It won’t be enough to cancel out the Engadget editor using in-flight WiFi to upload photo galleries (sorry, guys), but it should make web surfing from coach a little less tedious. United has just announced that it will be upgrading its Gogo in-air WiFi service to take advantage of Gogo’s enhanced ATG-4 service, which promises to bump speeds from the current 3.1 Mbps to 9.8 Mbps using directional antennae, dual modems and EV-DO Rev. B. Before you get too excited, though, keep in mind that United has so far only committed to retrofitting its premium service fleet, which includes 13 planes that fly between New York’s JFK and either LAX or SFO.

Best answer:
Answer by jsheph02Cant you just try to use it and if it doesn’t work buy one?
But probably not, Microsoft wants to make as much money as possible so making someone buy Kinect and a mic is better for them rather than bundling them

Pardon us Americans as we act surprised, but it turns out that we have one more thing in common with our Euro brethren: a growing number of us dislike shopping in stores. According to Kelkoo estimates, online spending in the European Union is projected to continue its upward trend, which is said to reach somewhere in the neighborhood of $ 232 billion before year’s end. If the estimate holds, this would be a 16 percent increase over the $ 200 billion raked by e-tailers during 2011, and is naturally assumed to come at the expense of traditional brick and mortar outfits, whose growth is projected to increase by a mere 1.8 percent.
The data gathered also suggest there’s significant room for expansion, however, as online spending accounted for just 7.8 percent of all EU retail sales in 2011, with the UK, Germany and France being responsible for a whopping 71 percent of that tally. The 16 percent projected growth is a slight decline from 2011, which saw EU online spending grow by 18 percent — although, Europe’s habit for click-and-ship continues to outpace the US, which grew by only 12.8 percent in 2011. Now, since you’ve crammed all these numbers, why not check the funny pages?

Bill Gates arrives at court
Microsoft’s Novell WordPerfect trial ended as a mistrial on Friday after jurors failed to reach a verdict.
Microsoft attempted to get the billion-dollar antitrust case, filed by Novell, dismissed by a federal court in Salt Lake City last month. The software giant was unsuccessful and Chairman Bill Gates took the witness stand in November to defend Microsoft. The trial centers on allegations that Microsoft cut its support for Novell’s Windows 95 compatible WordPerfect program.
Gates described how Microsoft worked “super hard” on Windows 95 at the time.”It was the most challenging, trying project we had ever done,” he said at the trial. Gates said Novell were unable to deliver a Windows 95 version of its WordPerfect program in time. Gates also argued that Microsoft Word was a better product and that by 1994 it was ranked number one in the market above WordPerfect.
Bloomberg reported on Friday that the 12 jurors failed to reach a verdict after trying for three days. Some jurors were reportedly in tears as U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz dismissed them. Microsoft issued the following statement:
“We are disappointed that the jury was unable to reach a verdict. However, we very much appreciate their service throughout the trial, and we remain confident that Novell’s claims here do not have merit, and look forward to the next steps in the process”
Novell was seeking $ 1.2 billion in composition for what it deems are losses. Microsoft rejected the claims and asked a judge to dismiss the entire case. Microsoft says that the company decided against installing WordPerfect as it was unstable and couldn’t be fixed in time for the Windows 95 release. “Novell never complained to Microsoft,” Microsoft lawyer David Tulchin said in an interview in November. “There’s nothing in the evidence, no documents.”
Microsoft’s recently moved to acquire Novell’s old patents in part of a group known as CPTN. Microsoft’s co-owned CPTN Holdings LLC was setup back in 2006 when the two companies signed a patent deal, designed to focus on virtualization, asset management and document formats. Novell agreed to add Microsoft Office’s Open XML format to the Open Office suite, available on the SUSE distribution. Novell also agreed to pay Microsoft a percentage of revenue from its open-source products.

Southwest Airlines passengers now have something better to do on their cross-country jaunts than grip the armrests and pray that the kid behind ‘em stops kicking the seat. Row 44 has partnered with Disney, Warner Brothers, Universal and Fox to create an on-demand streaming service for folks who bring their WiFi-enabled devices onboard. You’ll get a variety of archive content to watch as you cruise the friendly skies, including shows like Friends, Glee and The Office as well as big-ticket movies like Harry Potter, Avatar and Inception. The service also offers streaming IPTV, with CNBC, Fox News and NBC Sports on tap initially. Row 44′s market share is paltry compared to Gogo — which has the business of every WiFi-lovin’ airline in America outside of Southwest — but it’s certainly interesting news in light of the latter’s own video endeavors. Mum’s the word on pricing, but we’re told that the new material can be accessed “later this year.”
