There’s no doubt about it, shopping online is easy, saves time, and can actually help you save money. Take for instance, an out of print book for a special someone on your holiday gift list. If you can’t find it in a local secondhand book shop, Amazon and eBay are great places to try.
These days many online merchants accept both credit and debit cards. I happen to believe credit cards are safer. Credit cards have less ‘hassle’ potential should unauthorized charges end up on your monthly statement.
The fear with using your debit card online is that your bank account could be overdrawn while you’re in the process of disputing fraudulent charges. Another common online payment option is to use a reputable third-party escrow service like PayPal. Its buyer protection feature helps guarantee your purchase and comes at no additional cost to buyers. When shopping online, it’s important to shop smart. Always err on the side of caution and stick to online merchants you know and trust. Read More

Known as the Burj Dubai during construction, the tower has been renamed after the leader of Dubai’s oil-rich neighbour, Abu Dhabi.
Last month, Abu Dhabi gave Dubai a handout of $10bn (£6.13bn) to help it pay off its debts.Construction of the Burj Dubai began in 2004, at the height of an economic boom. Clad in 28,000 glass panels, the tower has 160 floors and more than 500,000 sq m of space for offices and flats. This great project deserves to carry the name of a great man Sheikh Mohammed Read More

The new “Skyrider” aircraft seat has been unveiled offering passengers a paltry 23 inches of legroom. The new “compact” seating aims to generate more revenue for the airlines by cramming even more passengers into the already crowded cabins. I foresee an increase in the number of “Air rage” incidents on the airlines that decide to go ahead and introduce these seats on their aircraft. I like the way they are demonstrated using a slender model, the seats almost look comfortable! The reality usually paints quite a different picture… Read More

Why is it whenever you channel surf (flick through the channels) on Sky TV you always seem to find adverts? Even the law of averages would dictate that at least some of the channels you land on would have program content and not adverts. My feeling is that this is no accident, I believe that the advert times are carefully planned with military precision because the powers that be at Sky know your viewing habits. Read More
