Walk into a coffee shop in Palo Alto (say…Coupa). Pull out your computer, open your gmail or git or twitter. Go try that in NYC before researching exactly which shop has WiFi.

Interesting point. Was at Coupa just this weekend. Couldn't get Wifi :)

Yeah they turn it off on the weekend to encourage conversation, but if you ask real nice sometimes you can get 'em to turn it on.

And you can usually pull in a signal from Old Pro...

Never had luck with that one. Maybe it's the aluminum mac body? Anyway, I got an N1 and that has pretty much solved this for me worldwide.
