JetBlue is not offering unfettered access to the Web - at least not yet - so no googling your in-flight neighbor. That would require a lot more bandwidth at a much higher cost. Instead, the service turns the plane into a flying Wi-Fi hot spot for mobile devices. When a plane reaches 10,000 feet, three WiFi access points hidden in the cabin's ceiling are activated, so that most wireless devices with Flash browsers or Wi-Fi-enabled laptops can connect to Yahoo Messenger or Mail, which can also be used to send text messages to mobile phones.

...problem and would be one-tenth of the cost," Neeleman says. Full Web access would have been so expensive that the airline would have had to charge passengers to use it. "Nobody cares if it's not free," says Neeleman. "It's so irritating to go into a hot spot and have to pay." JetBlue and other airlines learned that lesson with seat-back phones. That service was discontinued because of lack of interest from passengers unwilling to pay several dollars for one in-flight phone call.

The glam-rock group has departed from the fluffy pop that characterized their debut, “Hot Fuss.” “Tranquilize,” the second single off their new compilation album “Sawdust,” assails the listener with disjointed melodies and varied vocals. It gets better with each listen and should eventually win over those who are disaffected by their newfound gloom. Set in an abandoned house, the video immediately fits the dark and disturbing...
...some serious stuff goes down. And I mean that literally—about 20 seconds into the trailer, something explodes across town, and the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty rolls down the street. It becomes sort of clear that this is some kind of monster movie, but hot damn, they tease us like teasing is going out of style. We don’t even get hints or silhouettes of the thing causing all the carnage. It’s just handheld shots from people who are as confused as we are, but in significantly more danger than...
