The Wi-Fi Detector T-shirt that was on digg a week ago is finally up for sale.This t-shirt is actually no normal tshirt. Its a “Wi-Fi Detector Shirt” which actually displays the signal from 802.11b/g with glowing bars on the front.
(PopWireless: We are hopeless wireless geeks here at PopularWireless. I’m ordering mine how about you ;) Just in case you missed it we suggested this shirt to readers in a previous article. Apparently these are ready for sale! Be the first on your block!)
Great little article which exposes the flaws on wireless security alarm systems. (PopularWireless comments: The issue boils down to what support will you get after the sale. After I paid a LARGE chunk of change for my wireless system the company was acquired by another company. The new company will not return a telephone call/voice mail on a simple question- like how to change a battery in a wireless device. Batteries in wireless devices appear to be welded to the connectors! Surprise the new company also monitors the business I manage. The business is a wired system. They are about to lose a monitored wired account. Ultimately it all boils down to whether or not your alarm company really cares about you and your on-going support. I know one big provider in Calvert County, Maryland could care less. Farewell Rampart Alarm or whatever you call yourself now. The sad thing is I KNOW the previous owner and his staff would have never treated his customers this way. Customer service makes all the difference no matter what the marketing and sales department says.)
