Submission + - You aren't allowed off this plane

logoszoe writes: Airlines are not required to let you off the plane, even if it has been sitting on the runway for hours.

Whatever happened to someone deciding it was time to leave, and just getting off the plane? Obviously, if it's in the air, that is not an option. But on the ground, come on!

It seems that those in the airline industry have forgotten that they are paid to transport people. Consideration is only given for the almighty dollar, not customer satisfaction.

Submission + - Why Digg Failed (or may)

beakerMeep writes: David Marcus, a user on Kuro5hin, recently put together an excellent piece on the perils and faults behind the workings of Digg.com. From the article: 'As I write, the top story on Digg is "Transparency in Social News", a newspaper-as-blog item that the Digg community have used as a little self-congratulatory pat on the back. I understand why Digg's users feel like they deserve to toast themselves now and then — after all, they've made the place one of the Web's Top 100 sites, and they've made Digg, Inc. upwards of $200 million.' Incidentally, as I submit this story to Slashdot, Digg has appears to have removed the story from the list of upcoming stories.
