		<title>Boarding Pass Fail and Beautiful Designs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Every once in a while a designer will come across somthing ugly and  feel the need to do something about it. So it was with Squarespace  Creative Director Tyler Thompson, who late last year found himself  aesthetically offended by the mess that is a Delta Airlines boarding  pass.

So I took out my Moleskine and started sketching. I tried to  remember my previous trip through John F. Kennedy Airport and when and  why I needed to reference my boarding pass. It seemed like I first ...

		<title>The iPad As In-Car Entertainment System Killer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Cars.com&#8217;s David Thomas speculates that the iPad could prove to be a serious problem for automakers that charge a ransom for rear entertainment systems.
The base iPad, Thomas notes, costs far less than most DVD options offered by automakers. Ford charges $1,995 for a dual-headrest-mounted DVD system in its Flex crossover. In the Acura MDX, its single-screen system, with three wireless headsets and a 9-inch screen, costs $1,900. At $500 a pop, giving two kids their own iPads would cost far less than what the automakers charge for an ICE system.

		<title>6 Tips That Will Get You an Empty Seat Next to You On an (Almost) Full Flight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A practical guest post by Scott from Trekeo for AlmostFearless.com. I&#8217;m myself a heavy user of these tips when flying between Paris and Vienna… and they really work!  Please feel free to add your tips in  the comments.

My nightmare finds myself stuck in the center seat on a 4-hour  flight.  To my right is a guy twice my size who decides that both  armrests belong to him.  He spends most of the flight fidgeting and  complaining under his breath.  Turns out he is ...

		<title>Nokia, shoe fitting people</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who still think that the whole story of Nokia started in 1984 with the Mobira Talkmen, then get ready for the raw truth: before getting involved with what is now its first source of revenue, Nokia was involved in a bunch of industries!
The Finnish company of Tampere (and now Espoo) produced at one time or another paper products, car and bicycle tires, communications cables, televisions  and other consumer electronics, personal computers, electricity generation machinery, robotics, capacitors, military communications and equipment (such as the SANLA M/90 device ...

		<title>Need a secondary display for that laptop? Got you covered.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When I’m working from home, I have a dual-monitor setup for my PC.  Very useful on busy days or for keeping an eye on RSS feeds while  watching a movie. The truth is, it makes me feel like being some kind of a successful trader who monitors the financial markets&#8230; &#8220;buy, buy&#8221; or &#8220;Oh my God! Sell, sell!!&#8221;. Really??!
No. But some fellows do that, I&#8217;m almost sure.
On the road I take my MSI Wind netbook, and while multiple desktops are handy, I  sometimes wish I had a ...

		<title>How Blogging Can Save Your Expat Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An expat myself, I couln&#8217;t but identify myself to Alison, a very cool expat blogger based in Brussels, when I read her post &#8220;How Blogging Saved My Expat Life&#8221;.
I guess we all somehow experience the same feelings when we move for good to a new place we don&#8217;t know, a place we don&#8217;t speak the language and are not familiar yet with the culture.  A place we feel like a foreigner, though we now leave there. In her post Alison explains how to turn this, at first challenging, change into ...
