Wendy's Says No Wi-Fi for Now

Wendy's Says No Wi-Fi for Now 04/25/2004 07:27 PM
Investor's Business Daily notes that Wendy's may be challenging Burger King for the No. 2 fast food slot, but the CEO isn't interested in Wi-Fi: This perhaps puts Wendy's out of the near-term running for the next major QSR (quick-service restaurant) that adds Wi-Fi. But the CEO is dismissive: At lunchtime, the idea is table turns and you don't want people staying at their tables surfing. If there's a way to do that in the afternoons only, we will., he says. However, he's not looking at his own numbers well enough. The article notes that 65 percent of Wendy's business is drive-through, and a significant fraction of its counter business is most likely take-away as well. The idea of Wi-Fi is that it's a tool to load the restaurants during off-times. Businesspeople aren't going to come in and spend two hours over lunch trying to get work done, but they might spend money on food and Wi-Fi. A lack of seating rarely discourage the fast-food patron; they take it to go, if they have to, but they don't find another restaurant....

Woman finds finger in Wendy's chili

Woman finds finger in Wendy's chili 03/24/2005 12:05 AM
David Pescovitz: No, it's not an urban legend. Yesterday, a woman at a Wendy's in Santa Clara, California put a spoonful of chili in her mouth, paused, and spit out a human fingertip. From the San Francisco Chronicle:

Santa Clara County Health Officer Dr. Martin Fenstersheib said today the woman was horrified "due to the unpleasant sensation of having this (object) in her mouth...."

The restaurant at 1405 Monterey Highway was temporarily closed Tuesday night to allow health officials to impound the remaining chili, which was prepared on site, using a variety of ingredients. Health officials also seized all of the restaurant's remaining stock of ingredients, which will be inspected, and traced back to their manufacturer.

Since all of the workers at the restaurant were in possession "of all 10 of their fingers," health inspectors assume the finger likely entered the food chain as a result of the manufacturing process, according to county Environmental Resources Director Ben Gale.

According to this Weblog, there are concerns that installing the .NET 2.0 framework may have allegedly “broken” his ASP.NET mobile applications. While I have yet to substantiate this claim, it is only fair to warn others to be careful in case they are also considering the upgrade.

Opinion: Universal DVD recorders are great in concept. You no longer have to worry about whether you use DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW. But you do have to worry about which brand and where it's made. What's worse is that some are finicky about CD-RW media. This is supposed to be easier?

Treo woes

Treo woes 04/09/2004 04:03 PM
My beloved Treo 600 is suddenly on the fritz.  It makes and receives calls, but whenever I turn it off and on, it locks in the keyguard mode.  Shutting off keyguard didn't help, nor did soft and hard resets.  This is something serious.  Time to call the equipment replacement program, which fortunately I signed up for.

Woes of Big Holidays

Woes of Big Holidays 12/27/2004 08:25 AM

Egad.  One down, one more to go.  I hate big holidays because the big ones are actually three in one: Blah Eve, Blah itself, and After-Blah Sales Day.

On Blah Eve, my wife expects me to pay attention to her.  That means lots of kisses and lip service.  I wonder if the word Eve being the name of the first gal had something to do with this.

On the Blah Day, my wife expects me to pay attention to the family.  In modern terms, this means doing far more TV watching than my usual 30 minutes a day.  The worst part is that TV programming really sucks on such days.  Radio is even worse.

On the After-Blah Sales Day, my wife expects me to be invisible.  Actually she is the one that does the disappearing act from dawn til dusk.  If I happen to get up too early, I get the deathray look.  This morning, I got up just as she was putting on her shoes to go out shopping.  Oops.

Congestion Woes

Congestion Woes 10/29/2003 01:39 PM
Concerns around the effects that too many users may have on Wi-Fi networks seems to be the hot topic these days: This writer suggests a somewhat unclear idea revolving around a "congestion charge" and technology that will turn off clients that aren't being used. I just don't think congestion is going to be that huge of a problem. It will be in certain circumstances like at trade shows and possibly on a busy street where every shop offers Wi-Fi. But otherwise I just don't expect it to be debilitating....
