by Alison - on February 25th, 2013 Ahhhh the joys of travel. Vacation trips are certainly worth the hassle of getting there and back. Work trips ? not so much. Any experienced traveler knows that keeping yourself comfortable and relaxed during the transit process is key. Comfortable clothes help. Maybe you enjoy having your tunes or movies pumping into your ears. If you intend to sleep, prevent the ?35,000 foot head bob? as I like to call it, that boomerang type action that you subconsciously undertake when letting your head relax to one side or another. It is amazing more travelers don?t end up with whiplash when attempting to correct the head bob. Maybe you have a travel pillow ? you know, those C shaped things ? which helps, but the...

Report: Google Glass to get general consumer release by end of this year (and one user?s take on it from personal experience)

It?s been a good month for Google Glass, it seems. Following seemingly successful rounds of developer workshops (the results of which are being protected under strict non-disclosure agreements), Google confirmed it would be expanding the Glass Explorer program to give lucky (and rich) users a chance to get the device in its early stages for $1,500. While most of us probably won?t be crazy enough to spend that much on it, new information suggests we?ll all have a crack at the device for a cheaper price much sooner. CNet has heard it from a source that Google would carry out a consumer launch of Google Glass by the end of 2013. The original timeline was early-mid 2014 so this is even better than we expected. The device will apparently come...
