Starbucks Brings Free WiFi To All Locations

Starbucks Brings Free WiFi To All Locations

Well, it’s about time: yesterday, Starbucks announced that they would be activating free, one-click WiFi access across all of their United States locations, starting on July 1st.

For iPhone owners, this isn’t a big deal: they’ve long enjoyed free AT&T WiFi at Starbucks with their Frappucinos.

By opening up WiFi to everyone, though, Starbucks has finally allowed iPod Touch and iPad owners free access to the Internet… not to mention MacBook owners and the rest of those Android and PC toting plebes.

iOS 4 Available June 21st, Free To All 3G, 3Gs and iPod Touch Users

    GOOD ….
    Because it’s a fucking ripoff to begin with ….

    1] Enter StarBucks
    2] Go to the counter & buy an “InterNet Access Card” [IAC] for a few bucks.
    3] Go to a website & register.
    4] Put the number on the IAC onto the website.
    5] Jump through a few more flaming hoops.
    6] Get TWO HOURS of access for that day.

    YECCCCCCHHHHH ….

    Sweet! Tonight I’m going to party like it’s 1999!

    People of the world: don’t go to Starbucks if you can avoid it. Patronize your locally owned coffee shop instead. Starbucks is the Walmart of coffee.
