New account of Flight 447 disaster published

what the hell are you guys saying?

how many people who posted very poor assumptions here are actual airline pilots? (atpl with a jet rating, at least 2000 hours flying time..) we are required to do a "recurrent" training at least every six months inside a simulator to train for these scenarios (airspeed unreliable/recovery from a stall, etc). but I tell you, no matter how good you are at flying, simulated or actual, nothing can really prepare you for the real thing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. bottomline is, ask any airline pilot and if that pilot says "that won't ever happen to me" then he has no respect for the situation and he has no idea of the dangers.

Kindle Fire: An open letter to Jeff Bezos

IT'S. A, KINDLE.

it's a 200 dollar, touch-screen, colored, e-book reader with additional features --these promises WERE delivered, so i don't really understand all the disappointment. it's doing what it was advertised to do, so i don't really see any cause for complaints, an appeal should've been made instead. but then hey, it's a kindle and it always will be.
