Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone 643

JamJam writes "Air Canada has been told to create a special 'buffer zone' on flights for people who are allergic to nuts. The Canadian Transportation Agency has ruled that passengers who have nut allergies should be considered disabled and accommodated by the airline. Air Canada has a month to come up with an appropriate section of seats where passengers with nut allergies would be seated. The ruling involved a complaint from Sophia Huyer, who has a severe nut allergy and travels frequently. Ms. Huyer once spent 40 minutes in the washroom during a flight while snacks were being served."

As I understand it, Firewire is just Apple's branded implementation of the open IEEE1394 standard. This is why everybody's DV cameras can be hooked up to computers (albeit with some variations in the physical connectors).
Actually, Firewire is an Apple invention which was submitted for approval as a standard. The fact that they let it be standardized and licensed to other vendors is why everybody's DV cameras can be hooked up so computers.
