Google offers Free WiFi and matches donations

Give Back and Have Your Donation Matched by Google

The holidays are about giving and we hope that you can continue to spread holiday cheer by making a donation via Google Checkout to any of the participating non-profits listed below. At the end of the program, Google will match donations made via the WiFi network, up to a maximum of $250,000 across the three non-profits. Just look for the link to donate once you connect.

The airport that gets the highest dollar amount contributed per passenger (based on 2008 FAA data) by January 1, 2010 will also receive $15,000 to donate to the local charity of their choice. If you'd like to make a donation but aren't traveling this holiday season, we encourage you to make a direct contribution to these organizations by visiting the websites below.

This rocks. Google is sponsoring free WiFi at selected airports this holiday season. While the WiFi is free, they will accept donations. Google will match those donations, up to $250,000.

So, that $9.95 airport WiFi you were thinking about buying because your flight is now delayed 2 hours is free. Or, you could donate, say, $5.00 which would end up being $10.00 to charity.

How cool is that!

WiFi Hot Spot Finder / USB Adapter

ZyXEL’s announced the AG-225H, and boy is it cool! It’s a hotspot detector for 802.11 a/b/g, displays the SSID, signal strength, security and encryption information on its LCD display. As if that weren’t enough, it also doubles as a 802.11 a/b/g USB WiFi adapter with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption. It’ll also turn your laptop into a wireless access point. It should be available in September.
