Phil Tonks from Bus Users UK was really impressed with the robustness and quality of the Real-Time Passenger Information provided via the iPhone App: “ I tried to find holes in the system; I’ve used technology before in several different guises and if often let me down….

Arizona’s SB1070 law may impact tourism this summer
Arizona’s controversial new law regarding illegal immigrants may have a detrimental impact on travel and tourism in the southwestern state. The law, which requires police to question “reasonably suspicious” individuals to determine whether or not a resident is legal or not, has been challenged by politicians, Arizona natives and even the President. If the individuals in question by the police cannot immediately produce the required legal documents, they can be arrested, jailed for 6 months and fined for $2,500.

7 New Ways to Keep Your Garage and Tools Organized
