The most recent 3DS system update provides free access to all of Boingo's North American airport Wi-Fi hotspots, which means layovers just got another dimension of fun. Boingo operates the Wi-Fi in 42 airports in North America and suggested that free connection for the 3DS would keep bratty kids quiet while waiting for their flights -- at least, that's what we got out of this quote from Boingo: "With the holiday season approaching, more leisure travelers and families with children will fill our airports and have access to our hotspots."
Read between the lines, kiddos.

Now if only the 3DS' battery could last as long as most airport delays...

Parents see articles in the news and the media hust blows up on how the 3D is dangerous rather than actually informing them of actual information to help. Its a main characteristic of American news, if not news in general.

You guys are just jealous because the kids can probably whoop your asses in 3DS games!
