Adventures of Link: "Free" WiFi

You've heard, right? Starbucks will start giving away two-hour chunks of WiFi to people who use their 'bux card at least once a month. Given that we're more into alternative coffee shops, we're having a hard time getting excited about getting online this way.

Besides, it's not actually free: You have to buy stuff! Still, for a lot of people, this is probably a good deal. (Just make sure to read through the extensive rules and restrictions.)

But we did get excited about certain Starbucks airport locations. Would they give us a work-around for those obnoxious $10-a-day fees? According to the searches we did... No. All the airport locations we checked are WiFi-free. Weak!
