In-flight internet

WiFi at 30,000 Feet. Boeing to test WiFi internet access on Luftansa flights. SAP execs throughout the world rejoice.

Wow, at $20 for a 3-6 hour flight and $30 for 6+ hour flights they're going to see huge adoption. I'd think about using it tomorrow on the way home.

Censorship in China

Wearing black in protest. China bans all Typepad sites - a significant and growing source of independent news and thought - from the country.

This brings up one issue about outsourcing that has mostly been neglected. Never mind the lost jobs and economic transition - imagine if the U.S. or the WTO were to require respect for basic human rights from any country wishing to trade with us. And I consider open access to information a basic human right.
