Keep those pesky neighbors from stealing your WiFi signal

House paint that blocks WiFi!

Wow…I never even thought…

Cnet’s Crave site has a nice little piece on this. There is a new house paint that will block your wireless signal from leaving the house so your neighbors can’t steal it anymore. Hmmm…

Of course, you could always put in some security, maybe MAC address filtering, something so the neighbors can’t leach off your signal. But with this paint, no worries! Just re-paint your house!

My goodness, what will they think of…oh, never mind.

And as the Crave story says,

Of course, it’s only bound to attract the attention of every hacker out there who can’t resist a challenge.

See the Crave story here.

Also, see this note…found on an apartment by a concerned neighbor. Isn’t that nice?
