United Airlines Approved for In-Flight Internet Service

The New York Times > Technology > United Airlines Approved for In-Flight Internet Service - hmmm remember the last time you had to turn off your network card to use your computer inflight? Well you don't have to anymore. Somehow, I think this is a little evil - more time to waste on the computer, less of a forcing function to get things done... for me. Then again, most people don't need forcing functions. yay for wireless I guess? Less talking to strangers that way... hmmm.
