The Kensington Wi-Fi Finder: Now You Find It, Now You Don't!
Any attorney or legal assistant who in the past few months has purchased a Wi-Fi ready laptop or similar device is in for some exciting news! Simply put, more establishments than ever before, including your favorite coffee stop or fast-food hang out, are setting up Wi-Fi wireless Internet connections ' commonly referred to as “Hot Spots.”
These hot spot areas can be accessed by merely walking into your favorite establishment and connecting, for a fee or even free in some locations. But the problem seems to be how to locate these spots. The hot spots are not well advertised and have no identifying symbols so that we can scout them out, albeit, McDonalds seems to use a sign with a large “M” to tell its consumers “Come on in here for Wi-Fi” or a T-Mobile sign in a small corner of a Starbuck's window. For the most part you just have to play search and seek to find the locations.
Well, to try and take some of the guess work out of this search mission, Kensington has come up with a device they call the Kensington Wi-Fi Finder, which runs about $29.95. This little device would seem to come in handy in finding the hot spot zones without the necessity of taking out our laptops and powering up to see if we can connect. But when put to the test, it seems that Kensington has a few more hours of development in its schedule to make this thing give us a proper result!

The Stranger to the Deed Rule
In 1987, a unanimous Court of Appeals reaffirmed the vitality of the "stranger to the deed" rule, which holds that if a grantor executes a deed to a grantee purporting to create an easement in a third party, the easement is invalid. Daniello v. Wagner, decided by the Second Department on November 29th, makes it clear that not all grantors (or their lawyers) have received the Court of Appeals' message, suggesting that the rule needs re-examination.
