A Hacker Games the Hotel | Wired News
"A vulnerability in many hotel television infrared systems can allow a hacker to obtain guests' names and their room numbers from the billing system.
It can also let someone read the e-mail of guests who use web mail through the TV, putting business travelers at risk of corporate espionage. And it can allow an intruder to add or delete charges on a hotel guest's bill or watch pornographic films and other premium content on their hotel TV without paying for it."

Osprey Packs, Inc. These packs rock and their customer service is top notch. I have their Aether 75 from a few years ago and I can't say enough about how well it fits me and how much it doesn't weigh. Of course, the folks at Feathered Friends in Seattle sold me on it and fitted it perfectly (unlike those jokers at REI who wasted my time trying sell me a huge pack and couldn't fit it correctly at all). Bottom line - it's hard to go wrong with Osprey, but the folks at Feathered Friends will get you the right gear.
