"   Everyone loves free internet service and using local wi-fi hotspots like the ones at the coffee shop but you should realize that these connections are not secure and put your personal information at risk of being stolen. It&amp;#039;s imperative to be careful what you do while connected to them. While some wi-fi servers will require you to log in with a username and password, this is no guarantee that the site is secure. Once you join a public hotspot you&amp;#039;ve joined a network with other unknown computers that can access data from your laptop.

I like to think of it as &amp;#039;Don&amp;#039;t do anything that you wouldn&amp;#039;t post on a blog.&amp;#039; The wi-fi alliance has some great tips on being safe, both at home and at public places, while using wi-fi.  And check out Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s stories on Top 5 Ways Wi-Fi Can Simplify Your Life, Best Internet Radios (that run off wi-fi), 5 Ways to Cut Clutter in Your Computer Room and Internet Safety for Kids "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
