Orlando Kiosks

-

People flying into Orlando International Airport from out of the country
 will be able to get through U.S. Customs more quickly thanks
 to a new $400,000 system unveiled to the media on Wednesday.
Ten electronic kiosks were put into operation that allow
 travelers to enter information such as the size of their
 party, the purpose of their visit
 and other administrative data and have it electronically
 transmitted to Customs officers rather than show them paperwork.
 
Airport and Customs officials estimate the kiosks could cut the
 time dealing with an agent to 30 seconds.
OIA is the first airport to offer the service, which is
available to American and Canadian citizens, as well as
visitors from 37 countries who do not need a visa.
 
All of it is activated through a touch screen.Other airports,
among them Chicago. Miami and Houston, employ similar kiosks,
 but only for Americans and Canadians.
The biggest plus of the kiosks,is the time saved can be used
 by Customs officers to talk to the visitors and assess whether
 they might pose a security risk.

  If you want to get the old view back, here's what to do: 1. Head to Gmail's settings and go to the Inbox tab. 2. Next to "Inbox type," open the drop down and select any option besides "Default." 3. Rearrange your inbox sections as you desire. *************************************** Replies to emails are at the bottom of the Senders Email To add .jpg's in same place click camers,add pic's and then upload them. ***************************************** No matter which option you choose, you'll get the old segmented inbox back. From there you can choose how many/which sections you want. You will lose the sorted tabs, though: for now, it seems you can only use one type of inbox or the other. We don't know if Google is going to eventually roll out the new inbox system as a mandatory upgrade for all users, however for the time being the choice is entirely up to you.
