Virgin America's Got Tech Chops -- Take a Look
Riding in airplanes is sooo boring. They make you sit down at the worst times, eat gnarly snacks, and watch bad sitcoms for however many hours it takes. Painful.
Virgin America is trying to make things better, though. The airline is on the verge of launching in-flight wireless Internet! Now you can sit around between New York and LA doing what you'd be doing anyway (in this case, reading Gawker and streaming episodes of 'The Hills' until we feel nauseous).
Charles Ogilvie, head of in-flight entertainment and general stand-up guy at VA, gave our bros at Boing Boing t.v. a behind-the-scenes tour of the airline's technological underthangs. (BBtv is featured on the airline's in-flight program, btw. No 'Everybody Loves Raymond' for you!)
You can watch Boing Boing's video tour (see above) of a pretty swanky Virgin plane and cockpit, starring Chuck O. himself and Xeni Jardin from Boing Boing. We admit, the setup does look pretty cool, but Xeni kinda freaks us out. [Source: Boing Boing]

Laptop & LCD TV Reviews:
Warning for people thinking about buying a LCD TV or Laptop: The worst laptop in the market today is Averatec. I purchased a 12.1" laptop and could not get the customer service to even respond and when they responded they said I should find a local laptop repair shop to help me at my own expense. I paid a lot of money for this laptop and has taken it in for repairs 4 times and finally dumped it. This is the most terrible manufacturer one can ever encounter. I bought it based on a recommendation by PC Magazine, so be careful when you read these recommendations. Walmart and a lot of other stores have stopped carrying this brand. For those considering LDC HDTV, forget about Olevia/Syntax brand. The product is terrible and the customer service is the definition of "chaos". I paid $1500.00 for the tv, but have lost sound/audio and pictures/video a couple of times in just a couple of years. They don't have authorized dealers, so you either have to ship it to them for repairs at your own expense or hope to find a handy person locally to fix it for you.
