WiFi Vs. WiMax

Wireless Compared

	WiFi	WiMax
Recommended Uses	Short-range, LAN-centric	Long-range, MAN-centric
Spectrum	Unlicensed spectrum 802.11b/g – 2.4 GHz 802.11n – 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz	Unlicensed or licensed spectrum between 2-66 GHz US: 2.4 GHz International: 2.3 GHz, 3.5 GHz
Quality of Service	Minimal - QoS is relative only between packets/flows	Guaranteed - QoS is assured using scheduling algorithms at MAC layer
Cell Footprint	< 300 meters maximum Most implementations about 30 meters	Up to 10 kilometers Most implementations about 3 km
Bandwidth	802.11b: 11 Mbps max 802.11g: 54 Mbps max 802.11n: at least 100 MbpsAll bandwidth is at short range	Up to 70 Mbps theoretical max Up to 40 dedicated subscriber channels Expect 15 Mbps at 3 km range

A comparison of typical WiFi and WiMax performance characteristics

Google Chrome Second 0-Day

It seems like thing never like to happen alone: another 0day is found, within 24 hours after it launches. Google's new Web browser (Chrome) allows files (e.g., executables) to be automatically downloaded to the user's computer without any user prompt.

Google Chrome First 0-Day (in First Day)

Apprently the first 0day exploit for Google newly launched browser is out. It is a denial of service attack to crash the entire browser, even Google Chrome claims to have individual sandbox protection.

The POC is simple, just key in "evil:%" (without the quote) on the address bar.

Google Browser

New beta web browser Google Chrome officially hit the streets. It is a browser that combines a minimal design  (as usual) with sophisticated technology. It is powered by webkit (browser engine) and V8 (javascript engine). The entire project is called Chromium and hosted at Google Code. You can also click here to learn more about Google Chrome.

Here's a list of highlight that I like about it.

• Simplified design with unifying web search, address bar, and history to one box.
  
• Show a visual sampling of your most visited sites every time you click on new tab.
  
• Use web applications without opening your browser.
  
• New incognito mode for private browsing.
  
• Individual sandbox design for every tab.
  
• Built-in task manager (Shift-Esc).
  

If you are impatient, try Google Chrome First Look . And there is a Google Chrome comic available online . Have fun!
