Choice lost as near-monopolist buys rival

Bad news - just as I start using them, I see that Amazon has bought The Book Depository

ETA: Link now demangled (remind me not to use double quotes in a title attribute)

Short range WiFi

I note that ECMA has published a new spec for a short range wireless link: ECMA-398

It's very fast: 560 Mbps

It's also very short range: a few centimetres

More a contactless docking cradle than a WiFi network replacement, methinks.
