They are also trying to introduce a siri that won't light up in order to cause less distractions of the driver.

United Flew 787 Dreamliner

United Airlines became the first U.S.carrier to fly passengers on Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner. The flight sold out flying from Houston to Chicago. "It felt like we were kids going to Disney World for the first time I guess." People that took this flight were so excited to fly on this awesome plane. Apparently the flight had a "party atmosphere" according to a couple of the passengers. As the plane arrived in Chicago they received a water-cannon-salute. They do this for inaugural flights and people were saying this was just awesome.
