The 404 Podcast 488: Where we now offer free Wi-Fi–with the purchase of a Happy Meal

This may be the last week of live 404 episodes for 2009, and it’s also been the most hectic. With Wilson missing his second day in a row and Caroline McCarthy being bedridden by a holiday cold, Mark Licea and Bonnie Cha help me hold down the fort.

I’m leechin’ it.

Today’s show is all about giving, and McDonald’s is jumping on board with the announcement that they’ll be offering free Wi-Fi starting in 2010. Not sure the first thing we’d want to touch after scarfing down a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit is a laptop keyboard, but hey, free is free.

Speaking of giving, The Hangover giveaway is still going on! Send us your best (but most likely worst) hangover stories to the404 [at] cnet [dot] com before Friday for your chance to win!

Sick of AT&T service? Tired of seeing Luke Wilson in those misleading coverage ads? You might want to join up with Chokehold, a grassroots movement to overload the AT&T network this Friday. We’re not condoning this type of behavior, but Luke really is annoying in those commercials.

All this plus more stories and a great calls from the public segment!
