Hasta La Gadget!

Exploring an exotic new place? From the time you book your trip until that final night on the town, your phone is the best guide through unfamiliar streets.

Do you love the great outdoors? For those who have answered in the affirmative, which appeals to you more – the mountains and forest, or the beach as well as rivers? Some might like both, but this particular mode of transport across rivers and other bodies of water is made all the more special by virtue of the material. With an asking price of a rather high $1,900, the Transparent Canoe Kayak lives up to its reputation.

Basically, the Transparent Canoe Kayak is a canoe-kayak hybrid which comes with a transparent polymer hull that will allow paddlers to drink in an underwater vista that cannot be found in conventional boats. It seats two (how romantic), where the sturdy hull is made of the similar durable material that can be found in the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets – yup, that’s how tough it is. As long as your combined weight (with all your gear) does not exceed 425 lbs., you are good to go. The adjustable seats enable paddlers to personalize their leg room, and since it boasts of a lightweight anodized aluminum frame, you can store or transport the Transparent Canoe Kayak in a jiffy.

Booking a flight can be a stressful experience. Ticket prices can fluctuate dramatically and you never know what time is the best time to buy. To help alleviate ticket-buying stress KAYAK has a launched a new price forecasting tool that will predict whether the prices in your search are likely rise or fall over the next week.

In addition to the fare history chart we’ve provided for some time, KAYAK flight search results now include a forecast of whether the prices in your search are likely to rise or fall within the next 7 days. The feature also provides the statistical confidence level behind the forecast.

Giorgos Zacharia, KAYAK’s Chief Scientist, led development of KAYAK’s price forecasts and comments, “our algorithm incorporates data from multiple faring and availability providers across the over one billion annual queries performed on KAYAK sites and mobile apps. As we continue to collect data and test the algorithm, the forecast accuracy will continue to improve.”

If you are looking to corner the market on ticket prices head over to KAYAK and try your luck at timing the best deal. The service is currently available on KAYAK.com in the US and KAYAK.co.uk in Great Britain. Unfortunately the current version of the service DOES NOT work on predicting stock prices. I tried that.
