After working for an airline for five years (four of which were at an airport, and one of which required me to commute weekly) and backpacking Europe for the last five months, I’d like to consider myself qualified to be an expert traveler.
I developed a little system after a lot of trial and error, so I thought I’d share my secrets.

DING DING: How WhatsApp delivered RIM's final blow
We’ve seen this for a while – it’s not a new story. It’s the beginning of an end. Here is why I think that it was a number of startups and a series of mistrials and tribulations, and not a Fortune 500 company, that really led to RIM’s demise.
