Readers at FlyerTalk are outraged at the new iPhone commercial featuring a pilot who uses his iPhone to check the weather and inform the control tower that things were clearing up and he should be able to fly. I’m actually getting kind of tired of these “real person” ads, actually. Not sure why, but they don’t sit right with me. Oh well. Now you’ll know what happens when your flight takes off into the heart of a thunderstorm because your pilot checked SimpleWeather on the runway.

For once I want to be the guy who is so anal that he needs to point out that if you mention and link to a website you or someone else on the CrunchGear staff is affiliated with (Vince in this case) you should add the proper disclaimer before someone comes and tries to sue you because the photo of his grandma he googled suddenly links to you weather service, generating millions in dollars of ad revenue he wants to get paid from you now. Ask Michael, he knows how it feels ;-)
