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.

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

2. It's not a mermaid. It's a Siren. There is a difference. Google it.
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.
Starbucks in the US... Starbucks in many other countries has free wifi access. One can use a personal VPN in these scenarios

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.
