iPod Seat-Back Video Coming To Flights 255
cameronk writes, "Apple announced partnership agreements with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM, and United that will let you display video from your iPod on the screen of the seat in front of you. Plus, the connectors charge iPods throughout the flight. This will be great for inter-continental flights where even my iPod Nano runs out of juice. I wonder how the airlines are going to keep inappropriate video (i.e. porn or even just movies like "Snakes on a Plane" or "Alive") from appearing on the seat-back displays."

The latin phrase for "eg" is "exempli gratia", or, in English, "gratuitous example", which is to say, an example which helps explain the intent of the sentence.
The latin phrase for "ie" is "id est", or, in English, literally "that is", which means you are restating the thing to make the intent clear.
I don't really blame the poster, who might not care about this distinction, a common mistake amongst Americans, but the Slashdot editors sure as hell should care, being that they are paid to provide that service. That's an old complaint, though, and it's fairly clear the editors don't care either.

But the first A380 will be for Signapore, which is not one of Apple's 6 launch customers. The first A380 going to an iPod-integration airline will be Emirates, which gets its first A380 in 2008, followed by Air France, in 2009. None of the other 4 Apple partners are A380 customers.
To compare, *all 6* of Apple's launch customers are 747 customers, and several of them have been for decades.
So no, he's not forgetting Airbus. This won't be on an A380 for a while.
