iTalkNews.com, part of the Oak News Network, Inc., is a breaking news forum and a forerunner in a new kind of news journalism, where everyone can participate in current events.

We’re a start-up based just outside San Francisco. We are young, innovative thinkers who have backgrounds all across the spectrum: journalism, law, engineering and design. We’re very different in our views as well, but what we all felt was the need for an interactive community where people can read breaking news, discuss it, and post their own articles. Our goal is to foster diversity and offer a wide range of opinions on any topic in the news, while creating a nationwide network of writers and thinkers.

This is a section where you can post your own articles. You can write on any topic as long as it relates to current events/news. Posting your article is simple: Just log-in with your username and password, and submit your story. Unlike the forum, articles will be posted on the main page and available to view for a significant period of time so they may be edited for grammar and inappropriate content.

Free wifi. That’s what we all need.

Wireless Internet users may not know that it’s easy for outsiders to read their e-mail or scoop up passwords or other sensitive information.Secretly using a stranger’s WiFi connection is so easy that sniffing out open connections has become a sport among computer hackers.

At a recent conference in Las Vegas, wireless network enthusiasts, known as “wardrivers”, had two hours to find 1 000 wireless networks in one of many contests that test their prowess.
