 It's Friday, November 1st, 2013. I'm Adrienne Jeffries, champion rugby player. Rugby being the game I made up where I fall asleep on my rug while eating ramen. This is 90 seconds on the verge. Apple's iPad Air is now on sale. The 9.7 inch tablet, which is both thinner and lighter than previous models, is available in both silver and space gray. Pricing starts at $499 for the 16 gig Wi-Fi only version. Meanwhile, Apple's iPad mini with retina display is yet to receive an official release date other than Apple saying, quote, later in November. Finishing up that last round of Angry Birds Star Wars won't be so difficult anymore. The FAA is officially allowing the use of some electronics during takeoff and landing. Provided the device is in airplane mode and held or placed in the seat back pocket during the initial takeoff and landing, passengers will no longer be told to turn off electronic devices. Airlines will first need to submit a plan to manage electronics use before the new rules can be implemented. While the new rules weren't expected to go into effect until next year, the FAA is now saying we'll see broad changes by the holidays. Lockheed Martin's iconic SR-71 Blackbird spy plane is getting a sequel. According to Aviation Week, the company is currently working on an SR-72 that could reach Mach 6 cruise flight. That's twice as fast as the SR-71, which still holds a number of aircraft speed records and was capable of outrunning a bullet. Test flights wouldn't likely begin until 2018, but the plane should fly so fast it'll land in 1998. That's it for today's top stories. Coming up tomorrow, we visit an alternate universe where 90 seconds on the verge is called one and a half minutes on the verge. And there are more puns, too.
