- agaiziunas, on 11/23/2008, -18/+132Damn the author looks like he belongs on VIRGIN airlines.
- Binto, on 11/23/2008, -8/+58I thought that picture was of a really ugly asian girl with black pigtails...*shudders*
- Amplix, on 11/23/2008, -4/+46hahah! I almost sprayed my screen with coke when I read the first comment there..
"That's the most realistic Mii I've ever seen."
so true - kday, on 11/23/2008, -0/+32Not only did he post the article from the plane, but he posted it using no hands.
Now that's what I call skill. - jhos1991, on 11/23/2008, -2/+29time to unleash
http://boortz.com/mp3/archive/countdown.swf - kday, on 11/23/2008, -3/+27"And yes, I posted this live, 15k feet over the Pacific Ocean."
What commercial jet flies at 15,000 feet? - Wade, on 11/23/2008, -1/+20Actually, it's magic. Hard to believe, but I've done the research.
- pak314, on 11/23/2008, -0/+17and a mustache?
- Iwantawii, on 11/23/2008, -0/+16I heard it's because they have an iPhone in the flight deck.
- GraemeNorway, on 11/23/2008, -1/+16Hmmm why didn't we have this like three years ago?
- Chompy, on 11/23/2008, -2/+15Where there's internet, there's Skype. Ain't gonna be no blocking Skype. No carrier should enable phone conversations on airplanes until they have installed a passenger-operable airlock.
- Mtbeaver, on 11/23/2008, -1/+14Thats pretty cool... Its not too expensive either.
- Paulish, on 11/23/2008, -0/+13Don't forget to press F11 to make it full screen.
- darkciti2, on 11/23/2008, -1/+12Looks more like he can afford VIRGIN airlines.
His looks are immaterial - he posted a good article. - Stavrosian, on 11/23/2008, -1/+12Why do you need to read a book? Why not just sit there and stare at your hand?
- brook011, on 11/23/2008, -0/+11Seriously, unless you're going to take your laptop into the bathroom, who really cares about laptop porn on your flight? It's like cheerleaders at a sporting event, sure it's great to watch, but you can't whip it out and beat it. Really unsatisfying.
- inactive, on 11/23/2008, -3/+11"That's the most realistic Mii i've ever seen"
lol... indeed... - breadfred, on 11/23/2008, -0/+8Not that there is anything wrong with that..
- starf, on 11/23/2008, -1/+8FTA: "Most airlines, even those that are not blocking ports, are blocking known VOIP ports."
If they're not blocking ports, then how are they blocking VOIP *ports*? - Ric33r, on 11/23/2008, -1/+7And throw them out of the airlock like Cylons.
- cdawzrd, on 11/23/2008, -0/+6Science. It works, bitches.
Actually, it's ground-to-air. And if you think about it, satellites are also in motion, and are much higher, and handle much much more bandwidth than airplanes (ground to satellite to ground, etc) - ggko, on 11/23/2008, -0/+6Times change, needs change. Can you go without any kind internet or mobile phone access for a few days? weeks? A few hours definitely, so in-flight wifi is pretty frivolous.
But you can argue the same for in-flight movies, snacks, air phone service, and most anything that isn't your seat. This is just another service (albeit for a fee) to separate the airline from the competition. - doingallright, on 11/23/2008, -1/+7Does anyone know how a plane can get the internet from so high and so far away?
I guess it is probably satellites? - Hindu_Wardrobe, on 11/23/2008, -0/+5I only hope this'll happen on international flights as well. Trans-Oceanic flights could really use some internet to pass the time. (If this is happening on itl flights, please enlighten me)
- doingallright, on 11/23/2008, -0/+5Why have a tv on the plane? It makes for a more enjoyable trip. Same applies to being connected to the net.
When you're on a flight from England to Australia I think there is plenty of time in between to take a nap and read a book. - Chompy, on 11/23/2008, -1/+5Spoken like someone who has no idea how Skype works.
- Cglass, on 11/23/2008, -0/+4Fajita what does the scouter say about the altitude?
- darkciti2, on 11/23/2008, -0/+3I hope you get to ~30,000 ft. real soon, dude. If they turned the seat belt light off at a 15k foot ceiling, I really hope you were just skydiving.
I'd doubt that a Virgin Atlantic commercial flight would be careless.
Richard Branson is the epitome of a bad ass billionaire. - GawtMilk, on 11/23/2008, -0/+3http://www.planebuzz.com/2007/11/we_knew_this_was_ ...
- jameszhao00, on 11/23/2008, -1/+4They can install software that gives you bursts of normal speeds but prevents you from sustaining that speed.
- gatewaydrug, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2"It's like cheerleaders at a sporting event, sure it's great to watch, but you can't whip it out and beat it."
Speak for yourself. - Fa113nStar, on 11/23/2008, -1/+3i cant wait till they have their first porn related incident on a flight... it's gonna be skeet skeet all over the airplane floor... gosh..
- dhyancraig, on 11/23/2008, -3/+5"1. Your last bastion of Internet Free peace is gone. Forever. You'll be forced to work on flights instead of valium napping or reading comic books, and your boss will expect you to be checking email. Time to plan a camping trip."
Screw that; I'm going to sleep. Valium here I come! - inactive, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2Dugg for the fact that:
http://gizmodo.com/5095310/flight-test-porn-and-vo ...
the first thing they tested was pr0n. - rockstar1o9, on 11/23/2008, -2/+4He looks like the Pringles dude.
- Ellipsys, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2Many of Ken Watanabe's roles would probably disagree with you. If you get it right, you've got "Samurai Chic". If you get it wrong, you fail miserably.
- InTheBurbs, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1You made a typo. FAA is what you meant to say.
- skyred, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1perfect for in-flight gaming!
- wcoenen, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1It's satellite, e.g. Boeing's connexion service.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0CWU/is_200 ... - Betrayer, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1This is amazing? do any of you realize what this means? (by the comments here it seems that most of you dont)
you can now have HIGH SPEED internet access anywhere in the world (its actually beaming down and hitting you in the head right now)
this is a History in the making moment for the internet!... WOW!
i wonder what the hacking groups are working on these days? - Vich, on 11/23/2008, -1/+2Yeah, Ken looks bad-ass with the facial hair.
- SPLASTiK, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1I wonder how this will compare to Row44's Satellite Internet offering that Alaska and Southwest are going to be using. I'd assume Satellite would be better than picking it up from ground towers?
- foofightrs777, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1Annyong.
- cJeremy, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1wi-fi on planes is old news.... and iChat sucks
- kday, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Help. I pressed F11 and now all my windows are hidden. How do I get them back?
- linagee, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1@Betrayer: The liability lawsuit potential is the same reason why they don't block cell phones in movie theaters and hospitals. It should apply to VoIP also. Everywhere.
- xxxkrogoth, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1more like spank for yourself
- Betrayer, on 11/23/2008, -1/+2Liability?, and who will be able to prove in a court that your Skype call would have saved the plane.
who would you call? (and what event would give you the luxury of sitting on hold or going into automated menus for 10-15 minutes) -
