Free Wifi for all Starbucks stores

... in the U.S only.

What is this? Apparently, Starbucks is offering Free Wifi. But why only on U.S soil? (Article here)

Basically, free wifi to all U.S stores because of the increase of competition. Wait a minute... so... no love for those places where they dominate? One Starbucks back at the Philippines is pretty much filled to the neck from the moment it opens -- everyday.

I guess this is a very good idea. I mean... who here wouldn't say that coffee and wifi don't go hand-in-hand? Most Starbucks here in Japan don't offer free wifi, but, when I look at the coffee drinkers -- it's coffee in one hand, and a cellphone in the other. Look a little closer, you will see that they are not texting -- they are surfing the net.

Also, a few years back it was.. relax and watch a movie - but now - relax, watch a movie, chillax and drink coffee -- at Starbucks. See!

Present beats Past

At least in the world of Tennis, current World #1, Roger Federrer, beats former World #1, Pete Sampras. Their classic match took place at South Korea, Seoul in an exhibition match aptly dubbed as Super Match VI. The match itself is already a very very rare event to see at any given moment that's why it is so super.

These two extreme athletes already met 6 years ago at Wimbledon. It was Federer who conquered Sampras in a 5 set adrenalin pumping match. Truly a classic!

But, this is just one of the 3 matches that these two will compete against. So -- I think we will be hearing more about these two in the near future.
