Certainly in my
apartment block
block of flats there's no open ones. That's probably because there's no really long-term tenants so when they move in and join an ISP they get a WPA/WPA2 secure router.
Even WEP is thin on the ground these days. Which is unfortunate because it's relatively easy to crack.
Whereas if you were to go up and down my parents road there's plenty of Open and WEP routers.

Mostly their after your usernames and passwords, apps can be remarkably lax when talking back to their respective severs.

Yes it is isn't it, I saw it first three years ago at a security con, the presenter had a room full of people diving for their phones
:-)
Mostly the tech has been available to do that on a laptop easily, but that was the first time I'd seen it in a pocketable package.

Yeah, I've seen that Linux thingy that sounded very similar to my layman's eye.

I've got some tags and thought I'd use them more than I do too.
One is on the back of the ipad, and switches on tethering for it. Another is in the car, switches on Bluetooth, and messages my wife to saying on the way home.

What if you're not going home? Do you have a seperate one for the way to work?

I reckon wifi drains ~30-50% on my nexus 7. When I keep it turned off (except when I actually want to use it), it doesn't kill the battery in < a day.

My new (first ever) wifi router was secure* (albeit with stock pw, which I immediately changed) outta da box.
*does not apply to NSA spookdom

They used to ship them wide open, I'm glad they changed that. Although a local ISP still ships some with WEP. I can crack wep is about 10 seconds!
