The north path would be very embarrassing for many people.
The south path hypothesis (fire - decompression - zombie a/c), however unlikely, is the only one that allows to save face for all countries...

You don't need techies on board for that. Just think of all the laptops, smartphones, tablets and the like that pax carry with themselves in any normal flight. Nearly all of them have Li-Ion battery...

Yeah, but you'd need to replace it every two years or so. Flash memory 'wears out' with use, and mechanical HDs even more. An hour of qualified service personnel costs lots more than an SSD. Then add...

Knowing the round trip times for all pings, and assuming MH370 maintained a constant ground speed, plotting the course hour by hour would be a trivial matter.

It's understandable that INMARSAT...

Agree. Moreover, if the Maldives sighting took place at 06:15, and there were pings at 11 minutes past each hour, one of them should match. But strangely, it seems we only have the timing (=angle)...

It's also strange that while Vietnam ATC made every effort to contact back the a/c, Malaysians seemed oblivious to the matter, despite having been warned by their counterpart. I think a missing plane...

But a non-modified phone shouldn't give any RF activity...
