There's a bit of a dustup in Denver because the airport is censoring what you can see over its free Wi-Fi system. The Denver Post is reporting that Denver International is blocking "provocative" sites.
Of course, this means Playboy and its sweatier, less artful peers, but it even extends to more PG-type material like the latest from gossip monger perezhilton.com, Vanity Fair, and Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition. Airport officials say they just want to protect Impressionable Minds from inadvertently seeing the stuff - even though some of it is in clear view at nearby magazine stands.
But turning the page, why do those folks in Denver get free airport Wi-Fi when we don't? At Logan, you have to pony up $7.95 for a day's worth. Nearly 130 airports in the country offer it free in at least some public areas, according to travelpost.com. Admittedly, most of those are midsize to smaller facilities - Burlington, Vt., Manchester, N.H., or Hartford. Can I see a show of hands of those who would like to see free access at Logan?

TripAdvisor also provides a list of the 10 dirtiest hotels in the United Kingdom. If you're planning on hopping the pond this year, take note.
