Ted Simon Stuck in India Ted Simon, in the middle of his second round-the-world motorcycle trip, is stuck in India having second thoughts about the statement he made in his first book (Jupiter's Travels) that wartime is the best time to travel in a country (because there aren't any other tourists there and it's nearly impossible even for war correspondents to find the front line) and risk going through Afganistan. Having some time on his hands to catch up with his followers who monitor the Yahoo! groups site at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jupiter_travels/ , he's gotten some flack from a certain fan with a fictitious name who calls him an asshole for his political opinions. The flame caused supporters to rebut in a very dignified manner. Bravo, gentlemen! Visit his site for a great photo of what it's like to ride a bike packed for touring through India. 2:34:27 PM     PDA with GPS and voice-prompted driving directions Popular Science's Suzanne Kantra Kirschner tests Garmin's iQue 3600 ($589), the first PDA to fully integrate GPS into the body and the OS, allowing you to access voice-prompted driving directions from your address book. 2:24:34 PM     Luftansa FlyNet" In-Flight Internet Service Popular Science's Eric Adams tests "FlyNet, Lufthansa's branding of Connexion by Boeing, the world's first broadband inflight Internet service, which debuted in January on a single 747 that circles between Washington Dulles and Frankfurt." 2:21:00 PM
