This month, on our anniversary, I'm proud to say that getting a great deal at Hotwire is easier than ever. New site design and features Our site is better. We've got a new look and expanded help features that make it easier for you to get better travel deals. Today, our specially negotiated Hot-Fares(sm) and Hot-Rates(sm) are lower than they've ever been, saving you even more on travel.

You'll also see the amenities each hotel offers before you buy, so you can choose the one that's best for you. Getting the right hotel at the right price has never been easier. So check out our site and let me know what you think about the changes. And as always, if you need immediate assistance with your travel plans or purchases, our Customer Care team is ready to help.

It means that any business that want to can snarf the data, legally. I recently bought a car - every dealer photocopied licenses before handing us a movable, disposable asset worth several $10^4k to take away for a test drive. I'd have been suprised if they hadn't. All this does is provide the LEOs with yet another line in the laundry list of violations they paste on accuseds, to up the time in jail if they manage to get a conviction. Peter Trei
