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!

When you reckon that are you checking the battery stats? It'll tell you with some precision. Bit odd for wifi to kill a tablet battery in one day though, it's never occurred to me to turn my iPad wifi off.

Definitely sommat weird happening there, I leave wifi permanently on on my n7 and it'll go for ... well, I don't know cos I use it a fair bit, but leaving it on (it'll go to sleep of course) for a day doing nothing doesn't even drain 1% of the battery.
