A Little Housekeeping

There really wasn’t enough content in each to warrant separate sections. So I have eliminated the Tutorial category in each section and moved the articles under Features.

I also took the opportunity to close all the Blog sections except for mine, since there haven’t been any new posts in quite some time. IThe articles have been moved into relevant sections depending on their subject matter.

Finally, taking a suggestion from the Forums, I have added Basics links to the LAN & WAN, NAS, Wireless and Multimedia & VoIP sections. These new links are merely for convenience and will take you to the same places that the links under the main Basics menu do.

If you can’t find something, please first try the Search. If you still can’t find something or see a problem, please just let me know. Thanks!

Going back to our roots

When Tim Higgins first started Tom's Networking Guide for TG Publishing (TGP) I was not sure what would happen. But I did know that Tim was a unique voice on the Web, and we would not fail by being associated with him. Today, he launches SmallNetBuilder, and TGP is forunate to be a part of his vision. Tom's Networking always implied that it was a networking mirror of Tom's Hardware; Small Net Builder is a more accurate reflection of what the site is truly all about.

Update:Has Airgo no shame?

Just before Monday broke here on the East coast, Qualcomm (which minutes later announced that it was acquiring Airgo) "announced the availability of the world's first chipset offering full support for Draft 2.0 of the IEEE 802.11n standard". As Glenn Fleishman points out in his post, since Draft 2.0 won't be voted on until March of next year, this announcement is pitching a chipset that is based upon a "draft of a draft".

We all knew that at some point Airgo would come off its mountain and wallow in the pre-standard mud along with Broadcom, Atheros and Marvell. So I guess if you're going to get dirty, you might as well set a new standard. Congratulations to both Airgo and its proud new owner Qualcomm for establishing a new low in WLAN marketing practices.
