I’ve given up on bottled water for awhile now… althought I’ll still pick one up here and there for convenience while I’m on the go…

Nowadays everyone needs to be connected. In Russia it’s no exception. People want to connect and providers try to link them all but the lack of communication tunnels in old Russian heavily populated houses make the task more challenging leading to the solutions like the ones on those photos.

Consumer reports on extended warranties…

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.
