Looking again at those quotes:
``Other highlights of the day’s business included news of a spate of
orders for Thales Avionics TopSeries embedded IFE system, indications
that three airlines are soon to announce orders for “embedded” versions
of the APS/Wencor digEplayer handheld system, and usage figures for
Lufthansa’s Connexion by Boeing-based FlyNet Internet access service.
``APS founder Bill Boyer showed an embedded version of digEplayer
incorporating a credit-card swipe to facilitate transactions and said
that he expected to announce orders from three carriers within the next
few weeks. He also indicated that lead digEplayer user Alaska Airlines
was renting out on average 80-100 per cent of the stock of units carried
on flights in excess of two and a half hours.``
Taken as stated, assuming the reporter got it right, he`s definitely talking ``embedded``. As far as interpretation, commas aren`t the problem, it`s that pesky ``and``.
