Emachines Goes Wireless - Does Anyone Care?
Emachines, the cheap PC maker announced today that they're adding WiFi (of the 802.11g variety) to their laptops. What struck me about this story is that I was surprised anyone would bother writing an article about it. Haven't we passed the point where it's interesting to hear about yet another laptop provider offering WiFi on their laptops? These days, it's becoming almost impossible to find a new laptop that doesn't include WiFi. In fact, I'm more surprised that it took Emachines this long to figure it out.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
