it seems highly unlikely that PCs, tablets, phones really interfere with the airplane's communication and control system, otherwise you would hear in news of accidents due to this. however, if you have any respect for your own life, those of your family, and those flying with you, why don't you just turn all your stuff off when requested? is it such a big deal? are you too cool to comply?

these chicks (ei-kei-bi-fori-ei) are the greatest trouble-shooters of our times. just hire them for some pictures and your business flourishes and all your financial woes are solved. maybe the finance ministry should take a hint, might improve japan's economy better than any current plan...

the kindle fire hd's are crippled android tablets. theoretically, you can only get apps from amazon. and you need a credit card even for free apps! this is a variant on greed, at the same level as apple's. but you can side-load anything you want and kiss amazon's greed goodbye if you wan: just do a search on "sideload kindle fire hd" and you're all set.

we are living in the matrix and nobody knows it, we are nothing more than running programs, which is good enough for me! now ask me who programmed the matrix, and the answer is it was self-organized, just like our theory of how life on earth started

android gets more attacks not because it's worse than apple-crap. android gets more attacked because it's the future. the apple model is dead, all that super-control, one of the worst profiteering big-brothers if ever there was one. but thanks apple, without you, there would be no android.

one would have thought that some good, future-inspiring ideas would come out of such a meeting; instead, the only brilliant idea some come up with is equivalent to "turn off the internet". modern humans communicate with words: spoken (cell phone) and written (email).

this is modern democracy, where it is legal to sign a contract of your own free will to be a modern slave, where among a bunch of other things your sex life belongs to your slave master. BTW, shouldn't the constitution or something forbid these loopholes in law to protect people against such barbaric modern slavery practices?

darknuts, in reply to your good question:
the only way the chinese gov can justify censorship is with fear and terror: (1) if you're caught consuming non-approved info, you loose everything; (2) "we the chinese gov knows what's good for you and we shall protect you from unclean thoughts that will rot your poor poor brain etc etc"

sex sells, that's it, throughout all ages and cross-culturally. i'll never spend a single yen on anything ei-kei-bi, but one must admit they are sometimes nice to look at.

maybe tv's have been doing this for some time now? all new tech ideas (soft and hard-ware) are great, but at least we should always be able to choose if we want or not to be "voyeured". some like it, and some don't.
