Default Zagat's Guide To... Wi-Fi?

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm..._intel_zagat_dc

"Intel Corp. wants to redefine what constitutes a trendy hot spot. The world's largest chip maker, whose first major marketing campaign touted 'Intel Inside,' is now taking the 'Intel' brand outside and on the town with a mini-guide to restaurants and hotels that offer wireless computer access, also known as Wi-Fi 'hotspots.'

The guide, published in partnership with Zagat Survey and featured in the current issue of The New Yorker magazine, lists more than 50 top-rated Zagat spots with Wi-Fi access in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle. Sites include The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, the Park Hyatt in San Francisco and the Oyster Bar at the Plaza Hotel in New York."

Hmm... we no longer just have hotspots, we have trendy hotspots. 8O I bet McDonald's Wi-Fi setup isn't going to make it on the list... :lol:

In their restaurant listing, they missed the Canadian Rockies including The Fairmont Palliser, The Fairmont Banff Springs and The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, all of which have WiFi. In fact, they missed all of Canada except Vancouver and Toronto.
