Starbucks Adds Coffee Orders to Its Wireless Network

Starbcks Wifi Coffee Orders

Starbucks, the second home of thousands of displaced workers and students, just made it easier to order a coffee while whiling away the hours at one of its locations. If you're on the Wi-Fi network at a Starbucks, you can simply pull up a browser screen and order a fresh cup o' joe. Of course, you still have to pay for the thing, and we'd be surprised if the cranky staff actually brings the coffee to you, but we are at least one step closer to not having to move at all when working and cranking on the caffeine.

Considering last week's deal with Apple iTunes, it seems as though Starbucks has figured out how to make an extra buck or two out of those of us who think we're there just to use the air conditioning and Wi-Fi. We patiently await the ability to schedule coffee orders ahead of time using an online interface.
