Cool, of course a lot of what the article is talking about is still theoretical st this point.

Well, you cannot have secure networks, you know...

Yeah I don't see what the big deal is, that skin obviously doesn't have wireless yet.

How can it do its job properly or interact with other things it's connected to if it doesn't have wireless? Doesn't everything (even melee weapons) magically benefit from wireless, even when it doesn't make sense?

No, no ... everything electronically benefits from wireless.

If you want magical benefits you have to use WizFi.
