Secure your Mac at Starbucks
Don't feel badly, I can't resist that green mermaid logo either. Since I like to check the mail and surf the web while I drink my usual, I make sure my Mac is secure while on the T-Mobile Hot Spot. There's a great tip at Mac OS X Hints about locking down your Mac for that very situation. The process involves creating a new 802.1x configuration in Internet Connect, resulting in a secure TTLS setup. It's not too tricky, but will take some clicking around. Good luck, and take your caffeine with confidence.

Cool.
Decaf Grandé Iced Americano please!
Oh and for those with a PSP T-Mobil is offering 6 months of free access. That's worth more than a new PSP; you should be able to find then for less than $180 now.

"Don't feel bad," not badly. Bad.

Don't feel badly,
Don't worry, my fingers work great. I never feel badly. I also don't feel bad about my starbucks addiction.

1. It's Iced decaf grande americano, get the order correct
2. It's not a mermaid. It's a Siren. There is a difference. Google it.

I was considering using something like Hotspot VPN. Anyone used that solution? I heard Leo Laporte saying that he used it. They have a plan that will let your iphone ride on the plan for free.

Starbucks in the US... Starbucks in many other countries has free wifi access. One can use a personal VPN in these scenarios

I didn't realise they were T-Mobile-run in most Starbucks stores. Very annoying, I thought it was free.
