A third of internet users connect wirelessly. Wi-fi use has doubled since 2005 according to a Pew study. Which brings me to a pet peeve: Starbucks and T-Mobile.

The business model in which you pay for casual wireless access was based on business users in airports, not normal people in coffee shops and bookstores. Normal people don't pay ten bucks an hour, one shot, to sit in Starbucks to access the internet when it's free at home, especially when, on top of paying, you have to navigate through a famously unwieldy and frustrating sign-up process.

Starbucks puts those comfy chairs in their stores to bring people in. Makes sense. T-Mobile is that hard, uncomfortable chair in the corner with the nails poking through that you have to pay to sit in. That, I don't get.
