Extended Warranties
Consumer reports on extended warranties…
Retailers are pushing hard to get you to buy extended warranties, or service plans, because they’re cash cows. Stores keep 50 percent or more of what they charge for warranties. That’s much more than they can make selling actual products.

Starbucks Switches to AT&T from T-Mobile
This is HUGE – Starbucks Switches to AT&T from T-Mobile for their Wifi service! I wonder if this means that all AT&T DSL customers get free access at Starbucks now? Wow!
Starbucks is shredding its deal in place since 2001, originally with MobileStar then T-Mobile, to switch to AT&T as their Wi-Fi provider. That moves 7,000 locations from T-Mobile’s ledgers of nearly 9,000 to AT&T’s. It turns AT&T from “McDonald’s plus,” with a relatively small footprint of other locations, to a 15,000-location giant. AT&T is also part of Boingo’s roaming network, which could mean (no news yet on this) that Boingo customers would suddenly add 7,000 highly desirable domestic roaming locations.
