Hi Eric, I think your idea about background checks is very interesting. I have a couple of concerns the first is with the cost. You mention building the cost into the fee however depending on the type of background check they can be very costly and time consuming, some can take 6-9 months. That brings me to my next concern, a comprehensive…[Read more]

In general I believe retailers do provide as much security as they can for their customers. They know that if customers don’t feel secure they will show elsewhere so it’s in their best interest to protect their clients. While government regulations are in place to dictate minimum levels of security many companies are going beyond that because…[Read more]

I agree that technology has made so much more possible and increased efficiency in pretty much all business sectors. I really like your comment about how you are trying to have systems in place to minimize damage. The truth is that the burden is on all of use to be as responsible as possible. We can’t ask that only retailers take measures to…[Read more]

Hi Diane, I share your concern of trust for drivers! Having lived in many international cities with horrible traffic and bad driving conditions I have started avoiding taxis everywhere. In my experience, taxi drivers are more aggressive and impatient drivers but that makes me wonder if Uber drivers would actually be better. Since they’re not…[Read more]

Hi Eric, One of the main benefits I find with using Airbnb over a traditional hotel is that you can get access to a whole house as opposed to just a room. This is great when traveling with kids or larger groups. I was on maternity leave in the US and needed a place for 3-4 months with my two kids, and the third on the way, through Airbnb I…[Read more]

Another question, is there a way to un-submit an assignment in blackboard? I realized I didn’t complete the 1 hr. of code correctly but I can’t find a way to replace the file I uploaded with a new one.

I have used Airbnb on several occasions and in several countries. Overall my experience has been very positive and I would use them again, as well as recommend others to do the same. I agree with the article that the hosts I have interacted with have good customer service and are very professional. The hosts are very prepared to handle…[Read more]

I can’t find the information about this week’s group assignment. I see on the assignment page and in the assignment drop box that we have to upload something as a group by next Thur. but I can’t find anything about the group members and what the project is. The drop box mentions that the assignment will be instructed in session, does that mean…[Read more]

I agree, the evolution of the smart phone has been incredible. We moved overseas before the iPhone was invented and every time we went home to visit I was amazed to see more and more people on mobile devices. I actually just got my first iPhone only a year ago so I’m still getting used to all the power I now have in the palm of my hand and I’m…[Read more]

I love Pandora and have been using it with Sonos for years but one down side is that it doesn’t work if you’re overseas. So I’ve created great playlists but then when traveling I have to use iTunes and I find their playlist to be too random. Pandora is great at knowing what you like based on your thumbs up or thumbs down, but iTunes has fallen…[Read more]

I totally agree! Whenever I’m looking for something new I start at Pintrest. Sometimes I actually feel guilty because I use it as such a great resource but hardly ever post any of my own suggestions/idea.

I have become very dependent on the Google Maps app since I moved to Tokyo last year. Being in a city where I can’t read the signs or understand the language can make getting around very difficult. With Google Maps I’m able to not only use the app as a GPS but it also has a feature that allows the user to navigate through the public transit…[Read more]
