Dear Alec Baldwin: Was that game REALLY that important? If
your escape to the bathroom and slamming the door is actually true
- this strongly resembles a temper tantrum from a 2-year-old. The
next time you are about to take flight and are reluctant to turn
off your device, call to mind John F Kennedy Jr, his wife, Carolyn
and her sister, Lauren Bessette. A phone call was made from
Carolyn's mobile phone right before their plane went down. This may
have contributed to the instruments in the plane giving false
readings and allowing incorrect radio frequencies. We may never
know for sure, butwas that game REALLY that important?

I don't think any air traveler likes nor understands the
arbitrary, bizarre and clearly outdated FAA rules regarding
electronic devices. Nevertheless, like it or not, the rules are the
rules and we agree to them whenever we step on an airline....read
the terms of your ticket, it's all on there. Here's what I have to
say about Baldwin: He's a hot head and regardless of what an
obnoxious flight attendant may or may not have said to him, it does
not justify his concomitant abuse of her, nor does it justify
delaying the flight and subjecting other passengers to his tirades.
Finally, his publicist is an idiot: tweeting "how come ok..." (sic)
I mean really? That's not even a sentence. Finally, his publicist
misuses the word hypocrisy. Baldwin needs to work on his temper and
get a new publicist. Someone who is fluent in English, articulate
and has a dictionary. Terry

Beyond Down Comforter Named Best Buy By Consumers Digest

twitter messages? You made a mistake in a moment and are now adding

adding more inconvenience to other passengers with undue delays

Alec Baldwin displays the classic example of narcissistic
jerk! For him to think that he is in the right, and blasting
American Airlines for following Federal Safety guidelines is
absurd. The job of a flight attendant is to ensure that ALL
passengers adhere to these guidelines. If he has a problem with
this rule, he should direct his frustrations to the FAA, not the
poor flight attendant that is essentially "the messenger." Also, to
know that other celebrities and news outlets are taking his side is
so frustrating!

concerned, walking past her several times, even when I asked
someone to help her turn it off. Either it matters or it doesn't.

the elderly former parochial schoolgirls was holding in her hands I
was told "there's a very sick person in the back and if I give you
one I'll have to give one to everybody... WTF? Return flight DFW to
KC a guy was playing his game while we were held up about 40
minutes after the announcement to turn devices off...all the way
till the plane lifted off and he turned it off for maybe 20 seconds
and back on again. Row 7 aisle, so not like he was hiding. Alec has
this one right. AA attendants suck

NEW Introduces Innovative Options for Extended Service Plans at CES
N.E.W. Customer Service Companies (NEW), the leading global
provider of extended service plans and product protection, today
announced new service offerings that elevate the concept of a
traditional service plan, providing consumers with additional
features that give them the option to add value to their purchases
from the day they buy their product and bring benefits beyond
product protection. With the interconnected world we live in today,
the needs of the customer are constantly changing. We recognize
this and, through our research and focus groups, we know consumers
are looking for robust protection for their technology that extends
beyond yesterdays break-fix service plan model, said Tony Nader,
NEW president and CEO. We want the customers to realize the value
of their service plan from day one of purchase, and we provide them
with options to enhance the enjoyment of their product beyond the
point of sale. NEW is dedicated to providing our retail partners
and consumers with a comprehensive suite of unparalleled product
protection services from 24/7/365 tech support to technology
buyback programs to service and replacement options. Beyond the
service plan At CES, NEW seeks to educate consumers about the added
benefits that service plans provide beyond the traditional
break-fix model. These are some new features and options available
to retailers: Gaming Bundles With the purchase of NEW service plans
on popular gaming consoles, the consumer has the option to purchase
additional video games over the term of the service plan and have
those protected as well, providing additional entertainment value.
Registration Incentives NEW also provides registration incentives
and upgrade options for consumers who register their service plans
online. Upon registering, consumers can take advantage of free
offers and upgrades including buyback programs, identity theft
protection and various tech support services, such as free virus
removal and data backup. Monthly Billing NEW provides consumers
with flexibility surrounding the money they put forth to protect
their products. With monthly billing, consumers who are
budget-conscious are able to protect their products with smaller
installment payments over the course of the contract. Tablet Plan
Coverage NEW has customized its offerings to meet the needs of the
consumer on the go, with coverage of accidental damage from
handling as well as registration incentives. NEW has recognized the
unique product protection needs surrounding tablet computers and an
upward trend in the amount of tablet repairs, which can cost 50 to

customer care representatives, NEW is able to obtain consumer
feedback that helps it improve its service offering year after year

president of sales, marketing and product development. Todays
service plan provides a turnkey solution for the continued
enjoyment and protection of consumer electronics, and we hope that
we are able to communicate this long-term value to consumers,
