Panbo editor, publisher & chief bottlewasher from 4/2005 until 8/2018, and now pleased to have Ben Stein as a very able publisher, webmaster, and editing colleague. Please don't regard him as an "expert"; he's getting quite old and thinks that "fadiddling fumble-putz" is a more accurate description.

    All cool stuff….but displayed on a screen you can’t see in the sun.Maybe that’s how the cleats got unlatched?:)
    When is Apple going to catch up with other industries and build a sun-light readable screen?
    My new Canon camera has a great LCD screen that is good in the sunlight.( I do have an I-pad)

    The iPad controlled super tri Adastra got a shout out from Business Week:
    http://www.businessweek.com/videos/2012-04-18/the-15m-yacht-controlled-by-an-ipad
    But when the guy says it was “commissioned” five years ago, I think he means “started”; she just launched last week:

    Hopefully we’ll hear about how well the systems and design work eventually…
