Hey, what can I say, VirginAtlanticAmerica has inflight WiFi, I hadda try it out, even if it costs freaking US$13 per flight. Well, it’s new, and us early adopters have to pay for all the r&d I guess.

Web sites are coming up fast. Web speed tests are giving unreliable results because they are trying to guess my physical location – speedtest.net thinks I’m in Dallas and gave my download speed at 0.7Mbps. Over on pingtest.net, they also think I’m in Dallas and a ping to AT&T Worldnet in Houston is 202ms, giving me a rating of “D” – “most online applications will not perform well but should function in some capacity.”

Meanwhile, Virgin Atlantic’sAmerica’s vaunted seatback entertainment system, Red, has touch screens. What a fucking bad idea. Why? Because the neanderthal sitting behind me doesn’t get the concept of a touch screen, he thinks it’s a poke screen or a jab screen or something. This could end up being a long flight.
