American Airlines is the first U.S. air carrier to launch in-flight wifi service.  It will only be on longer-haul 767 flights, and will cost $12.95 per flight.  Other carriers are testing the service, and plan to launch it later this year.  Delta will offer it on shorter flights for $9.95, and longer flights for $12.95.

 

Police radios are killing trees in the Dallas area.  The city of Plano has a high tech radio-controlled spirnkler system in public areas like parks and road medians.  It stopped working properly a few months ago, causing vegetation to start turning brown and dying.  City leaders have just figure dout that the problem is a high-power police radio system some 30 miles away.  The police radios are on the same frequency as the sprinklers, causing the trouble.  No word yet on a solution to the problem.
