Starbucks uses second rate beans (not arabica), which grow on the plains not on the hillside which means they have less flavor, which in turn forces the over toasting of the beans to give any flavor, which is why the coffee tastes burned.

I actually really hate Starbucks for doing this, as virtually every other chain coffee shop buys and uses arabica beans that taste so much better. Starbucks is thinking about its bottom line, and not about the products it serves.

Hence I will always go somewhere else.

As for the T-Mobile service i was forced to use it last time i was in LA for webmaster access last year and its a fucking nuisance and takes ages to download stuff. Not worth paying $10 a day for (or however much it was), thats for sure.
