had originally thought this was some sort of Faraday cage and that wifi signals would be bouncing around inside micro-waving everything... :p

    I think I'd rather just not use the internet around the house than have to paint it.

    In the words of the chef from the movie Casino when asked to put an equal number of blueberries in each muffin.

    "Do you know how long that's going to take?"

    If you need bandwidth in front of my house, come on over.
    My neighbor has an open router!

    Easier to allocate MAC address filters or passwords than repaint a house with ground up aluminum siding!

    Instead of spending 3 weeks painting the house just paint the aerial on your router...
