Panera bread locations that have Wifi (not all do), while free, still might come with a price - two prices, in fact:
1: privacy/security - you can forget about it, they track every website you go to and
2: site blocking; one in particular I found rather odd is the blocking of livevideo.com - as they are one of the few from the "ustream/sitckam/blogtv" crowd that actually has an always-defaulted-on Family "Friendly" button!
The problem I find here is that Panera isn't actually checking these blocked sites for contraband, other than perhaps for keywords; such as "twogirlsonecup!". Well, we all know that 99% of those sites are reaction videos and (thanlfully, yet how would I know) not the "real McCoy" - or is it MacCoy? How Dare You, Panera? You need to lighten up or you may find your free access go the way of the dodo.
And, btw, they also block Anonymizer.com - go figure.
Public Access? Net Neutrality? Can anybody say "throttling"?
Confidence? Damn right!
This blog is imbued with "ada-quada-quacity", strives to be most oxymoronic, and ultimately of high opinion!
