Maybe we should call in-flight Internet Hi-Wi  \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li>Mark Cuban, the gazillionaire blogger and owner of the Dallas Mavericks (plus HD.net and some other stuff), has a post up about how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogmaverick.com\/entry\/1234000993073720\/\">journalism matters<\/a> &#8212;  although he says it needs to change (and I would agree).
