Two interesting articles
I finally managed to read all the news I had in my newsgator ( two weeks with only a 10â?¬/hour Swisscom connection forced me into a nice break … hate to pay for WiFi). Hopefully, Christmas time was not very intense. I spotted two articles though that are really worth reading.
The first one from Jem Matzan is an in-depth study about the WiFi chipset manufacturers policies regarding their support to the Opensource community. It’s quite appalling to see that most of them just don’t care and are really reluctant to opening their APIs and letting developers use the hardware they paid… just like any Windows users ! At WaveStorm this is sometimes a key issue we are facing when working on demo prototypes partly made with retail hardware pieces stuck into embedded systems.
The second article worth reading is from Jürgen Schmidt and explains how Skype manages to connect two clients hidden between firewalls.
