Chuck-You are correct. Not sure who you are talking about but, IMO there are those that don't ever understand anything. Such a shame. Also, there are those with other agendas that don't try to understand anything, like reading and studying things like those who really care about it do. It seems like they would better serve themselves and their families by going out and getting a real job instead of wasting their time. Also, for some strange reason, there are some who think that anyone cares anything about what they think or what they have to say. Such a shame. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Good luck Milplease.

Hot Topic: WAEA 2003 Wrap-up
Another WAEA Conference has come and gone. While attendance was expectedly off, there was no drop off in new and re-invented IFE products and services. In fact, we think it was a banner year for innovation and new products. We plan to put a big show story on the AIRFAX website as soon as we sift thru the mountain of data and interviews. Stay Tuned! Until then, we plan to get our show photos online and we have a few sneak peeks and exclusives that will appear in the Hot Topic as the year goes on. Here are a few teasers that you may find interesting in the months to come; a story on YES, General Dynamics new portable IFE system, A full report on the IMS/Formation hardware/service offering, TEACs complete entry into digital head-end offerings, a re-invented BOSE noise canceling headset, the incredible Inflight Canada IFE equipment developments, the airline rush to digEplayer the portable VOD system, and many more.
Without question, airline deals will have to be restructured because of the bleeding airline conditions. UAL Chief, Glen Tilton outlined the need and he was dead center. Airline deals and requests we heard about echoed his words and then some. Airlines today want higher value, revenue sharing opportunities, and products and services that provide lower costs, increased revenue, and more opportunity to get close to their customers. No, its more like a need. In the US, we will be seeing increased competition from many of the low budget carriers but because they fly (in many cases) two hours or more, IFE is being installed and we predict, airlines who pooh-poohed IFE in the past, will find a way to include it in their service offering next year. Think single aisle! The heavy iron systems are also undergoing a shrinking profile and technology infusion to increase bandwidth and reduce consumption, while connectivity still remains fuzzy and in-work. There appears to be a general initiative to bring and use personal cell phones on the aircraft while other satellite solutions were offered, some still in breadboard form. And finally, a word or two about those who toiled to put on the conference thank you!
Show Statistics: 256 airline delegates from 69 airlines; 1216 vendors from 178 vendor companies + 25 walk-ins.

TASTE
Alaska Air Stays Close to Home
For New Entertainment System
By SUSAN CAREY
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
In-flight entertainment systems can make seemingly interminable plane rides more bearable. But the new on-demand audiovisual systems -- which allow passengers to select what they want to watch when they want to watch it -- can be prohibitively expensive to install for many airlines.
Alaska Airlines on Tuesday is expected to roll out a more-affordable product invented by one of its own employees. The system, called digEplayer, is produced by a start-up company headed by Bill Boyer, a 16-year Alaska baggage handler. His company, APS Inc., will put digEplayers on some transcontinental Alaska flights next month.
Alaska plans to distribute the units free in first class, and make another 30 or so available for rent in coach for $8 to $10 depending on whether they are reserved in advance. Seattle-based Alaska, a unit of Alaska Air Group Inc., doesn't carry any video-screening equipment on its jets. Since the carrier began operating longer flights to the East Coast a few years ago, however, it has made available to some of its first-class customers portable DVD players and movies free of charge.
WHERE TO?
1
Read more about trips and treks on our travel page2.
Dave Palmer, managing director of marketing for the nation's ninth-largest airline, says the portable DVD players are fine but it is difficult for flight attendants and others to keep track of the devices and the movie discs. Alaska considered installing an inflight system carrying DirecTV, popularized on board by JetBlue Airways. But satellite TV doesn't work over the ocean or in foreign airspace, making it ill-suited for Alaska's route network. Retrofitting its planes to carry on-demand video systems would cost $500,000 a plane, not counting $80,000 a year per plane in added fuel expense because of the weight, Mr. Palmer says.
Enter Mr. Boyer, an inveterate tinkerer who already had invented a safety device for luggage belt loaders that Alaska uses to minimize accidents on the tarmac. Mr. Boyer, 38 years old, had an idea for a portable device with an internal battery that could be securely preprogrammed with movies, music and games. After he got some encouragement from Mr. Palmer, Mr. Boyer started calling on movie studios with his plan for the $1,000 digEplayer, which encrypts digital images in such a way that a hacker would have a hard time copying the films. It can hold as many as 30.
The gizmo has safeguards against theft. The player has a proprietary battery with a seven-hour life; without a replacement, the device is worthless. The machine also requires a swipe of the user's credit card. If the passenger makes off with the player, he or she would be billed for the cost of the machine.
News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox has agreed to provide first-run flicks, classic movies and TV programming to APS, based in Tacoma, Wash. Mr. Boyer, who is on leave from the airline, says he is working on signing up other studios and already has lined up a provider of audio programming.

