Airline Intercom Announcements #20
A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax...OH MY GOD!"

Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled it in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"

A passenger in Coach yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"

I want these glasses. Not soon, right NOW. Please! I have been imagining something like this for the past two years. Imagine never worrying about having enough space for opening your laptop on the airplane tray table. The PC will be in your pocket (or overhead bin), the monitor, webcam and earphones in your glasses and your peripherals nearby. You won't have to lug around all the extra equipment. ...Here's the rest of the family of products co-developed by Motorola and frog design. I've never been able to justify being "bleeding edge", but once these become available, I'll be at the front of the line.
