Connexion by Boeing

Wow. WiFi in the air. This is how it should always be, even though I know the massive cost is what holds the airlines back. Maybe we'll have to turn to JetBlue for affordable consumer Internet airline service? I feel like a rock star – chartered jet, Eric Rice, Phil Torrone, Robert Scoble mere seats away. They're serving champagne, but I'm playing the part of a responsible passenger. In fact, I'm holding off on uploading anything massive (like photos or live video) so that others might also enjoy this experience. Doesn't seem like we've tapped Connexion's connection potential. Skype is amazing up here – unbelievable quality. Okay, I know I said I was acting responsible, but one of Skype's selling points is that it doesn't use much bandwidth to get its data packets across the infobahn. Noise canceling headphones are a necessity for flights, no doubt. Does anybody use those stupid phones in the back of the seats, anyway? Oh, and they also have live outlets underneath the seats, so there's no fear of ever running out of juice. Goodonya, Boeing.

This Week In Games

This week we covered a lot of new, including the Majesco class-action lawsuit, EA games picking up Half-Life 2, and others.

Please note: I did not cover the rating reversal of Grand theft Auto: San Andreas. I’ll be providing a special edition of TWiG with my opinion on the subject tomorrow.


Ask Leo

iTunes now supports podcasting, but in doing so, did Apple take a page from Microsoft’s book of tactics?

Skype in United Kingdom

d section off part of the cabin in today’s world of seat revenue chasing, but a plane with Skype in every seat would be even better. It’s a shame that Connexion by Boeing got axed before I had a chance to try it out, but according toChris Pirilloand Vincent Brousseau Skype worked like a dream. Maybe SRB can make it happen again…
