Sprint network outage leads to flight delays with Alaska Airlines

Fast payday loans For Every One

A network failure that leaves folks without information for a couple of hours is one thing, however some Sprint issues today are causing some larger problems than usual in one part of the US. Alaska Airlines is stating flight delays at numerous airports, consisting of Portland International Airport, as a result of the interruption that is says started at 7:30 AM Pacific time when a fiber cable television was cut in Wisconsin. The AP is further reporting that Alaska Airlines President and CEO Brad Tilden states the airline expects to have a full resolution by 5PM neighborhood time, and that it may have a partial solution by noon. The reports that we have actually received from Sprint individuals also recommend that the failure is greatly constrained to the Northwest.

I Could Watch This All Day (And Probably Will): LIVE Brown Bears Catching Salmon Cam From Alaska

live-bear-cams-1.jpg

This is the link to Explore.org’s LIVE ‘Brown Bear & Salmon Cam’ from Brook Falls in Alaska. I have actually been watching for virtually fifteen minutes now and I’ve already seen 2 effective sportfishing efforts. Plus a bird attempt to steal a fish from a bear. I thought the bear was gonna eat the too! ” Please, we’re civilized,” the bear resorted to the camera and said to me. “Jesus– exactly what the hell are you on, GW?” I dunno, but I’m liking it!

Note: My friend Terry stated he was having trouble loading the feed in Chrome, so I dunno, that may be a concern. Or he can merely be a spaz. I’m kidding, he’s most definitely a spaz, however Chrome might be a problem also.

Hit the jump for a couple more screencaps I took of the action.

The Engadget Show 34: LeVar Burton, weather balloons over Alaska, Northeastern University and ITP

This month’s program is all about understanding– but don’t worry, it’s a ton more enjoyable than it appears. We’ll be placing the “tainment” back in edutainment. However first, we’re kicking things off with a fast detour to Los Angeles to look at all of the explosive sights and sounds at E3 and heading over to the gadget tables to show off the Samsung Galaxy S III on AT&T, the brand-new MacBook Pro with Retina Display and the taking the new Parrot AR. Drone 2.0 for a spin around the studio.

Following up, Tim heads to Alaska to work with a group of specialists studying the northern lights with high-tech balloons and helmet cameras. We have actually also got class visits to Northeastern University, where students are creating technology for the betterment of humanity and NYU’s ITP school, where art and technology meet. ITP’s Danne Woo and Matt Richardson will definitely be showing of a few of the school’s projects, including the kinetically-powered Circuit Board, the Descriptive Camera and the condiment-extruding Burritob0t.

Then we’ll close things out with an interview from none besides LeVar Burton, who informs us about the rebirth of Reviewing Rainbow and just how Venture Glass and the iPad are making the actual world a bit more like Star Trek. Check into the complete episode after the break!

Alaska Airlines ditches paper flight manuals for iPads

The iPad has already gotten the go-ahead from the FAA as a replacement for paper flight charts and maps, and now Alaska Airlines has become the first major US airline to hop on board the paperless bandwagon. While it’s not quite ready to ditch paper navigation charts just yet (though that is under consideration), the airline has announced that it will be replacing its traditional flight manuals with iPads, which will be loaded up with the GoodReader app and PDFs of 41 different manuals and other materials. According to the airline, that change will result in savings of about 2.4 million pieces of paper, and it says the cost of the project will be offset by fuel savings from the reduced weight, and additional savings that are expected from “fewer back and muscle injuries caused by pilots carrying flight bags,” which can weigh up to 50 pounds. Let’s just hope those newly lightened flight bags still have room for a charging cable.

Alaska Airlines fires up in-flight WiFi between Anchorage and Fairbanks, promises more in 2011

It’s hard to say if Alaska Airlines’ relationship with Row44 has fizzled, but unlike that WiFi’d route between San Jose and Seattle, the aforesaid airline is relying on Aircell to provide in-flight WiFi on flights between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Reportedly, Gogo service is live today for customers flying between those two locales, with it being completely gratis until the remainder of Aircell’s network in the state of Alaska goes live over the next few months. Best of all, Aircell has promised to “expand its network to include Southeast Alaska by the end of the year,” ensuring that it’s not The Last Frontier in absolutely every possible way.
