Fujitsu car network
p2p news / p2pnet: This new Fujitsu "in-vehicle information system network" is nicely locked-down, so you won’t be able to upload The Dukes of Hazard when doing 100 miles per hour through a Wi-Fi-infected dessert:
This product, for the first time in the industry, carries the physical and link layers conforming to the IEEE1394b-2002 (*3) standard and the copyright protection function conforming to the DTCP (*4) standard.

Use a laptop computer to handle the transfer of information between networks. I wouldn’t have this so-called “in-vehicle information system network” if it did not do what I WANT IT TO DO out of the box or was hackable to add the features I want. Neither should you put up with this.

is a Wi-Fi-infected dessert something like a treacle with a microchip, or more like a cupcake with a HDD?

It’s more like a donut with a bifurcated soldering iron.

that’s no fun. at 100mph he could zip right through the hole.
it would be more interesting to go 100mph through pudding.

The perfect example of the best way **NOT** to sell a product.
