If a bus is traveling at 65 mph, and it’s emitting a wireless internet with a data rate of 9.2kb/sec , does an email get sent faster if the bus accelerates? I am living a high school physics pop quiz question right now, en route from DC to NYC on a bus that offers free WiFi.

Forget the Chinatown Express experience. This is the way to travel. DC2NY offers itself as a luxury service for those willing to pay the $5 premium (but only $25!) to avoid the bootleg operations of its competitors, whose buses frequently break down and reek of porta-potties. Only 30 minutes into the trip, I don’t hesitate to give my wholehearted endorsement to the new player on the scene. I just hope nobody else finds out about them so the seats around me remain empty!
