There are a bunch of websites that provide this information. Here’s one that actually lists the travel time between any two airports
http://www.oag.com/travel-guides/airline-airport/air-route-info/duration-finder/
There’s also another website that provides flight times between two cities in the US. It’s pretty useful because it also lists all the airlines that fly between those two cities

For driving times, basically take the distance in miles and then divide it by 60. Here’s a simple website that will give you distances between major US cities

Here’s a website that will give you distances between European cities

Another way of figuring out driving times is to use an online mapping service like Google Maps. Just pick a starting point and destination and the directions will give you both distance and time.

I have a bunch of ebooks in LIT format which I would like to read on my Mac.
Is there a LIT file reader or converter that will convert it to a format that can be read on my Mac?
Many of us have this problem, so what can we do?
Well you can get a Lit file reader, there are many free ones you can use i found this one on this site. It seems very useful plus it’s free!!

Click the download link to get the dmg file. One note - when you just clicked the app to open it, it bounced and did nothing; apparently, it works by dragging a lit file onto the app.
Another one you can use to accomplish your goal is

Here is another that converts them to PDF format.
These different file formats. Also keep in mind, every reader on windows works differently.
If the links do not work copy and paste them into your browser. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Many of us got new phones this Holiday. The only problem is we have to start all over again! There are many ways to download your contacts into your new one. you can do it the basic way, which is basically, manually transferring your content into the new. This will take you sometime and chances are you might not have the exact copy of what you had before. Another option is changing the SIM card, all you have to do is take out the new and old card from both phones. Then just swap them. The difficulties with this is that you might have incompatible phones. Usually because it’s either from two different telecommunications service provider or the phones are just different brands. The last solution i have to this conundrum is using Dashwire. I was saving the best for last! visit (www.dashwire.com)

sometimes we are directed to links on many website pages. Linking pages is easier than typing in certain information. Some links use all kinds of letters and numbers that do not make sense. Although some links are faulty, this just means they were either copied wrong or the page it links to no longer works..If you experience this problem one thing you can do is copy the main page name here’s an example: http://modernvillain.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-i-discovered-i-was-telepath.html The main root is modernvillain.blogpspot.com the rest of the letters just direct you to a specific page on the main page. So, if you typed the root into your browser you will get the website and then you can just search for the specific page yourself. This is more complicated but about the only way to view the linked page. Although there is a better option ask the person to give you another link! If the link is sent on an email you can reply to them using the appropriate email, sometimes listed, if it’s from a website.

The answer to this question is no. Many survey sites that pay members for filling surveys will usually post promotions like, if you fill this survey we will send you the product free. No one will ever give anything for free. They will usually ask you at the end, usually the last step, that you must fill at least one offer to receive the free item. I don’t trust these offers because you have to use your credit card. Most people will do it, later they receive the product free, that is until they see their credit card bill. The charges will usually be higher than the value of what you go for “free”. So why spend more when you could have spent less on the product. Many are scams as well, specially if you get the offer in your email. Many survey sites do pay for filling out surveys and offers, but doing this takes too long. I have done this, so i speak from experience. So far of all the survey sites i have signed up for are total a total waste of time. The only one i do like is inboxdollars.com, They send you paid to read emails. I don’t recommend this though, i read hundred’s of emails and when i check my email i only earned one dollar from them. What i do recommend is blogging, many great ways to earn money from that! Join Today.com! Just click the link below!
