Trust me, I keep that thing closed most of the time. ;)</p>
<p>Also remember that I was on an airplane with around 200 other people. If it worked fine on your flight, you may not have had 200 people with computers logging into the free Internet they already knew they were getting.</p>Mitch Wagner commented on 'Logging Into Second Life From a Plane -- Metaverse at 30,000 Feet!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0148c72e051a970c2010-12-30T20:06:59Z2010-12-30T20:06:59ZMitch Wagnerhttp://twitter.com/MitchWagnerRegarding streaming on planes: I've never tried logging in to SL from a plane, but I did watch an entire...<p>Regarding streaming on planes: I've never tried logging in to SL from a plane, but I did watch an entire streaming movie on NetFlix. It only stuttered once or twice, for a second each time, no problem at all. </p>Laetizia Coronet commented on 'Logging Into Second Life From a Plane -- Metaverse at 30,000 Feet!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0148c72d5346970c2010-12-30T17:49:52Z2010-12-30T17:49:52ZLaetizia Coronethttp://twitter.com/LCoronetI would rez my Cessna and fly around, just because that is weirdness to the extreme.

<p>And while quantum computing sounds like some really weird science-fiction mojo, the first working quantum chips have already been made and quantum entanglement has been demonstrated over 16km.</p>
<p>That's a long way from being on store shelves, but if quantum mechanics has taught us nothing else, it's that "a long way" may be much closer than anybody expects.</p>Laetizia Coronet commented on 'Logging Into Second Life From a Plane -- Metaverse at 30,000 Feet!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0148c7281c71970c2010-12-29T22:14:36Z2010-12-29T22:14:36ZLaetizia Coronethttp://twitter.com/LCoronetSee that >> Jack?
