gizmodo.com — Ater spending $150 million on an empty aircraft, the client has to get into Boeing's Dreamliner showroom, like in a car dealership. There you have to pick the seats, including their their A/V equipment (like whooping 23" LCD monitors in first class,) and even the coffee pot.

Can someone at Gizmodo take a class in video editing? That's just about the worst hatchet job I've seen since film school.Or, better yet, can the submitter skip the crappy blog and go straight to the source? (yea, I know...)

Why does the description say you "have" to decide on how to customize your plane? Is that a bad thing?

Dugg for whooping.

Meanwhile back in coach each seat has a generously appointed 6"x4" screen, complete with random scratches, that works more than 60% of the time, offers a clear angle of view that extends a generous 2 degrees to each side and allows you to watch as much Oxygen Channel as you like (up to 1 hour prerecorded within the past 2 years), and includes an audio system with 12 channels of mufflephonic sound that includes something for everyone such as: polkas from the 30's, Lawrence Welk's Greatest Hit, Korean Folk music and Britney Spears' entire catalog.

Please define "a few extra dollars". Last time I looked at business class prices this equated to "s**tloads more"

Just get the guy in front to recline their seat all the way back, then lean right forward. Voila, a 23" screen experience for no extra cost!

What about 12+ hour flights? That's a long time on a plane, if you want comfort and you've got the money, why not?

That is a common misconception. Its only "s**tloads more" when you buy the tickets in advance. At the gate, an upgrade from coach to First Class is usually completely reasonable; you just have to ask fro it. Also you can generally get upgraded at no charge if you are high enough up in that airline's frequent flyer program.
