I saw this too and thought about blogging it, but in the end didn't. For me, lying in a hammock would be just fine, and I don't actually want all that entertainment. Or a sleeping pod like those things in Tokyo one reads about. The drawback is that one has to be strapped in for take-off and landing. If they can figure that, and a hammock, I'm all for it.
