text: apple laptops? my cousin came over the other day and used her apple laptop. what i couldnt understand is she got on the internet and she doesnt have internet on her laptop. apperantly she said that she was able to get on the net because someone in our apartment must of had internet? what i want to know is how do i get my laptop todo this? and do i have to pay? your cousin's laptop has a wireless internet adapter. she was simply leaching off someone's unsecured wireless internet signal in or near your apartment.
