    It may work under some conditions because the foil could act as a mirror to the radio waves. On the other hand, because the wavelength of 2.4 GHz is about 12.5 cm, if the foil was close to the antenna, the reflections could cancel out direct radiation from the antenna in places. This would lead to hit and miss reception depending on the exact placement of the WiFi device.

    Rabbit Ears would probably work just as well as tin foil, right?

          It would be better to use the tin foil as a hat to keep the space aliens from controlling your mind.

              That's one of the most important reasons I use a VM

              M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                  Ooh, unpleasant. I'd hoped it'd work when using a mouse, since you'd have a cursor. Nope.

                    When you keep pressing a link, a popup will open and you can see where it goes to at the top (at least on Android).

                        Well THANK YOU for that. You win the internetz for today. Which leads me to my next mobile pet-peeve: Discoverability. Press and hold? Top-left corner? Bottom-right? Slide from any of the four directions? Is it a Tuesday? Is the full moon this week? Do I have to stand on one foot? And don't get me started on gestures. The only gesture I feel I should know about is the one involving the middle finger. I like to think I'm no luddite, but I'm still finding unfamiliar things so much easier to figure out on a PC than any phone I've ever used. And then Android keeps moving things from one version to the next...

                          Press and hold link until the context menu comes up, at the top you'll see the link. Works at least in chrome for android.
