Gogo: Inflight Internet Service
If the movie they offer is as bad as the food, now you’ll be able to kill time and enjoy surfing the web on a few major airlines (AA, Virgin America & Delta) that have announced implementing Gogo internet services in their fights. I love the idea and even more the fact that they don’t advertise the service as “free Wi-Fi” as other companies do and in the end, still charge you for using it. The very straightforward in how the service works.
Prices are very affordable at $9.95 for trips of three hours and shorter and $12.95 for flights over three hours. And the service is available for any device able to connect to the Internet, so that means your iPhone is a go too.

Size does matter ... but retailers confuse shoppers
For customers, “a size tag is more than a number; it relates to how people see themselves.” Working in the industry, I’ve heard a lot of feedback from customers stating that certain sizes seem to be fitting bigger than normal, so they willingly go down a size to accommodate the weight that they may or may have not lost.
This is not to say that some Americans are not conscious of their body image but I believe some retailers are purposely making certain sizes fit bigger so that customers feel good about the fact that they have to opt for a smaller size. For example, if I’m normally an XL but it fits too big, then I’ll say to myself, “wow, I guess I lost some weight” and so I feel good about myself by purchasing a L.
