The Malaysian government is not used to giving information or being under the scrutiny of the world. The information that is being provided to the public by that government is not credible. Partial information from various sources is almost as good as no information. Too many countries in the path of the projected northern flight path have overlapping radar. Satellites tracking planes are prone to error. Mainly due to human interpretation of what they are seeing. My take on what is being reported without proof of source is: Under closer examination of the "facts" most will just be enthusiastic hype by the individuals seeing a blip on a screen and assuming it is Flight 370.
The News reporting is all speculation and hype. Now the reporters are retelling information from other news organizations as fact without fact checking and credible sources.
It is now reported that the ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) used by the Airline is not top of the line. It was opted to not have full featured system in order to save money.

My best opinion is: It's at the bottom of the ocean within 100 miles of the last voice contact.

How hard is it to do this? Seems to me that would be a lot easier then all the other plots the terrorist have tried. I've never rented a large jet and wouldn't know where to begin, or what it would cost. I didn't even know such a thing was possible.

Happens all the time. I once hauled 10 or 15 polo ponies from the Middle East to NYC because some Sheiks kid was going to college there and wanted to watch his ponies.

Chartered flights happen very regularly, for all sorts of things, from hopeful politicians running for office, to whatever cargo is needed to be hauled.
I still think it possible the composite material broke apart. The fuel would have vaporized, at altitude, so no slicks on the water, no fireball, and no large debris field to find either.

The 777 may have some composite panels but is mostly aluminum. The 787 makes wide use of composites.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am getting pretty disgusted with the news reports about this missing plane. We Know absolutely NOTHING that we did not know a week ago. All of the breaking news and new information has been contradicted, and muddied back and forth so many times, whether intentionally or by incompetence I don't know. But NOTHING concrete has come out in the last week. Now they are saying that maybe all of the communication went off at the same time, NOT the 14 minutes interval. This is all crap. When "news" agency's have no information they just make it up. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

SAME HERE, did you see the CNN map search area, it circled half the globe. SO WHAT the plane is "somewhere on the plant" that the BREAKING NEWS? I have never seen so many forensic experts in my life. Everyone has an opinion and ea. is more strange than the last.
Every talking head want to be the ONE EXPERT that figured it out. They have experts tripping over experts. I'm sick of all of it.
