If you need to use a Computer for a shorter time: visit a Library. The most of them have Computers free to use but limited in time (1hr or so), but you can always ask to extend. In the National-Library ("Nationalbibliothek", Tram #8) you just need to ask the Person by the Computers (not the person in the entrance) for a Code.
There's a free internet café at Monbijoustrasse 16. Follow the tram lines of #9 south out of the center and find the Internet Cafe Power Point on your right hand side. The place is just for the unemployed and poverty-stricken, but if you're a penniless traveller, they'll likely let you use one of their machines for half an hour. [EDIT. Summer 2017. NEVER (Never mention you are a traveller, hitchhiker or whatsoever. The moment we told the guy of the Power Point that we were hitchhikers he considered us to be tourists and mentioned that we were just pretending to be poor. AVOID these words by all means and ALWAYS say you live in Bern for long-term])
Alternatively, there also is a free, publicly useable computer with internet at the [http://www.denk-mal.info Autonomous School] at Lagerweg 12. From the train station, go downhill towards and past the well-known alternative culture center Reitschule, cross the bridge, turn left and turn right. Open most days around 6-8pm, and at other times.
