Laptops passing in the Night
I sat oppposite a woman on the train tonight who had a MacBook. Since I had my MacBook Pro we struck up a conversation. There aren't many laptops other you could own that are worthy of starting a conversation with a complete stranger.
My brother pointed out that many combined PDA/phone/MP3 players have a safe mode which switches off the transmitter and renders them unlikely to crash an aeroplane. This is a great idea in theory except that some airlines don't trust you to switch off the phone part and still ban such devices altogether.
