Wi-Fi detector shirt
John Chan | Oct 08, 2007
1337-speak t-shirts are passe--the Wi-Fi detector shirt takes geek wear to a whole new level. The image on the front of this shirt is not static. The glowing bars light up according to how strong an 802.11b/g signal is when detected.
It requires a battery pack to work, and that's sewn inside the shirt. Three AAA batteries are required, so it will add to your weight a little.
So instead of looking really dumb walking around with an open laptop when searching for a hotspot, you can now look dumb by just looking at your own chest. And for those wondering, no, it doesn't tell you whether or not a hotspot is secured--cheapskate wardrivers will still need their notebooks to find their free fix.
