Starting, in effect, as of tomorrow, we’ll be adding a new column we hope you’ll like: Wifi Around China.

Coming in the form of individual posts, this is one of our “live columns” — as in we’ll basically blog live from anywhere that has wifi available.

Wifi is no longer that rarity that was back in 2002, when you were considered a super-trendy nerd to walk in with a laptop that supported what was then called, especially on a Mac, an “AirPort wireless network”. The Chinese authorities tried to stop wifi in its tracks around 2004, but like many of its short-sighted plans (including forcing users in summer 2009 to install censorship software), it failed.

Thankfully, despite the Great Firewall, there is still that connectivity freedom up in the air — something we call wifi. We’ll tell you how wifi works from a specific place by test driving it on a 15-inch MacBook Pro and a second-generation iPod touch. We’ll probably save the place from being robbed of wifi by not disclosing any wifi passwords, but you’ll be guided as to if you need a password to log in.

We hope you’ll like it!

PS: We will also restart weekday updates for the Mac blog on the new beimac Apple User Community — tomorrow at the earliest, next Monday at the latest.

從明天起，本博客將在中國大陸各地搜出無線上網地方，並且仔細闡述各個無線上網場所。本博客將使用一台 15 吋 MacBook Pro 及 iPod touch (第二代) 來進行測試。希望大家會喜歡這些新的內容!
