Just in timefor summer, Google has
rolled itsvarious travel offerings into one
simple hub, which looks setto become
an in valuabletool. Trips letsyou find and
book flights, hotels and holidays, but it
really comes into itsown whencombined
with other Google services, such as
collatingconfirmed bookings and past
trips fromyour Gmail account, and
monitoringyour Google search activity
to suggest suitable jaunts.You can edit
your tr avel information, share the details
with others andkeep track ofyour trip
research, and there are informative online
travel guides that suggest thingsto do
alongside articles pulled from theweb.Sleepeezee

Ideally, you should lie on a bed and
mattress beforeyou buy but, according
to Sleepeezee, the jargon usedby
manufacturers is the biggest problem.
To help, it has created a simplified
website with an intuitive MakeYour Bed
section. Choose a size, comfort level and
priceto get recommendations, then
select a divan, headboard andcolour
before savingyour creation as a PNG file.
By taking this choiceto a retailer (you
can’t buy online),you should be ableto
check out the bed in person.The sit e
also has an interesting blog, although the
history section may induceyawns.HOME

layout that letsyou instantly seerecently updated and added apps, and discover
unfamiliar ones. Select tabsto browse individualstores and searchfor specific
software, and click an app iconto open therelevant distribution platform. Linux App
Store is time-saving and user-friendly, and with promised improvementsincluding
an indicator of previously installed apps, it should prove an essentialresource.
