The other bad news is, this news is sure to render my “It’s so nice in the park right now, why are you still at work” posts totally meaningless.

What about Kid Power Park? Damn.
Yeah, no Herons Head, Candlestick point, Warm Water cove or even Mclaren park. Not that anyone from Google has ever even set foot in the SE part of this city. Thanks for “giving back”, Google.
You’re really going to complain about free wifi. How dare they only give free wifi to 32 parks. They didn’t give it to my favorite park. Corporate bastards!
I actually cut my complaining off 1/8 about this self serving front. But yeah it’s a great “let them eat cake” thing they’ve got going on here. Let’s face it they spent 600 grand so their employees could work outside. But of course nobody from Google lives in the Bayview. And why would anyone in Bayview need free wifi? If they even matched this money doing something more productive for the city I would complain less. Especially because that amount of dough is like Google taking a piss.
Good point, indeed!
More fromaggio with this gentleman’s, whine, please! Something “more” productive. LOLz
Whether something is self-serving and whether it serves others are not mutually exclusive.
That’s a real cute observation, dude. Got anything else to add in between your wank-offs? Giving free wifi out to parks may serve others but who is going to benefit infinitely more here?
Yikes, jealous much?
Let me guess: You’re uneducated and broke, right?
Plus debt free!!
THANKS OBAMA
Actually, you make a great point. There’s definitely a reason why Google chose some locations over others. This isn’t a digital inclusion project by any means.
LOVE
Golden Gate also isn’t on that list.
Heron’s Head and Warm Water Cove belong to the Port of SF, not Parks and Rec. Candlestick Point is a State Park.
Maybe size is an issue for GG Park and McLaren?
Stu please move back to wherever you came from. See ya won’t wanna be ya!
I’ll take your troll bait. Born and raised, you?
I LOVE YOU
mclaren park is the only park on your list that is an actual SF city park, and it’s probably not on the list for the same reason that GG park isn’t on the list (too darn big.)
nice try troll, spin again
Another way for the government to track the masses, the sky is falling.
Where is Chicken John to help scuttle this corporate incursion into public space? We need him now more than ever.
DIY, LOVE
If I only had a trust fund…
his wife doesn’t work for Yahoo, so he’s not interested.
I think this is a great first step towards free city-wide wifi – which both encourages more tech people to work outside – and forces current ISP’s to innovate in order to stay competitive.
Geoff rules!
Another reason to avoid Dolores Park.
They’re not hipsters. They’re yuppies. Far worse. Hipsters can at least provide some poorly executed art or humor. Yuppies just want the world to be a mall so they can pump out parasitic children.
Hipster are sameseys, pal. They just dress differently.
dontcomplainzombieslave – you are right that there’s a parasitic child nearby. Care to guess who it is?
If you say so.
LOVE
Google has only payed for two years of free WiFi, the article states.
After 2yrs you will have to login, and pay, by the hour or day.
This is exactly what has happened in other cities, it’s free for the first one or two years, then the funding for it stops, and you will have to login and pay.
It’s good advertising for Google’s pay and play, wifi in the park, clever.
LOVE
stop that!
yeah, when I read that I thought “suckers”
http://mv-voice.com/news/show_story.php?id=7188
It’s not working in Mtn View after 5 years, so this sounds like a future cost for the city.
A bit bummed that Holly Park didn’t make the list. But, y’know, gift horse and all that.
Google rules!
LOVE
Take your free Wi-Fi and shove it up Silicon Valley’s ass. I’ll take no Wi-Fi, and less tech dipshits in SF. Fucking GoogleTown
Luv
LOVE
THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED
at least according to these comments.
Ain’t NOTHING free up in this bitch.
You may think it’s free, but your ass is being sold, fools – just like my comments here on this blog.
C’mon peeple.
Can a vato get a lap dance?
don’t dooooooo ittttttttttttt
the park is your respite AWAY from the interwebz. be freeeeeee don””’ttttt do itttttt!!!
parasitic mall children pumps suck. go away techie toons go away!
Google always be bling’n it.
Neighborhood parks are the last place where free wi-fi should be made available.
I’d prefer they take that money and build housing at their ‘campus’ as they call it, for all their employees and get their buses off our streets. Get out of the Mission Google. Why don’t you live down by where you work!! Go away!!!!
