The first stop on the three-hour walking and tasting tour was Maria’s Pastry Shop, five minutes from the Haymarket station on the T’s green line.

Companies are beginning to take note. In March, the $400 Dash Express became the first personal navigation device to communicate back to a server, rather than just passively receive information, such as traffic updates or where the nearest gas station is.

Today a car bomb at a police station in the town of Mardan in the northwest killed four and injured 30. Militants there say the blast was in revenge for the death of a rebel leader who was killed by police three weeks ago, but insist that the cease-fire is still in effect. "We abide by our announcement of a cease-fire. Today's attack was to level the score with police," Taliban spokesman Maulvi Omar told...
