Sorry, but am I alone in being unsurprised by the continuing problems at Heathrow's Terminal 5? What evidence was there to suggest that a) the opening would go smoothly, and b) that any difficulties would be sorted out swiftly?
Aside from the recent history of Britain's opening- night failures - the Dome, the Millenium Bridge - we have British Airways' unimpressive record to go on. Never mind trying to recall a recent failure to make a comparison, think of a success - outside of BA's business-class cabin revamp.
Airlines can suffer delays and cancellations and misplace bags for many reasons. But sorting out the problems once they arise should be straightforward if you have both the systems and the necessary labour in place. In pursuit of that magical 10% margin, BA has been preoccupied with systems at T5 - forgetting that aviation is a service industry and, outside of the low-cost sector, service means employing sufficient numbers to serve.
Terminal 5 will undoubtedly prove a success - once BA throws enough staff at it, and rewards them. The investors will have to wait Willie.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
