How come Times Square gets all of the perks? First it got all of those free chairs, then it got free bathrooms, now it gets free WiFi! From now through next year, Yahoo will provide free wireless internet service to those who visit the pedestrian island on Broadway between 43rd and 44th streets. Passersby who aren't carrying their computers can even borrow laptops on a first-come, first-served basis, according to the Daily News.
