Starbucks Ditches T-Mobile For AT&T
Under the existing plan with T-Mobile, Starbucks customers needed a paid subscription to access the in-store Wi-Fi, and T-Mobile HotSpot subscribers will continue to have access to Starbucks Wi-Fi thanks to an agreement between AT&T and T-Mobile. But the new AT&T plan allows all customers two free hours per day, with a $3.99 fee for additional two-hour chunks of time....
eta: More yay:
In addition, AT&T broadband customers will be able to surf at the more than 7,000 Starbucks locations in the U.S. for free.
so, if you have an iPhone or iTouch and pay for an AT&T data plan, you can surf in Starbucks for free?
"AT&T Broadband" refers to their DSL service.
But by "customers" they mean Starbucks customers, not AT&T customers, if I'm reading it right.
But you can still surf free for two hours? That's super sweet.
I read something that implied you need a Starbucks card to get the free 2 hours.
I have a starbucks card. it doesn't have any money on it, but I have one.
I finally stumbled on the solution with Senuti and have recaptured what was on my iPod.
And, I'm not sure who it was here who recommended it...ita maybe?...but I've converted to Thunderbird. Since I lost all my non-web mail with the great doorstop conversion of my eMac, it seemed like a good time to try it. I have 5 working email addresses, so it's nice to have things come into one central place.
> They hooked the eMac up to one of their external hard drives and could not get anything at all off of it in the store. The fellow shook his head sympathetically and said that it would take a lot of time to suck the binaries off the drive and, even then, there was no guarantee that any of them would line up into useable documents.
I took that to mean deaddeaddead. Am I right?
Maaaybe. Here's one site with a detailed how-to for the original model: [link]
Plus from this Apple [link] it says
The contacts for the CRT are under a thick rubber boot first of all, so to contact them takes a little trying actually. In addition, that area is on the other side from where you would be working to change the hard drive, so you normally wouldn't be near it to begin with.
