    ...to Vegas. Currently somewhere over Oregon. I'm on my second bloody mary and waiting for breakfast to be served.

    Since there is no Android app to be found that includes group IM chat, I'll just wave hello to my hatters here. :p

    Inflight wifi FTW

    I tried on one of my AA flights that had signs throughout the plane, and not a Wi-fi signal to be found.

    Just don't crash the plane by hacking into the flight computer.

    Yeah, the x-country ones are supposed to have it. On aa.com though they have an app which you can plug in your flight # a day ahead of time to determine if your flight will be GoGo-enabled.

    C4.5 proved that. :D

    And I just heard one of the most beautiful sentences in the English language... "ladies and gentleman, we've begun our initial decent into Las Vegas." :D

    I browsed in flight and sent a couple e-mails on my flight back in June, and it was a surreal experience. The idea of being online when you're 30,000 feet up was entirely new.

    I first saw an advertisement for in-flight internet access in maybe 2005? It allowed you access to just email and messenger services. It was on a flight to Puerto Rico. And I was like "whaaaaat?" But now with wifi on all kinds of buses and things I think we're way behind on in-flight wifi, and it's way too expensive when it is available. I only ever get it on short flights, like Austin-Dallas, which is pointless because you barely have enough time to turn on your computer before you have to turn it back of again.

    I didn't have to pay anything for mine, because it was one of those free trial deals, but it would have been $15 for about a four hour flight.

    I'm back up in the air, heading home (booo...urns!).

    My liver is currently not speaking to me, and first class beverage service isn't going to help matters. :p
