So, the pickets are up at Boeing. Apparently, a little time in Florida couldn’t bring the negotiators together.
It turns out Disney World just wasn’t magical enough. Everyone was having a good time making Airbus jokes on the Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride, but talks broke down in Fantasyland when someone cracked wise about the 787.
Microsoft’s new ad campaign featuring Jerry Seinfeld made its debut, and the reviewers say it was, um … breathtaking.
