Moller Flying Car - The Autovolantor!
Moller has been building flying cars for decades now based in Davis, California, the same town that I went to college. I remember hearing about my friends who “saw” a flying car in the field at least couple times a month before I found out about it blogging.
Anyways, Moller has a new type of flying car called the Autovolantor which can “fly” over traffic occasionally but it’s not designed for full flights.
I like this new hybrid model as I found it useful to “fly” over a bad traffic area sorta like that Shell commercial back in the day.

Loading ...Delta to Offer Full In-Flight WiFi!
Delta is finalizing their decision on offering full in-flight wi-fi for everyone on dometic flights by middle of next year. Go Delta! Now, I can travel and get some blogging done while flying. THAT is cool.
ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines Inc. said Tuesday that it would offer broadband wireless Internet access on its entire domestic mainline fleet by the middle of next year.
The airline said Wi-Fi service would be offered for a fee to customers traveling throughout the continental United States.
Delta is partnering with Aircell, an airborne communications provider, to install the network on Delta’s domestic fleet of more than 330 aircraft.
The system will allow Delta customers traveling with Wi-Fi enabled devices — like laptops, smartphones and hand-held devices — to access the Internet while in flight.
A flat fee of $9.95 will be charged on flights of three hours or less, and $12.95 on flights of more than three hours.

I first saw an article about Virgin’s Richard Branson on Wired magazine couple months ago. Virgin announced that it was launching a public service where people can experience zero-gravity.
Basically, Virgin is taking space travel into reality for normal people like you and me.
Anyways, I was SiteHoppin’ along for some random Entrecard tech blogs and found a blog post that now you can go make your reservations.
How much does it cost?
Flights require three days of training and cost 200k with a 20k deposit.
Wow, it sounds like a lot of fun, especially if you get to be weightless.
What do you get?
The Mother Ship known as Space Ship Two ( 2nd version of spaceship ) flies to an altitude of about 50,000 feet and disconnects a separate space ship. This rocket ship fires up and shoots into outer space at about 360,000 feet, for the ride of your life. Passengers will experience 3 to 4 g’s during the initial launch into space. The zero gravity environment is said to last about 5 minutes before its decent back to earth. The whole trip takes about 2 1/2 hours.
Although the whole trip only lasts about two and half hours, if you got money to burn, this might be better than most “earthy” experiences such as skydiving, snowboarding, etc…etc… If you are interested, go get a spot for your first space travel here.
