| Re: Washington airports aren't there either On the rail station for newark & linden (both cities have airports) they have the combo opt/comc wifi. Not sure about inside newark, i'll check if i end up going up that way friday. Linden i dunno, it's a much smaller operation meant for general aviation craft.

GeeWiz Google can't even give something away without somebody bitching about it......Oh Michigan, I understand now. The State's economy is trashed because of destruction of the Car industry caused by miss-management, the UAW, and the Federal Government. with the State left holding the bag. You have my sympathy

| Re: Not to great PR said by iansltx :Why? Google is going around not being evil, and they offer this. Why? Because more people online at airports = more Google views. Everyone wins. Google isn't the government, and I'm sure this is dirt cheap compared to paying even a dozen people unemployment... It is clear you didn't quite understand the post.
Also, if you think those Mountain View clowns "do no evil", just keep drinking that Kool-Aid. | |

Original poster...
I would rather see Google pay someones bills who have been out of work for over 1 year due to these tough economic times then to offer free services to those who can afford such expensive luxuries like traveling via airliner.
Me...with clarifications
Yeah...perhaps like some people FROM Google (who lost their jobs) ...after kicking them to the curb (the Do No Evil Google did the kicking) when they buy a company and SCREW it into the GROUND. (the Do No Evil Borg did this, where many of my former co workers are still out of work 7 months later Some of us who were lucky to find work took a 50% paycut in order to eat).
Hope this clears it up.
Your post "Google is going around not being evil". While the words "do no" are not in the post, the Borg does a substantial amount of evil...every day.
At no time did I ever imply that Google was Uncle Sam. I was being sarcastic regarding the original post I responded to. That adolescent romper room with no clue how the real world works does plenty of evil, but their brainwashed fanboys across the entire Internet trip all over themselves with this "but Google isn't evil" crap.

Golden, CO | Re: Not to great PR *shrugs* Companies buy other companies, and lay off people. Life sucks, but might be more efficient that way.
By the way, which company did Google buy and lay off people from? DoubleClick, by any chance? | |

| Re: Not to great PR dMarc Feb, 2006. Sold this past summer. Took 2 functioning products, currently working 24-7/365 and sunsetted them, for their "brilliant" system, written in Java, and so unstable, as week barely goes by without a crash. Products for mission critical environments that barely run 1 week. "Best and brightest" my @$$.
The Borg couldn't understand WHY the industry they bought into, just simply would not do things the "Google" way, just because, well, they are Google.
So they sell the business, and upset the lives of nearly 60 brilliant people...and if they had stayed the hell out of the business in the first place, we would ALL be better off. | |

Mind you the customers would be happy but we can't have that. Especially at airports.

In reality, AT&T and T-mo have contracts at O'Hare, and if you know what you are doing you can get free access from both. | |
