Risky Business #222 -- Never pay for roaming data again

Presented by

I thought we'd just have a bit of a fun feature for the last show of the year. It's an interview with Edith Cowan University's Peter Hannay about a presentation he did at Ruxcon back in 2010, all about turning Amazon's Kindle into a completely free internet access device that works all over the world.

That's right, no subscriber fees and 3G access in a zillion countries.

He'll tell you how you can hack your kindle to use it as a completely free USB Internet access device pretty much anywhere in the world. No more data roaming for you! W00t w00t! SSH everywhere!

Astaro's Angelo Comazzetto takes a look back on Sony's 2011 woes in this week's sponsor interview and Adam Boileau joins us, as always, to discuss the week's news.
