ugh...we were talking about ATT wi-fi service which is also in CA. Read the whole thread closer next time.
It's only free to iPhone and other at&t customers on their phones. Do you really think AT&T would invest in a wifi hotspot for non customers? Have you ever gone into a star bucks and checked your iPhone? It automatically switches to wifi in star bucks. Just like it will in the times sq hotspot.
Which one?
Im not telling.
This is one of the funniest threads weve had in a while, and it wasnt even supposed to be.
@citi: I thought we were talking about NYC, specifically Times Square (see Thread Title).
I am familiar with the social compact/contract theory. But it still boils down to society's social norms. And yes, talking on a cellular device in a quiet building or enclosed space with other people is "frowned" upon by a large portion of society, but I'm part of the group that does not care if someone is talking on the phone as long as they aren't loud. I like to eavesdrop.
Data service in midtown is virtually unusable. Nice start, but I don't think covering 4 blocks with wifi is helping much.
The financial district and TriBeCa are equally as bad. And the service in Brooklyn gets worse every month. AT&T just can't keep up with the pace of Apple's growth here.
Actually it's closer to 9 million.

Nooo...
Not one of THOSE people. Personally, I'm a Denny's man.
But anyway, one of those people who is annoyed by things only because certain segments of society have deemed them impolite. I don't think talking quietly on your phone on the bus is at all disturbing, annoying, or abrasive. I don't think it's much different then having a quiet conversation with a friend you might be sitting next to. But some people like to make a big deal of it, give indignant looks of disbelief, and go "hmph!" She strikes me as one of those people.
It's a little disheartening that because I'm a new yorker singling out a "type of person" you automatically make it some sort of class thing... Huh?

*whoosh* but that's okay.
She does strike me as one of those people. But she's hot so it's cool.
I enjoy eating at IHOP too. Anyone else? Anyone?
Extreme whoooooosh.
I only eat at the IHOP in NYC. It's the best.Because one could assume rdowns is so hot from the avatar, shouldn't she be able to say whatever she wants about New Yorkers. Hot Girl Rule #1: Hot girls can say whatever they want, because no one is listening to them anyway. Just sayin'.
I wonder why she likes the NY Jets though.
"Demi-God" is the default title once you contribute. She may have neglected to PM an admin to change it.....
