“JetBlue is my new favorite airline”— AMGftw

 Jet blue offers solution to ‘Carmageddon’

On Wednesday, JetBlue offered a $4 flight special to those affected by this Saturday’s Interstate 405 closure in Los Angeles. The special allows customers to take the airline’s shortest flight ever—a 10-minute trip between the Burbank and Long Beach airports to escape traffic. It is estimated that more than 500,000 cars travel on Interstate 405 in Los Angeles each weekend. Three hours after the announcement, JetBlue announced that all $4 flights were sold out.

CNN.com readers were thrilled by the proactive approach the airline took to help out during the interstate closure (referred to by many as ‘Carmageddon’).

D3adpool  said, “Total travel with airport security and boarding, talking maybe 45 min.  Way faster than the 405, and that's when it's not closed down!”

PSAguy agreed. “That 405 is ridiculous.  What a way to live.  There is no ocean or climate worth that stress!!”

cameron2k asked, “Wouldn't it take longer to go through the airport hassle, plus 40-minute flight, than take the freeway?”

Despite the potential for minor airport delays, JustTroy  responded that the special is still a good idea:

“Yes, there's a wait for TSA, but it doesn't compare to the wait you'd have if you tried to drive it. A shuttle company said they 'hope' to make the drive in four hours.”

Lightnup said, “Kudos. I think this is a great service JetBlue is giving us SoCal residents who wish to avoid this weekend's absolute gridlock.”

Video triggers mistrial in Clemens perjury case

The perjury trial of Roger Clemens ended in a mistrial Thursday after the prosecution showed a video the judge ruled was inadmissible. Clemens, a former baseball player and all-star, is accused of perjury, obstruction of Congress and making false statements about his alleged use of steroids.  CNN.com readers felt the tax dollars spent on Clemens’ trial should be used for other things.

Nodule said:

"Have you ever thrown a fastball at  98 mph without using steroids?"
"Yes."
"Good enough for me!  I'm getting paid so let's just have us a mistrial!"

Lollygagger said, “WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY!!!   Who cares if he juiced or lied about juicing, is it really worth all the cost?”

RaTzAss said, "Seriously, there are bigger fish to fry. Forget this steroids crap and let the individual leagues in all sports police it themselves. Move on Congress!!"

LedRobster said, “Sweet, and I was worried that my tax dollars were being wasted.”

Guest said, “Just another case of poor prosecution with flimsy evidence. The feds should not even be meddling in baseball. There are a lot of more important things for the feds to do. Clinton lied to them and nothing happened.”

Tech elite struggling to define Google+

Is it a Twitter-assassin, a Facebook-killer or somewhere in between? Although several theories have been offered about what to make of Google+, the tech elite haven’t quite defined it yet. CNN.com readers used the comments section to sound off about how they are using the world's newest social network.

ii2bcnii said, "It seems similar to Google Wave, with circles.  The profile reminds me a lot of the FB profile.  I have difficultly finding people to invite or add."

LeeVA offered a suggestion, "I would call G+ Stream items "Casts," as in "casting a line in the stream."

TomAyles said, "So far, so good.  I like a lot about it - mostly the same things others have mentioned, like circles.  Some things still need some work, like sparks.  It would be nice to also see some Google reader integration the way they've already integrated buzz."

wstrnprd said, "So far I like what Google+ has to offer.  I find the 'hangouts' a very nice feature, as I have many friends/family spread across the country and this allows a quicker, simpler way for me to connect with them."