Recording Industry News
http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/09/08/music.downloading/index.html
(CNN) -- The recording industry filed 261 lawsuits against individual Internet music file sharers Monday and announced an amnesty program for people who admit they illegally share music files across the Internet.
The federal lawsuits and amnesty program are the lastest moves by the Recording Industry Association of America in its fight against illegal trading of music files on the Internet, which record companies blame for declining sales.
Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA, said the civil lawsuits filed were against ''major offenders'' who made available an average of 1,000 copyrighted song files.
Sherman also announced the Clean Slate Program that grants amnesty to users who voluntarily identify themselves and promise not to share music on the Internet. The RIAA says it will not sue users who sign and have notarized a Clean Slate Program affidavit.
''We're willing to hold out our version of an olive branch,'' Sherman said.
The offer of amnesty will not apply to about 1,600 people targeted by copyright subpoenas from the RIAA. More information about RIAA's amnesty program is available at www.musicunited.org.

BD-From Sinacull.
Just got back from Street Scene Day 2. Warning, caution, disclaimer. The report I am about to convey is not official in any way. I would not ''put stock in it'' that being said I got this info from someone who was working at the edig booth who thought edig was trading at $2.00 Now you know where I am coming from. Expect a 1.8'' hard drive Odyssey manufactured by Gateway (maybe other OEMs) within two months using the Toshiba hard drive. (makes sense to me) Look for Alaskan Air and the number 4 other major airlines rings a bell to me using our IFE system. I actually flew Alaskan Air a couple of months ago and it was a good flight. They did offer a rentable dvd player but I wasn't interested b/c I had enough gadgets to check through the screener. No plans of making a small odyssey 1000 size divx player. Screen is too small. Who wants to watch a movie on that size screen? Usher in retail digeplayer. (makes sense to me) A lot of anomosity expressed to edig from ex and present shareholders from their losses in the last number of years. This was stated by both yesterdays rep and todays. This is obvious. I forgot to ask about eclipse sorry. Most things said did make sense but I and we can only hope that it will make cents to us. FWIW. The booth did look better today. They had a tent around it and it did look much more presentable. Also note that the booth is located diagonally across from the Ford stage infront of all the port-a-potties, meaning pretty much everyone who has to go to the bathroom from the Ford Venue has to walk by or stand by waiting to go to the bathroom by the e.Digital booth. IMO a very clever placement for the e.Digital booth. Right across the way from the edig booth was a Ford booth raffling off an Apple iPod. FWIW There wasn't any more interest in that booth than the edig booth while I was there. They weren't selling the Odyssey 1000 directly at the booth. They were offering free shipping for anyone who put their name in at Street Scene. I guess this answers my question on how they would be able to sell recordable devices at Street Scene. The big exposure will come today Sunday when REM plays on the Ford stage. ''To Be or Not to be''....''to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune''...''to sleep, purchance to dream'' ''Goodnite, goodnite parting is such sweet sorrow. Goodnite, goodnite be it 'til morrow.''
Hey BD-What are you up to in San Diego?
Murgirl-
These movies will look real good when viewed on the digeplayer. Thanks for the post.
LOLOLOLOL
Gern-Maybe they nabbed the prime space right beside Hewlett-Packard-interesting.
