I flew to Hong Kong on the Cathay Pacific flight I booked several months earlier on a 747-400 with new seats that were introduced last month, which included individual entertainment screens (no charge) that had plenty of options to keep you preoccupied including video games and seats that reclined in its own shell, plus a [...]

I flew on Cathay Pacific with their new seats and noticed that the user interface for the entertainment screens weren’t as intuitive as I thought it would be. It took some confusion to figure out why it wasn’t behaving as expected. While the remote was docked, I expected the arrows to work as [...]

Joining the evil forces of the RIAA and MPAA , Hasbro has sued the makers of Scrabulous convincing them to pull their app from Facebook by legal bullying. … In the meantime, according to gawker.com , it seems that you can still play it at their website … not sure how long that will last before Hasbro squeezes them there, too.
