Thanks for pointing out VRBO Duke. Often there is a dominating name/brand – yet others may forget about competing platforms that have been around for longer and/or may be more reputable. VRBO by founded in 1995 – one could argue well before the dawn of the ‘modern’ Internet. I have not personally booked on VRBO but I have stayed in a property…[Read more]

As a renter, is it acceptable to expect information on a host – personal information, criminal history, information on the property itself (is it safe, has there been any recent damage)? With a hotel, I reference Trip Advisor or Google to see what other travelers have said about their experiences. I want to know if the place is clean,…[Read more]

I have not traveled to Europe but it is my understanding that retailers there have been rapidly adopted the capability to accept payment cards with chip technology. Here in the U.S. we have banks and card companies issuing cards with the chip technology, but very few retailers are updating their point of sale terminals to accept the new cards.…[Read more]

Saqib – I do agree with your comments – Airbnb seems to have developed a better culture between their company, its platform, and the users (both renters and hosts). On the other Uber is more of a ‘battling’ environment – battling its drivers, battling governments (i.e. Uber vs. City of Philadelphia), battling consumer safety groups. I have used…[Read more]

I have previously heard a little about Airbnb, read in the news about its rapid increase in value as a company and some of the recent problems (similar to EJ’s story, the issue in NYC about ‘illegal hoteling’, renters who never leave), but never thought once about using the service. Maybe I just thought of it as renting someone’s couch. The…[Read more]

My wife originally wanted to upgrade from a 5S to a 6. I talked her into the 6 Plus, although at first she felt the phone was going to be way too big to use comfortably. She is a professional wedding photographer and I had her think about how nice it would be to show off her website and photography to potential clients from her phone (during…[Read more]

That’s a great feature also Duke. And we use it for making restaurant reservations in the parks!

All of the major security software companies – like Symantec and McAfee – now offer apps for protecting your smartphone and tablet with anti-virus and Internet security. I recommend Lookout Mobile Security for your smartphone, especially if you are running Android. The free version will scan downloaded apps for viruses, spyware, malware. The…[Read more]

It depends on who you follow. For example, I follow the major news sources (CBS, NBC, Wall St Journal) – sports (ESPN, FOX) – and these companies are usually careful about what the report through Twitter. It’s great for staying updated on breaking news and I also like it for following the financial news. I also work at Verizon, in enterprise…[Read more]

The WDW app is very good Paul. So useful for finding services in the park too. I used it extensively on our family vacation there last summer. And right after I finish this program in May, my wife, daughter and I are headed back and the app will get a work out then!

I am also a technophile Prof. Johnson. I have been in the wireless telecom business for over 10 years, happily anticipating and devouring all the advancements and innovations that have entered our lives. If there is one thing that I love the most, I would have to say it is the Twitter app on my Android smartphone. I don’t tweet very much,…[Read more]
