What Were They Thinking: Wi-Fi Hacking Tool
Got US$3600? Silica is a pocket-sized hacking tool that uses hundreds of exploits to crack into wireless networks. It’s supposed to be for security professionals, but well… No wonder drive-by wireless hacking is expected to grow this year. ‘Nuff said.

What Were They Thinking: Mobile Streaming Video
Would you pay $5.99 to have a full-length movie streamed to your mobile handset. You know, the one with the stupidly tiny screen? Someone at Bell Canada (and several other companies) needs their head examined. At least, you’re not getting my money for this.

Find Your Phone With Skype
Lost your cell phone and don’t have another phone in the house to call it with? Use Skype says Technology Evangelist. Makes sense, but keep in mind that you will have to use SkypeOut credits.
