Come to the store apple, and bring your curiosity. It’s the best place to learn all about the Mac, check out an iPod, and see all the amazing things an iPhone can do. And if you find something you like, take it home that day. When you get to the store, find our Concierge in the orange shirt. The Concierge is your guide to everything from checking in for an appointment to instant checkout.

If you’re one of the first 1000 visitors, you’ll get a free Apple T-shirt.*

African-American women continue to demonstrate professionalism, intelligence and unlimited potential as they contribute to our world, and America. The sisters on Flights 5202 and 5106 (a jet owned by Atlantic Southeast Airlines) have proven that African-American women can do anything if just given a fair opportunity. They made history on Thursday, February 12, 2009 as the first all African American female crew.

Filed under: COOL STUFF, FREE, HOOK ME UP, TECHNOLOGY — Ricardo @ 9:53 AM

Hello Beautiful people!! 

Today is a wonderful day is’nt it? :D .. I have another hook up for you..

Do you love Coffee? Do you love free Internet?.. well who docent love free stuff, that’s why you’re a member of Hook me up.. hehehe. OK here’s the skinny Starbucks is giving away 2hours of free Internet every day when you buy a coffee on a Starbucks card..  This is great for road warriors like me who are on the go and need to meet with clients on the road… Some free Internet and a warm cup of coffee go very well together.  

Mmmmmm.. when I try it I will let you know how it goes.

============ 

Lattes & Laptops  come together at Starbucks Canada.

Visit your favourite Starbucks in Canada and use the Bell Internet Wi-Fi access Hotspot service. Hotspots provide high-speed Internet access where you need it most, and are the ideal way to stay connected.

In Fall 2008 the free Wi-Fi program is going to transition again as part of Starbucks Card Rewards.
