Don't point that cantenna at IT Blogwatch, in which the Month of Kernel Bugs project (MoKB) finds a doozy of an exploit for many Wi-Fi drivers . Not to mention a golf swing training aid using persistence of vision...

An attacker could use the flaw to take complete control over any vulnerable machine located within a few hundred feet, so be forewarned that reading the rest of this post could make you awfully leery of that guy sitting in the corner booth at Starbucks gleefully clacking away on his laptop.
