Find yourself residing the Big Apple? Good news — if you’re a digital junkie anyway. 32 New York City parks will soon be blanketed with “Free” WiFi. Of course, the free is slightly misleading. New Yorkers won’t be able to live outside and still consume all the online content they’ve grown accustomed to. The city, like every other city in the country, needs to make money to keep the lights on, water flowing, citizens happy, etc., etc. ...
As much as I’d love to, I simply won’t be in Times Square for the big ball drop into 2010. But just because I’m not there doesn’t mean I’m missing out.

Go to Apple’s or AT&T’s website and try and order an iPhone with any...
In most circumstances I’d advise you to be extra leery and even outright avoid street vendors in large cities such as Chicago and New York. What often seem like nice and honest people are actually anything but, scamming gullible tourists and such out of their dollars in exchange for cheap crap.
