    Free Public WiFi

    marco:

    Have you seen this wireless network? […] Turns out it’s not a virus (at least not in the usual sense) but rather an interesting fuckup on Microsoft’s part, with viral consequences.

    Thanks, Microsoft! (I also see hpsetup everywhere, which is apparently from the same problem.)

    Yep. hpsetup on the train, at the station, walking through town…

    shakes fist at Microsoft
