« T-Mobile Sues Starbucks over Premature Free Wi-Fi | Main | JetBlue Buys Airfone's Network »
Insanity in an insole: For some reason, the folks mstrpln (wasn’t that one of Superman’s pests?) along with Ubiq (a homophone for a Philip K. Dick novel) have released a Nike Dunk add-on that shows you whether a Wi-Fi network is in the vicinity of…your shoes.
They write: “The idea of footwear was pushed further by converging elements of digital culture with fashion and design into a wearble technology. The end product is a sneaker designed to detect Wi-Fi wireless internet hot-spots wherever the user may roam, with every step.”
Uh, yeah, because, a shoelace cover that lights up whenever there’s Wi-Fi around is some kind of cool. If it were 2003. And a handbag.
