The probability of going to Starbucks and having to wrestle an armchair from some drain-pipe-pants wearing hipster just increased ten-fold. In fact it may be now be guaranteed. Starting July 1st, 2010 Starbucks will begin providing free WiFi to its US patrons who think that buying one coffee equates to the rightful, four-hour occupation of the uber-comfortable armchair seating. If you ask us, this is a huge mistake. Here’s a new sign you’re likely to see in a Starbucks window sometime soon: “Help Wanted: Bouncer.”
It has recently come to the attention of the NerdNews editors that we have recently lost a VIN (Very Important Nerd.) Chris Haney was half of the team who invented the board game which quickly became the cornerstone of countless Nerd parties - Trivial Pursuit. He was just 59 years old.
We think a perfect way to honour his memory, and his contribution to “our thing” would be to hold a memorial game of TP (any version will do.) If you really want to intimidate your would-be players bring up the idea with this bit of trivia, “Guess who recently passed away?”
