Is it ok to peak at the laptop of the person next to you?

IN-FLIGHT LAPTOP ETIQUETTE
• Don't snoop. That spreadsheet is none of your beeswax.
• Don't stare. If you'd like to watch your neighbor's movie without sound, ask first.
• Be neighborly. If you see someone straining to peek at your movie or music video, invite the person to watch. You might make a new friend.
• Bring headphones. If you plan to watch a movie or play a game with sound, spare your neighbors the noise. If you forget, ask a flight attendant for airline headphones.
• Defend yourself. Bring earplugs or noise-canceling headphones to shut out others' laptop sounds.
• Speak up. If you have a problem with the sound or the content coming from your neighbor's laptop, tell the person. If that doesn't work, contact a flight attendant. She or he will get involved.
• Be considerate. Leave the porn and gore flicks at home.
