When the Disruptor Becomes Disruptive
My husband and business partner travel a lot, so we need transportation from Connecticut to any of the New York airports on a regular basis. Everybody who lives in the Tri-State area knows that’s a nightmare and a half in itself. Two weeks ago we hesitantly ordered an Uber, after a bad experience we had in the past with that app where the driver didn’t show up and we had to race in our own car to catch our flight. I use Uber a lot and usually the experience ranges from nice to OK. Sometimes, the drivers are just not aware of their audience. In my humble opinion, the radio station should be switched to neutral music once a customer gets in the car, but maybe that's just me.

AI Devices for Your Smart Home
Back in the 1960s, many "house of the future" attractions in parks and fairs promised people that they would be able to order pizza by just talking to their house. It seemed so foreign, most people just never believed they'd see the day it'd happen.

Budget Wireless Carrier Service
So you have a phone plan—more than likely a 2 year committed smartphone plan, which includes unlimited talking, texting, and up to 2-3 GB of data monthly, or, for an extra $50.00 a month unlimited data. You're probably spending somewhere between $76.00 (at minimum), if not, then well over $100.00. I've got news for you, you're probably spending way too much for services... At least, I found that was the case for me, having had an AT&T plan for over 6 years and getting an employee discount which knocked my bill down to at least $76.00 per month.

Kindle's Text-to-Speech (TTS)
AUDIO BOOKS Listening to audiobooks is becoming more popular than ever. What a great way to ease a long commute, combat road rage in rush hour traffic, help household chores breeze by or pass the time on a flight. Listening to books while accomplishing other tasks at the same time even boosts productivity. I'll play an audio book while I'm preparing a family meal or folding laundry. Sure helps these mundane chores feel less harrowing. My primary source for most audio books is my local library. I usually listen to them with the Blue Fire Reader application or the Overdrive Media application on my iPhone. What's even slicker is listeners can download audio books from local libraries and borrow them for up to 21 days.

SJCAM SJ7 Star Action Camera Review
Things certainly have changed over the past few years in the action camera market. A few years back there was GoPro and everything else was simply inferior. Sure you could get cheap GoPro knockoffs, but what you saved in money, you lost in quality and durability.
