But why is it specifically wifi, and not cordless phones (that use the same frequency), cell phones, radio/tv stations, baby monitors. The radios used for taxis and emergency services. CB radios in transport trucks.

That's the part I don't understand. Why is wifi a problem for people when none of these other things are?

Wayland, a New X Server For Linux 487

An anonymous reader writes "Phoronix has a new article out on Wayland: A New X Server For Linux. One of Red Hat's engineers has started writing a new X11 server around today's needs and to eliminate the cruft that has been in this critical piece of free software for more than a decade. This new server is called Wayland and it is designed with newer hardware features like kernel mode-setting and a kernel memory manager for graphics. Wayland is also dramatically simpler to target for in development. A compositing manager is embedded into the Wayland server and ensures 'every frame is perfect' according to the project's leader."
