Just when you thought you were doing your buddy next door a favor, turns out leaving your WiFi router open to the public is the first step in staging a terrorist bombing — who knew? The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) reckons the country just isn’t ready for that kind of responsibility, seeing as how mail by WiFi is all the rage for transmitting directions to fellow terror-ees these days. The aim

is now to limit WiFi net access to authorized persons only. Man, just imagine what they’ll do with WiMAX. In other news, the pencil sitting next to you could be used to poke your eye out whether you’re not careful.
