What happens when Delta calls on Nyan Cat, Lana (Overly Attached Girlfriend), and the Taylor Swift Goat to star in a video detailing safety procedures on Delta flights? Hilarity. Delta released its new in-flight safety video on YouTube just this morning as a sort of preview before it goes into circulation on flights at the end of the month. It also helps get the PR machine into gear, of course. The video features many of your Web favorites, and even includes a hat tip or two to days of internet past that we’d all rather forget. I’m looking at you Dancing Baby from Ally McBeal. From…

A new update today adds stability improvements that have made a huge difference to the ongoing usability of the app. I’ve been using the new version for a few days and iOS has only dropped back to the default system keyboard when it’s supposed to – when there’s a password to enter.
