The Light Lane is a cool idea where a laser is used to project a bike lane on to the road around a bike. The idea here is that the bright lit laser created lane will allow drivers to more clearly see the bike rider and hence, lower the risk of the rider being on the road. [click to continue…]

Wireless networks are getting faster. It began with Wireless A which clocked up maximum speeds of about 54Mbps. Following A was B which gave a boost to range from 100 - 150 feet but in doing that the speed dropped to 11Mbps. Wireless G was next which basically mixed the best of A and B together to make a 150 feet range at 54Mbps. The next is Wireless N which boosts the speed by a fair bit up to 150Mbps with a range of 230 feet.
Wireless N routers have been available for a while now. A problem happens though in that most people have older laptops that still use b/g speeds and therefore, you waste a lot of speed. This is where the Mvix wireless N adapter comes in to play. [click to continue…]
