Great!! When I travel, I want to be able to go into a coffee shop, get my espresso, and pay for my espresso without subsidizing your desire to sit down and use your laptop on the internet without having to hand out credit card information or any other sort of credentials. I make a point of only frequenting coffee shops for their coffee, which I pay for. The expectation of free internet access is about as arbitrary as expecting a free blowjob during my oilchange at Jiffylube.

In-Depth With the Windows 7 Public Beta 785

Dozer writes "With the Windows 7 public beta out, Ars Technica has an in-depth look at the release. There's praise for Windows 7's UI changes and polish as well much-needed changes to UAC, but also a warning that those who have problems with Vista won't like Windows 7 much better. 'If you couldn't stand Vista's UI (whether it's because you didn't like Explorer, Aero, Control Panel, UAC, or anything else), Windows 7 is unlikely to do much to help, as it builds on the same UI. If Vista's hardware demands were too steep, Windows 7 will likely cause you the same grief, as its hardware demands match. And if Vista didn't work with a program or device you need to use, Windows 7 will offer no salvation, as its compatibility is virtually identical.'"
