Skype Eavesdropping

They can because when armed G-men show up at your door claiming they need to gather information on a subversive, you lead them to the listening room and gently motion to the sign. The sign says, "Save the planet by turning off the lights when you are finished." That's when the one that is the size of a football center with a full helmet and blacked visor grunts and says, "You pitiful, ignorant, peasant. I've been saving the planet for 20 years and I've turned off a lot of lights but never with a switch."

GoGo = NoGo

They may be increasing speeds but I'm betting the end user won't see much change. The service as it is now is terrible and _way_ over-priced for what you end up getting. It's about $12/use and the speeds are terrible. I'd say it would be worth $5 (I think what Southwest is/will charge) and I think this would probably increase their revenue as more people would use it.

Logging onto the service from the plane gives an additional plan for smartphone use. I think it's around $8. That is a much better price.
