Air Help

The next time you travel, you should get help via this application. It not only tells you what your entitled to but also helps you achieve what you should get legally.
It can also be done online as well but I believe the quicker you file your application the faster you'll get results. Great application for the frequent flyer.

I always love to go portable and every once in a while when I discover a new item on the market, I let everyone know. This device is a keeper because not only does it come with a handy case.

Dell Warranty void

Dell users be warned if you install VLC or KM Player on your computer, Dell will void your warranty. The excuse that Dell is using is that the software overrides Dell's manufacturing specs and damages the speaker. So if you install the software, you void Dell's manufacture computer warranty. Sound ridiculous, yes it as and as for the software makers response. It's that Dell is building computers with poor quality speakers.
