I'm taking Amtrak out to visit my old school for Halloween (gas is expensive, and I'm too lazy to drive 3 hours). I was actually thinking "have they gotten Wifi yet?"
Guess not :/ #gizmodoremainders

Amtrak really isn't that bad. I used to dog it big time but I actually enjoy riding it between KC and Chicago. It's nice not being in a rush. I know it's kind of an old fogey way to go but I like being able to plug in my laptop in an AC outlet and watch movies. It neat watching the countryside go by, especially when the weather is bad. I've seen cars come to a crawl and there I am going about 65 and making good time to my destination. I don't have to worry about driving or driving for the other person in the car. I can walk around and stretch my legs without loosing time at a truck stop, although truck stops have their own special allure. I can also take a whiz when I want without having to exit at a dodgy Kum 'n' Go (they actually exist primarily in Nebraska). Oh and I can lay down in my sleeper and take a nap without being disturbed by whiny kids or annoying people. All in all it's pretty nice. #gizmodoremainders

@UGAdawg: Agreed. I especially love the "sounds" of rail travel, too, and the subtle rocking of the cars.

Unfortunately, here on the east coast, tickets are pricey as hell (they may be in the midwest, too, though; I dunno), so they can really hurt the bank account. While the Wi-Fi would be a seriously awesome addition to the experience, I'm afraid that it would slim down some wallets with inflated ticket prices. That would likely be rough on a lot of travelers, even if they're not using the service. #gizmodoremainders

@Gordonium: It's probably priced differently in the NE corridor. Considering it's the most highly used in terms of train travel they make up for it. Plus it's the only form of long distance transport that will take you from city center to city center that doesn't require driving or taking the dreaded Greyhound. Depending on the cost it might be worth it. I can imagine it would cost about the same as a paperback, which is something I end up getting before a train trip anyway. I wouldn't mind spending it on WiFi and watching my Slingbox or Hulu. #gizmodoremainders

@UGAdawg: I really enjoyed riding the train too. Normal, IL to Raton, NM. good trip.
It's slower than flying, but they don't check your bags (don't read into that) and you can carry as much as you want, you are always free to "roam about the cabin", and you meet interesting people (lots of amish).
the sound is pretty soothing, to me. #gizmodoremainders

@ColbertSuperNationalist: @Gordonium:

Imagine that. Gadget lovers who enjoy something as old fashioned as a train ride. I also like the fact that they don't check the bags in a traditional sense. Plus I hate taking out my laptop and putting it in it's own bin and my shoes as well. It's just a big production. I think that's what you meant ColbertSuperNation. Shenanigans never crossed my mind.

Oh and I also like the sound as well. :-) #gizmodoremainders

She's gorgeous, but the overwhelming feeling I get when I watch that video is sadness - that an intelligent, mature, rich, successful woman feels she has walk around in her underwear and pose like a porn star to feel good about herself and promote her career/make even more money. Assuming she enjoys it, of course; if she hates it and it's just about promotion. . . I can't decide whether that's better or worse! Meh, her decision.

@CommentingpointlesslyisMeh: Yeah, she may be.

I guess, as a woman, I personally can't think of anything less enjoyable than prancing around in my undies and high heels and having to pretend to feel sexy in front of a crew of (probably male) strangers, while writhing around on a (probably) cold and uncomfortable kitchen work surface (?) knowing that thousands of men will be wanking over the result. I would find that extremely unpleasant, demeaning and unerotic. Most actors and actresses say as much when they have to shoot sex scenes. But, you may be right - each to her own.

@Slyd3z: most Americans (60% of Americans are obese) do not look like what humans are supposed to look like, physiologically speaking. It's very likely that you are basing your opinion on years of exposure to overweight people. If you live in America, of course.

@UnderLoK: case in point. I don't see ribs and pelvic bones here. She looks smooth, in good health, and shapely... instead of chunky, top-heavy, etc.

@Sean Masters: Or, you could have a distorted view of what constitutes a healthy and/or beautiful appearance. Not only that, but also a bad case of being a generalizing, stereotyping halfwit. And if you watched the video, you would see plenty of exposed bones (not unlike what you see on the "Save the Children" ads; but I'm sure they posses an ideal image to you). 60% of Americans are obese? Probably. I wonder what the percentage of pretentious assholes is where you are?

Kate is very very beautiful no doubt. But I seriously doubt that Esquire magazine can rightfully call anyone the "sexiest woman alive". Still, good for Kate.
