Happy happy joy joy, indeed!

An airplane trip is perhaps the last refuge of reasonable quiet: if people have a genuine need to use a phone on an airplane, then they can probably afford to use the airphones. I've been very depressed when they started talking about making it possible for you to use your cell phone on them. I would have no problem not using my laptop on an airplane, I always have one or two books with me when I travel.


And if you're a glutton for punishment, here's the Slashdot thread: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/01/147231

EDIT: interesting. I started reading the Slashdot thread, and people started talking about certain models and technologies of cell phones causing interference in such a way that they know two seconds ahead of time if their cell phone is about to ring, it'll cause noise in speakers or interfere with tvs.

Hooray :) The idea was depressing me, too.
