Find free Wireless Internet

With over 600 free wireless hotspots Australia wide, chances are there is one near you!

The growth of the wireless hotspots over the last two years has been extremely evident in Australia, with many companies putting in their own free hotspots to attract customers to buy their products. The main player worldwide in pushing free wireless internet has been McDonalds, whom I have used in countries such as America, Canada, Germany and Russia, to name a few, for free wireless internet. Almost every McDonald’s restaurant in Australia is equiped with free wireless internet, great for those grey nomads wanting to keep in touch with friends and family on the road!

Sydney – 190 free hotspots
Melbourne – 185 free hotspots
Brisbane – 80 free hotspots
Perth – 58 free hotspots
Gold Coast – 32 free hotspots
Adelaide – 31 free hotspots
Canberra – 15 free hotspots

Free Google operating system

Google has announced it will launch Chrome OS, an operating system set to rival Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS, by the middle of next year, which is going to cost nothing!

The Google Chrome OS will come complete with Outlook, Word and other Microsoft software. With the introduction of Chrome OS on the market next year, it is expected that Microsoft products will need to be lowered in price if they want to maintain their 90% worldwide market share for the operating systems market.

This announcement is extremely beneficial for consumers with Windows 7 operating system being released October 22nd 2009, the sales price is tipped to be “affordable”.

Ultimately, the Google Chrome OS system is expected to be targeting laptops and other netbooks that currently run extremely slow on Windows Vista and are mainly used for work, email, internet surfing, word processing and photography.
