Without question, one of the greatest new technologies the world has to offer is in-flight Wi-Fi. There’s hardly anything more liberating than knowing your six hour haul from NYC to SF will be eased with Wi-Fi access — though an AC outlet would surely be nice. At any rate, research company In-Stat has issued a new report suggesting that nearly 800 airplanes will feature in-flight Wi-Fi by the end of 2009, and that the business will generate some $47 million in revenue worldwide.In reality, 800 doesn’t sound

Nice going, Intel. No really — you’ve started our morning with quite the laugh. Just hours after we heard that AMD was refocusing its efforts in the microprocessor space, in flies media from Intel showing that it’s not about to leave the limelight to the folks at Advanced Micro Device for even a millisecond.The chip maker has decided to retool its image just a bit by launching a massive (and surely expensive) marketing campaign dubbed ‘Sponsors Of Tomorrow.’ In fact, it’s Intel’s largest marketing campaign
