Cheat sheet: Mobile and wireless security
Cheat Sheet It basically means a bunch of hackers are driving around in densely WLANed areas with home made hacking kits looking for vulnerable wireless networks. How do they do it? Is it something to do with terrorism? [14 Feb 2002]
Cheat Sheet: Web services
Cheat Sheet It's about protocols that allow different websites to link together in a whole range of intelligent ways. It is the basis of all of the other protocols. XML is a way of describing content on the internet - not just where it should be on a page or... [31 Jan 2002]
Cheat Sheet: The Microsoft antitrust case
Cheat Sheet Allegations were made by Microsoft that the presiding judge, a chap called Penfield Jackson, was biased, that a special master appointed to teach the jury the technical ins and outs of the case was also biased and, finally, that the DoJ was just... [24 Jan 2002]
Cheat Sheet: Spam
Cheat Sheet What is it? It's unwanted email. It's a problem because it clogs up mail servers and ISPs and gets in the way of genuine internet traffic. Also companies have started to realise it is costing them money in lost man hours - some estimate as much as... [03 Jan 2002]
Cheat Sheet: Location-based services
Cheat Sheet Without being GPS, it's the most accurate location tech but operators need to spend a packet on buying new networks and handing out new phones, so it's a bit of a no-go when all the money is being pumped into 3G licences, networks and handsets. [02 Jan 2002]

Cheat Sheet: i-mode
Cheat Sheet It's successful. Importantly, it is an always-on service, albeit a slow one, whereas WAP relies on users dialling up pages, which can be tediously slow. So it's like WAP? But once there, the rewards seem to be worth it. [08 Nov 2001]
Cheat Sheet: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Cheat Sheet By the mid-90s - having beaten off Token Ring as the protocol of choice - it won out against HP-backed VG AnyLan to become the de facto 100Mbps technology. It was, and still is. What long-distance application demands is it meeting? [31 Oct 2001]
Cheat Sheet: Windows XP
Cheat Sheet Oh no, far from it. Instead it will have to be rented. As part of Microsoft's fight against piracy it has introduced a product activation button which checks the ID of 10 hardware components of a PC and sends the spec straight to Microsoft. [22 Oct 2001]
Cheat Sheet: GPRS
Cheat Sheet So while it's slightly faster and cheaper, you're still stuck with a black and white screen the size of a postage stamp. It's not the most inspiring moniker on earth, but GPRS ought to enable some groovy services eventually. [25 Apr 2001]
