We must realize that this will not stop at iPods. Necessary adaptors will emerge, and people will be bringing their Wiis and XBox 360s onboard Boeing craft in no time.
But wait, it doesn't have to stop there. In order to impose any form of content control, the entire system of iPod-to-screens will need to be centrally wired. That means dozens of iPods, all on a central network. All you really have to do from then on is bring your laptop, an enormous external hard drive, and the right cables, and you're in business. The selection of movies and music will be nothing short of impressive.
And if you get bored with that... well... who says you can't hack a 747?
A large video game production company really would be good kudos for Canada; sadly, though, it would suck for the rest of us, as games such as "The Lone Constable" and "Mush! Dog Sled Racing: Yukon Drift" would flood the clearance bins at gamestops nationwide, making it insanely impossible to find that $4.99 Red Faction PS2 disk (or the like) buried far underneath it all.
Kind sir, I most definitely agree with you. PS3 seems like it's set up for a heavy drop down into the shitter. As always, there will be loyal fans of the platform who will buy it out of devotion, screaming and bawling kids who just think it looks cool and will practically tear their parents' hair out to get it, and those who just seem to have too much money and want to "try it out." Such will be the market for this new system. Regretfully, the PS3 seems to be taking the same path downhill that the Dreamcast laid out years ago. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best, like a severe drop in the system's price:P
WTF?!?! I seriously did not need to hear about how girls piss standing up. And now that I have, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT. Man will always be superior in his ability to piss standing up (and sometimes even on the run). But seriously, that was way too much info.

Truly an excellent exploitation of an unrefined online environment. Keep it up guys.

If a Bill becomes president anytime soon, it'll definitely be Clinton... not Gates.
