Nasty breakup

Some people get their daily gossip from perez or tv shows like gossip girl or the OC, but not the technocrat. Obviously I get off on the gossip between Starbucks and Tmobile... It seems as though their breakup isn't going so well. As the story goes, Starbucks broke it off with Tmobile because he wanted to date AT&T because with them they could give away free wifi. Tmobile wasn't going to just let this happen and strung out the breakup, leaving articles of clothing and CDs in Starbuck's truck. When Tmobile came to do a service check she found that AT&T was wearing one of her favorite sweaters!! Yeah, so apparently AT&T was giving away free wifi on Tmobile's equipment- whoops! I still see it as just a bitter breakup and Starbucks and AT&T are the real winners here, leaving tmobile crying by herself.. in the rain.. without a jacket. (if anyone picked up on the whole dane cook thing behind that all I love you even more)

So in the end, it looks like Starbucks will be really giving away free wifi! About time I say!! "Under the new AT&T partnership, Starbucks offers two hours of free Wi-Fi Internet service to customers who have at least have $5 on their Starbucks cards." When I was really into going to coffee shops to do my work it always killed me that sbucks charged an arm and a leg for the service, something like $10 a day or something. Yo, I'm a college student, I don't have the money to pay $10 a day to use internet! But another shop opened up my freshman year, Milkboy that gave away their wifi for free and had trendy hipsters and open mic nights etc. which are always fun. So now where are the Mawrters going to go? PARADOX OF CHOICE ahhhhhhhhhh

PS: yeah, I did make that picture, what about it?

free wifi at milkboy????? lord i've been missing out...

ps-the pic definitely conveys the gut wrenching pain of a breakup, i'm starting a slow clap in your honor. although (to continue the dane references) i wonder if tmobile was originally just like "where's my coat??? I gotta get OUT of HEEERE!"
