Also gives a better experience because a lost user password can be remotely reset/recovered when you have an MS account.

So long as the phone number and/or recovery email address you used when you signed up for it are still active. My uncle was unable to remember his password after he had moved. He cancelled his phone and internet services, and was unable to get his password reset when he finally got hooked back up to the internet. In theory, it works great. In practice...maybe, maybe not.

A local admin password lost is a harder fix for a home user.

For the average home user, I agree. For a techie with the right tools, it's like a walk in the park.

If the access point is only meant to be used by the Sunday school, and they only meet at certain times. why not just switch the AP off when the Sunday School meeting isn't running?

If the software allows it, would it make it easier to simply set up a schedule that allows for connectivity between 9:00am and 11:00am on Sundays?

This may be an excellent option, provided they can either learn to modify the schedule on their own, or count on a techie type to be there for them when they're needed...

It's been awhile since I've looked at flashing a Linksys router, but should anyone decide to go this route they will need to do their research and ensure they are able to find a router that can be flashed. Nothing more frustrating than buying something you think will do the job, only to find out that it won't work as intended.

No More GameCube, Wii 2.0 On the Far Horizon 153

The little purple machine that could is no longer being manufactured. Hardware revisions are in store for the Nintendo Wii eventually. These announcements aren't terribly shocking, but they're still interesting admissions from Perin Kaplan, Vice President of Marketing & Corporate Affairs for Nintendo of America. GameDaily has the interview, which also discusses Wii sales, the lull in games, new IPs, and some details on plans online. Don't worry, you won't have to buy a new Wii anytime soon. Kaplan is immediately talking about the planned Japanese version with DVD Playback capability, but does say 'Sure, absolutely' to the question of whether we'll eventually see hardware changes on the order of the DS/DS Lite.

Submission + - CEO resigns over 'Lite Brite'

DesertBlade writes: The CEO of Cartoon Network has resigned over the bomb scare. Turner ended up paying over 2 million in restitution and the city of Boston coming to a stand still over some lite brites. I for one do not want to live in a glass box being scared of everything, and with governments over reacting just fuels the fear. Are we becoming scared of our own shadow?
