The Professor’s Minute Minute — July 11, 2025

This is why we can’t have nice things…

Turbulence Takes a Victim

A Gulfstream IV private jet was tossed around mid-air over the Arabian Sea when it encountered severe wake turbulence from an Airbus A380. No one died, but the aircraft was written off and parted out. Small jet. Big trauma.

Fire Sale at 777 Partners

It’s liquidation time. The distressed assets of 777 Partners, including football clubs and airline ownership - maybe more, are going to auction. The ripple effect affects lots of people it could get messy but do bad things happen to bad people/

Ryanair at 40

The airline that made “cheap” chic celebrates four decades. Its first flight in 1985 had just 44 passengers between Waterford and Gatwick. Today? 180 million flyers a year. Not bad for an upstart once dismissed as a joke.

Chrome Gets Company

OpenAI is launching a browser. Yes, a real one. Not just a plugin or wrapper. If it’s fast, safe, and truly AI-native, Google might finally feel what disruption really tastes like.

Goodbye to ‘Unlimited Vacation’

Bolt, once the poster child for unlimited PTO, quietly dumped the policy. Turns out when you tell Americans they can take as much time as they want… they just don’t.

Delta Says No to Robo-Glasses

Channeling its inner Amy Winehouse, Delta has said flight attendants can’t wear AI-powered smart glasses anymore. The ban cites safety and distraction. Somewhere, a Silicon Valley product manager is crying into their virtual latte.
