From Jeff at Knowzy.com — A couple years back, Nintendo gave DS owners free Wi-Fi at McDonald’s. That agreement is now null and void - the agreement a two year contract between Ninetendo and McDonald’s Wi-Fi provider Wayport. The agreement wasn’t renewed. Under the Nintendo - McDonald’s agreement, the DS would connect automatically to McDonald’s Wi-Fi. Now it’s not so easy. Most public hotspots, including McDonald’s require a web browser for Internet access. The DS has no web browser, without one of two hardware add-ons. It turns out both of these were discontinued last year as well. Read the full story.

Did you know Jack In The Box is outfitting their restaurants with Free Wi-Fi? They are doing it quietly as part of their remodeling plan, and so far it’s included stores in California and Arizona. Despite the lack of any official announcement from JITB, Jeff at Knowzy.com confirmed it was true back in February, and now he’s created a Complete Guide to Jack In The Box Free Wi-Fi.

He’s done a great job with this guide, covering everything from the basics to the more advanced stuff. Pros and cons, how to sign-on, how to recognize which Jack in the Box locations offer the service, who powers the new system, etc.
