Starbucks Partners with Google for Wi-Fi and What Does That Mean to People

According to Mashable.com, 

Starbucks is planning to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in more than 7,000 of its stores in the United States over the next year and a half, with help from Google, the coffee chain announced Wednesday.

 Some see this as a normal deal that happens between two companies but if you think out of the box it is a win for Google, it can be a long marketing deal between Google and Starbucks and it is because we have all heard the jokes that Apple Fanboys go to Starbucks, take their Macbook or iPad out and do their business but now imagine the Internet is provided by Google. You will have welcome page when you connect to the internet from Google and maybe some extra features if you are using Google Products. Starbucks might be the biggest Apple Center after Apple Stores but now with this Google will surely try to fight them. It might not be as obvious as normal wars but it seems like Google will try to force Apple Geeks to use Google Products in Starbucks.

Apple TV's Pricedrop Right After Google's Chromecast Announcement

Google's Chromecast features were exciting and when you hear that Google's HDMI dongle comes only for $35 it is more exciting. But do you think Apple stays silent? Some say it can be a coincident and some say it is a fast reaction but at the end refurbished Apple TVs are now only $75 which is $10 cheaper than yesterday and comes with free shipping. 

I believe this pricedrop was scheduled to be done even before Chromecast but maybe announcement of Chromecast gave some value to it and forced Apple to do it faster.

In Chromecast and Apple TV comparison the unique UI design of Apple and the physical remote and airplay mirroring (For Apple Products only) will cost you additional $40 in compare to $35 for Chromecast
