Boston Globe article looks at Wi-Fi loiterers: A local angle to a story that I wrote a year ago April about a non-trend, but an interesting development, in cafes and other establishments that were restricting Wi-Fi use, sometimes turning it off for hours or on weekends. In Boston, there appears to be a lot more direct action than here in Seattle. We’re passive aggressive; they may just be..aggressive.

Yes,these people are cheap. Something for nothing. Best thing is to turn it off during peak hours. Block people from using the free electricity.
When I go to Starbucks I sit at the bar with my laptop. Nothing else is in front of me except my tea and a bagel or something. I'll spend about an hour to an hour and a half listening to my iTunes songs and reading my favorite "on line" newspapers. Starbucks has only one outlet with room for two plugs. Lately, the same girl uses both plugs: one for her computer and one for her CD player. I'd love to tell her to pack it up.
[Editor's Note: I believe there's a future pickup line in that outlet story. "Hi," he says, pulling out a power strip, "Can I share the juice?"--gf]
