The wireless surfboard, what you've been wating for

Tech World reports on the wireless surfboard, finally an answer to the Internet toilet.

OK, for anyone curious, I'll let you in on a secret: there is no way you could keep a WiFi connection on a surfboard in the surf. Unlike the gidget movies, and the more familiar mall walkways, the ocean's surf zone is not nearly flat, except on those days when surfers would not bother. The signals could simply not penetrate walls of saltwater.

Unless of course, one hangs the WiFi antennas (access points) from a helicopter overhead.

It's OK: no one wants for not being able to do two kinds of surfing at one time. But all the folks headed to the kitchen table to brew WiFi Buoy start-ups might want to sleep on it.
