Roundup: Articles From Around the Web

Here are some posts from around the web that I thought you may find interesting.  Let me know if there is anything good I missed.  Email me anything awesome that you find, or write, at Mark@milestomemories.com.

Toys ‘R’ Us lenders cancel auction, plan to revive brand – Reuters

I think the Toys ‘R’ Us brand is still valuable overseas so maybe they think they can make more money keeping things running.  Or they think slapping the brand name on some generic products could add value.  Not sure but a strange decision.

Cuomo Unveils $13 Billion JFK Overhaul, Promises Subway Is ‘Next’ – Gothamist
This is good news to all the people who avoid LaGuardia like the plague, which is also getting a major face lift.  Too bad they didn’t plan for adding a runway since they have massive delays on a regular basis.  Seems like that would be most important.
Now boarding: Bluetooth audio connections – Wandering Aramean

I would love to be able to use my own headphones without needing a wire connect for IFE.  Hopefully this gets added sooner rather than later but I imagine there will be a ton of bugs.

An increase in “Item is defective” claims on Ebay – Miles per Day
eBay is becoming harder and harder to be a seller on.  I have run into eBay scammers in the past.  eBay gives most of the power to the buyer even when they know it is a scam.  Makes FB Market and Craigslist more and more enticing.
