When Apple introduced its facial recognition/unlock feature in the iPhone X in 2017, it did away with the formerly present fingerprint sensor. This is unlike every Android phone I’m aware of – although many […]
I hope you are having – or should I now say “did have” a lovely Thanksgiving, however you arranged it. I had to smile on Friday – my daughter and I were out walking
Good morning I hope you had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. Did you have a reduced group for your dinner, or did you ignore the virus threat and press on regardless? Fortunately (or not!) for me,
A bit later today, the US will pass another “milestone” – 4% of the total population will have become infected by the virus (13.3 million people). The airlines are disclosing a new idea they

To start off on a happy note, I’d like to thank the many people who responded to my “special” request to become a Travel Insider Supporter in last Sunday’s Covid-19 diary entry. I was very
Good morning Many thanks to everyone who responded to the restart of our 2020 Annual Fundraising Drive last week. It is great to see the concept of voluntary support being accepted so positively, including one
Earlier today saw the US case count break through the 12 million point, less than a week after exceeding 11 million. Or did it? Sure, the official count, as reported by Worldometers and elsewhere,

Monday morning started with headlines that were almost as ecstatic as the surging share market that followed. “Covid Miracle”. “The end of the virus”. “Return to Normalcy by Spring”. Even the staid WHO managed
Usually weekly, since 2001, we publish a roundup of travel and travel related technology developments, and often a feature article too.
You’ll stay up to date with the latest and greatest (and cautioned about the worst) developments. You’ll get information to help you choose and become a better informed traveler and consumer, how to best use new technologies, and at times, will learn of things that might entertain, amuse, annoy or even outrage you.
We’re very politically incorrect and love to point out the unrebutted hypocrisies and unfairnesses out there.
This is all entirely free (but you’re welcome to voluntarily contribute!), and should you wish to, easy to cancel.
We’re not about to spam you any which way and as you can see, we don’t ask for any information except your email address and how often you want to receive our newsletters.
