Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

so, if you have an iPhone or iTouch and pay for an AT&T data plan, you can surf in Starbucks for free?

Apparently 'at a later date' iPhone users will be able to use it free. They're not rolling it out for a while yet 'cos they're replacing all the kit in all the stores.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Apparently 'at a later date' iPhone users will be able to use it free.

Where do you hear that, Kevin?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Do people really expect to be spending more than 2 hours at a time sitting in Starbucks' surfing the web that this is going to be an issue?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some people do. But I'm not one of those people.

Had they had AT&T and free wireless yesterday, I'd have been there all day. Home internet is out right now and I had stuff to do. Ended up at the library instead.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've known a number of people who've written their whole dissertations/books in coffee shops, or use them to be out of the house while freelancing. Of course, they're smart people who seek out the places with actual free wireless, but the time spent is totally plausible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am not those people, Jessica, but I do know them offboard.

I like my own stuff too much.
