Anybody messing with teh new Arduino Yun?

> Imagine that I approached the AMRAD exhibit at Winterfest. Several different projects are shown, newsletters and papers are available. I don't have time to look into everything presented. But content about all of these is easy to broadcast right there in the booth by Wi-Fi. I could take my phone, tablet or laptop, connect directly to the booth's Wi-Fi content server, and immediately download your documents as PDFs or just web pages, and take them home. No use of my phone's data plan, no passwords, no waiting. No cost.

It's just as annoying to see that you have WiFi coverage, but somehow you can't download your email, or bring up your VPN or other stuff because you haven't hit the captive portal and clicked on the button.  Because the only thing people use the Internet for is web browsing..

It's a difficult problem, trying to get the right user experience for everyone all the time.
