Ryanair head wants to add porn to in-flight entertainment options
The head of Ryanair wants to add some X-rated options to in-flight entertainment.
Michael O'Leary told British tabloid the Sun that he hopes to offer a pay-per-view porn service similar to those offered in hotel rooms through a new Ryanair app on smartphones.
He promised the racy app would be discrete, but he did not address if there would be guidelines for passengers sitting near children - or any passenger, for that matter, creeped out by a seatmate watching porn.
"I'm not talking about having it on screens on the back of seats for everyone to see," he told the paper. "It would be on handheld devices."
A spokesman quickly told the paper that nothing was decided yet.
The announcement came as the Irish airline's share price increased by 5% and it upgraded its full-year profit by 10%, the Irish Times reported.
The airline also reported a 12% increase in passenger traffic in the last six months.
Despite his recent success, O'Leary's been known to make strange proposals in attempts to boost profits. Last month he said he wanted to remove all but one toilet from the planes to fit in extra seats, the Daily Mail reported.
We've seen nano-origami and robo-origami, but nothing quite as rapid and simple as this. Researchers at North Carolina State University have figured out how to neatly fold plastic using infrared light and an inkjet printer. Deep black lines are printed onto the plastic sheets, which then absorb the light and cause the material to fold without anyone having to touch it. The wider the line, the greater the angle of each fold, so it's possible to set, say, a 90-degree bend for a cube or 120 degrees for a pyramid. What's more, by giving the lines different patterns, folds can be made to work in specific directions, potentially producing the most perfect, most hygienic bento box that's ever contained your lunch.

Hehe. Pretty amazing stuff though to be honest.
It's a great time we a re living in. The dawning age of technology. Guess there will come a time when humans won't know how to fold things themselves. _________________
