I suspect people who actually think like this are the reason GA gets a bad reputation.

Isn't this sort of mitigated when people put Google Analytics at the bottom of the page? I've never noticed any slowdowns waiting on GA on any of my sites, and I have GA scripts at the bottom of every page. The absolute bottom.

To use the show Breaking Bad as an analogy, it's Walter White vs. Jesse Pinkman. Who would you want making your drugs?

1500 PHP (A$40)

Their currency is PHP? That's awesome.

I thought it was 17 years? Wikipedia to the rescue...

Sounds overbearing, but how many people (myself included) have thought "Damn, wish I had patented that 10-15 years before it hit the market"?

You're trying to claim that a person with music blasting in their ears can listen to a flight attendant more accurately and attentively than a person without music blasting in their ears?

Sounds like you're trying to pick an argument. It's a little early for that, and I'm not interested.

Not all commercial aviation accidents rule out the possibility of survival.

Really? Doesn't having music pumped into your ears kind of interfere with hearing audible safety instructions? Reading does not.

Actually, in a roundabout way, it does have to do with safety.

Takeoff and landing are the times in flight most likely to result in an accident. If things do suddenly head sideways, people distracted by laptops and iPods are much less likely to react accordingly and survive.

Most people in the aviation business know this is the real reason.

The review was ok, but the customer images really summed things up nicely.

Wow, was unaware of that. Definitely going to have to reconsider.

You are kidding, right? This is a joke?

I'm assuming you meant because of my use of the word "telco". AT&T, Verizon, Comcast(xfinity), and all the other major broadband providers are definitely "telecommunications providers". They provide telephone service, as well as internet and cable.

Seriously, if that wasn't meant as a joke, you should be embarrassed.

Do you know anything about the blackout features? I live in Chicago and am a Blackhawks fan, but I am planning a move to just north of Denver sometime in the future. Although I would be getting it mainly for Hawks games, but watching the occasional Avalanche game would be nice too, if it's not restricted.

I am sure the various telcos are acutely aware of this trend, and have plans in place to cover their bottom line. When subscription numbers drop drastically, be on the lookout for internet connectivity prices to skyrocket. I sincerely doubt they'll go quietly into the night as half their business fades away while the other half makes the same money as before. Remember, they have the monopoly, they can do it.
