iPod Seat-Back Video Coming To Flights

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the world's-biggest-iPod-accessory dept.

cameronk writes, "Apple announced partnership agreements with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM, and United that will let you display video from your iPod on the screen of the seat in front of you. Plus, the connectors charge iPods throughout the flight. This will be great for inter-continental flights where even my iPod Nano runs out of juice. I wonder how the airlines are going to keep inappropriate video (i.e. porn or even just movies like "Snakes on a Plane" or "Alive") from appearing on the seat-back displays."

    I have a kid. He was 4 the first time he flew on a plane. Didn't cry once. Didn't kick the seat in front of him, yell, or even talk loudly. He may have giggled once though. He colored or looked out the window the entire flight. So I'm having trouble with why you think my kid should not be allowed on the same plane with you. You feel the same way about Jews maybe? Or maybe you want an "all male" airline? I acknowledge that some kids cry on planes. That's largely unavoidable; kids cry in restaurants too. I suppose you never went to a restaurant until you were 10 years old either.

    You need to grow up and recognize there are other people in the world and stop being so intolerant of people who aren't quite as perfect as you.
