The Week in Tech - 07/11/05
--Where did you turn for coverage of the London attacks last week? I found myself clicking between CNN and blogs; guess which delivered more? Citizens around the world quickly covered this story in their own individual ways, from phone cam shots that made it onto the evening news to conspiracy theorists on the Daily Kos. Boing Boing's consistently updated entry beat the heck out of anything the big guys put together.
--Is Apple about to become a phone company? Forbes thinks so.
--PC World reviews Longhorn (the next version of Windows) in its August issue, with a couple of interesting screenshots included. In a nutshell, they deem it long on graphics and search but short on productivity or security breakthroughs.
--Need a hotspot but don't want to go to jail? Build your own! Popular Science has instructions on how to turn your backpack into a portable WiFi hotspot. And it's solar-powered to boot. This is either innovation at its best or geekery run amok. You decide.
