Starwood Hotels has confirmed its hotel guest database of about 500 million customers has been stolen in a data breach. The hotel and resorts giant said in a statement filed with U.S. regulators that the “unauthorized access” to its guest database was detected on or before September 10 — but may have dated back as far […]

There’s no place like home for the holidays, or so it’s said. But between the jam-packed airports, flight delays, crowded roads, and fickleness of winter weather, traveling to said home might not always seem worth it.
Still, canceling your trip isn’t really an option once you’ve got everything booked — and besides, you’ll break your mom’s heart if you tell her you can’t make it this year. (She’s making your favorite potato dumplings, after all.)
All things considered, the best you can do is attempt to make your seasonal trip as painless as possible — an endeavor that’s as simple as picking up any of these traveler-friendly gadgets from the Mashable Shop.

Kickstarter can be a fickle mistress, and you never truly know how backers will respond to a project. For instance, we know that they love exploding kittens — they threw nearly $9 million towards a card game based on that premise — and that they’re willing to give more than $55,000 to a random guy who just wanted potato salad. But who could’ve predicted those success stories? What does it take to make a Kickstarter megahit? (Give us a call when you figure that out, please and thanks.)
There’s one project in particular, however, whose success should surprise no one, and that’s the BauBax Jacket. Billed as the world’s best travel jacket, the BauBax contains an inflatable neck pillow, gloves, earplugs, a microfiber cloth, a stylus, a detachable hood, an eye mask, and tons of other built-in features that are essential for smart, modern travel. It’s not just practical, though, but spiffy, too, capable of taking you from the airport to wherever the night takes you. Read more…
