Want free WiFi? Head to the G.Y.M.
Apologies for the corny headline. This has nothing to do with working out.
But it is good news for all those laptops that are backing up online…
G.Y.M. is short for Google, Yahoo & Microsoft. The three companies seem to be in the midst of a flurry of FREE WiFi announcements. Here’s stuff that came through from G.Y.M. in the last 48 hours:

Wave to me
Today I felt like a kid with a new toy – a new toy that was temporarily out of stock (and so my friends couldn’t get at it…yet).
I got a Google Wave invite!
What’s Google Wave? You’ve either been living under a rock or even worse…you have a life!
Anyway, Google Wave is a new product/service form Google that is currently in “Preview Mode”. Preview mode seems to be the mode before Google goes into a never ending Beta. Google Wave aims/claims/hopes to usher in a new way (wave?) of communicating.
The rationale is simple – if email were … Read the rest
