Actually the purveyors of this “magic box” never use the word stealing. Instead, choice words like open, freeloading and my personal favorite, canalized are used. Hey, whatever keeps the po-po’s away right? The Slurpr is a home made concoction by two friends who noticed tons of unprotected WiFi signals floating around Amsterdam. Individually, they offer meager connection speeds but the Slurpr unscrupulously finds them all and combines them to make one ultra-mega connection.

Now the duo are totally aware of the legal consequences but since they live in the EU, who cares! They plan on selling the box for 999 EURO which is a little over 1,000 US. They’re taking pre-orders now.

It seems they are willing to ship to the US so is this something you’d be interested in?

   i love that it’s homemade. I bet they sell a ton and then get sued.

   So… its a bridge not a repeater… it’s still neat! Now… if they made something like this but it sucked up all the signals and rebroadcasted it as one huge wifi signal. THAT would be cool!!!
