A New Air Travel Trendsetter (JetRadar Review

Holy cow alert - From 0 To $30,000 A Month With Dropshipping



http://jetradar.com

Commercial air travel has become more affordable today than in the last two decades. Ticket prices are lower mainly because of two game changers that appeared in the advent of modern technology: online ticket brokering and the focus on low-cost air travel. Airlines that were not able to cope with this change have been forced to drop out.

Passengers today are more conscious of prices and quality. Various websites and online services such as Orbitz, CheapFlights and Expedia are now widely used to track the cheapest ticket that you can buy when coming and going to specific places. This method of tracking prices is not exactly a hundred percent effective. Most airlines now make the best ticket prices, deals and promos accessible only through their own websites to encourage customers in patronizing their company thus preventing the loss of customers to rival companies while strengthening their own commercial marketability.

So how can you find the best deals without scouring all the airline s' websites one by one? The answer is a cunning new innovation that when successful, can once again change the game of airline ticket sales and be the best cheap ticket retailer in the market- JetRadar.

JetRadar is unique because it can identify special ticket deals from the database of 35 companies and 728 airlines even with their individual websites .Then it conducts a search for the cheapest price with the prizes available in the public database. This has never been done by anyone else before. It was initially tested in small scale local markets and has quickly become a strong presence in ticket brokering. From a few local branches like AviaSales, Ru in Russia, plans to open local branches in Thailand and Hong Kong, as well as a central office to dominate the cheap ticket sales market internationally has been set.

eWorky Review

Daily advice link - Freelancer? We are hiring!



http://www.eworky.com/

If you're normal as normal can be and you have an extra room or space in your company, chances are all you have in there are empty boxes or broken equipment. How about renting it out to rake in some extra cash?

In a different scenario, imagine yourself a small business owner needing to conduct a meeting in a place with special equipment and/or infrastructure beyond your budget, or a freelancer in need of a temporary workspace. How does booking a workspace on a daily, weekly, monthly basis when you need it, where you need it at a price you can afford sound?

This, basically, is the idea behind startup eWorky - to function as collaborative search platform for people on the lookout for workspace. eWorky has a big community of companies offering diverse types of workspace for various types of professions.

Finding available workspace with eWorky is less complicated than online car reservation. All you need to do is sign up, log into your account and search for the space you need in your area. If you're looking to rent in another city, simply scroll to your city of choice and browse through available listings. As soon as you find what you need, book and pay for the workspace online.

If you're a property manager wishing to provide workspace, eWorky allows you to advertise your place for free. Make sure to be descriptive of your property. And that should include its size, furniture available, amenities such as Wi-Fi, how to access the space, vacancies and promos for customers with multiple and/or long-term bookings. Once a customer agrees with your specified terms, payment is deposited directly to your account.

This Ain't My Chair - Clint Eastwood Sues Furniture Company For Using His Name


Clint Eastwood has a message for the owner of a furniture company selling products branded "Clint" and "Eastwood": Do you feel lucky?

The Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker has sued a company called Evofurniture, as well as a website called Inmod.com and its domain name owners Alan Finkelstein and Casey Choron, for allegedly offering for sale entertainment centers, ottomans and chairs named after one of the most iconic Hollywood figures of all time.

n a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court this week, Eastwood claims Evofurniture and the Inmod site "are continuing to use Mr. Eastwood's name, identity and persona for the purpose of attracting attention to the infringing products...."

Further, Eastwood claims the stores have used marketing statements such as:

"When you're invited into a person's home, you get to see the good, the bad and the ugly. When visitors come to your home, the Clint 47'' Entertainment Center makes your family room alone look like you live in a perfect world of a million dollar baby"

and

"Whether your favorite movies are westerns from the 1970s or dramas from the 2000s, you need a comfortably stylish place to hang out and watch them. If you're planning on having friends over for Dirty Harry marathons, then you definitely need something hip and modern. What you need is the Clint 71'' Entertainment Center."

The bolded portions above (also bolded in the lawsuit) are references, of course, to Eastwood movies. The actor-filmmaker claims the furniture stores didn't seek permission to trade on the goodwill associated with his name and his movies. "Accordingly," says the complaint, "Defendants are liable to Mr. Eastwood for the infringement of his rights."

Eastwood is seeking a permanent injunction against the use of his name, image and other rights of publicity, as well as unspecified damages.

We reached out to the defendants via the Inmod website and will update with a response. A search of the website for "Clint" and "Eastwood" did not pull up any furniture, so perhaps the allegedly infringing products already have been taken down.

The suit, filed by attorneys Charles Harder and Jeffrey Abrams at Wolf Rifkin Shaprio Schulman & Rabkin, alleges two causes of action for misappropriation of right of publicity.

Homemade Cannon Kills California Woman

Daily advice link - Freelancer? We are hiring!

A San Diego County woman killed when a homemade cannon exploded was struck in the upper chest by a projectile and metal fragments, U-T San Diego reported Wednesday.

Jeanette Ogara, 38, was fatally injured just after midnight Tuesday when her boyfriend, Richard Fox, 39, loaded the cannon with powder from fireworks and accidentally set it off.

Fox was injured by shrapnel that tore into his leg, U-T San Diego said, and he was being held without bail while awaiting arraignment Thursday.

New details about Fox and his relationship with Ogara have emerged as authorities continue to investigate the bizarre death.

Fox was charged with misdemeanor battery against Ogara in 2006, pleaded guilty in 2009 and was placed on three years' probation, according to court records obtained by U-T San Diego, which also reported that Fox served at least three stints in prison in the 1990s on a variety of auto theft and weapons possession convictions.

On Wednesday, investigators searched the couple's property for explosives, sheriff's homicide Sgt. David Martinez told U-T San Diego.

San Diego County medical examiners were set to perform an autopsy on Ogara on Wednesday, but results were not posted as of Thursday morning.

Computer hackers penetrate database of Netfleet, possibly accessing addresses and credit card numbers.

Computer hackers have penetrated the database of Australia's biggest internet domain name auction house, possibly accessing client home addresses and encrypted credit card numbers.

Netfleet yesterday told clients of the security breach and said it had reported the incident to the Australian Federal Police and CERT Australia - the National Computer Emergency Response Team in the Attorney-General's Department.

Netfleet is a domain name auction house that specialises in reselling expired, highly sought after domain names. In September last year, it set an Australian record by selling an expired com.au domain name for $125,000.

In an email to clients, Netfleet said: ''There appears to have been a security breach of our database … this may have resulted in unauthorised access to some of your customer account information, such as your name, email address, billing address, phone number and a cryptographically scrambled version of your credit card and expiry date.

''Credit card information is encrypted in our database, and we do not store CCV digits. Whilst we believe no sensitive data such as credit card information was accessed by the intruder, there is a possibility that this is indeed the case and as such we felt it our duty to inform you.''

Netfleet's website was taken offline yesterday, with visitors to the site told: ''Due to technical issues, Netfleet will not be available today (Feb 1 2012). We will send more information to registered users shortly.''

An AFP spokeswoman confirmed the matter had been formally referred to police and was being evaluated to determine whether an investigation would be launched. Fairfax was unable to contact Netfleet chief executive Mark Lye yesterday.

In September, Mr Lye told Fairfax that the domain name industry was becoming valuable because more businesses were seeking an online presence.

''As more domains are registered, supply is limited so it generally commands higher prices,'' he said.

Netfleet this morning advised clients all their passwords had been reset.
