No streaming involved. We receive the content 'telepathically'.

Man, people sure do get worked up around here...

And forget about using any sort of normal-sized laptop, even in E+. The protrusion from the magazine space is too great.
So, 1" of additional pitch is worse?

When you board on one of these new aircraft, remove all the literature from the seat pocket and put it on the floor or in an overhead bin.
