Currently writing this at Starbucks, using the ATTWifi that ATT graciously allows iphone owners to use for free. It is unfortunate they don’t allow ATT subscribers to use their computers as well. Yet here I am, typing away. Sure, it took about 30 minutes but now that I have it setup I’ll be good to go next time (fingers crossed). It’s pretty simple although the command line coding will probably scare off most people. Still, for the record, here is the link to where I found it:
Hack for Free Starbucks wi-fi on your laptop (if you have an iPhone
I was a little confused by the digits that look like “ones” (11) but are actually supposed to be “elle’s” (ll). so, it would look like this:
sudo ifconfig en1 down lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55
where the digits are replaced w/ the MAC address of your iphone.
Pretty sweet that this works. hope it continues to.

Yesterday I received a replacement back for my iphone and (much to Daniél’s disappointment) dove into the project immediatly. 2 hours (and many tools) later I am feeling way over my head. I mean seriously “0″ size Phillips head….?! All 13 of them. At a certain point my only point of refuge was thinking that 3G iPhones are coming out in 11 days and they’re only $200. But still I trialed onward. When I finally snapped it back together I was extremely surprised that all the buttons worked. But alas I am typing this very blog on a fully functional iPhone.
Only minor issue is the headphone jack. The main problem with my phone (pre-surgery) was a dent that intruded on the headphone jack (also a huge gap allowing dust dirt etc). The jack now looks fine and will allow a headphone with some difficulty. Apparently one of the ’0′ size screw may have been a bit cockeyed. Oh well. Not much of a headphone user anyway. At least now it looks good enough to sell and replace with a 3G!
