NPR: The Zombie Network: Beware 'Free Public WiFi'
“When a computer running an older version of XP can’t find any of its ‘favorite’ wireless networks, it will automatically create an ad hoc network with the same name as the last one it connected to—in this case, ‘Free Public WiFi.’ Other computers within range of that new ad hoc network can see it, luring other users to connect. And who can resist the word ‘free?’”

Daring Fireball: Ronco Spray-On Usability
On the characteristic lack of usability in open source projects, and why. "The distributed, collaborative nature of open source software works for developer-level software, but works against user-level software.

Editing decisions forged by group consensus on mailing lists. The result would be unfocused, incoherent, and unenjoyable."
