Apple's most highly sophisticated OS yet? Cupertino would have you think so, but as with any major update, there have been plenty of quirks to work through in the months following the introduction of Lion. For those of you who've made the 0.2 leap from 10.6.8 (or from further back, actually), we're interested in learning how your overall experience … [Read more...]
Some Occupy Vancouver protesters say tone starting to change, but vow to stay
October 22, 2011 by
As the "Occupy Vancouver" demonstration moves into its second-week, some on the lawn of the Vancouver Art Gallery say the protest's tone is beginning to change. This food cart owner on Georgia Street says she's seen a 50% decrease in business since the tent city popped up. "They actually weren't very accommodating, they didn't want us to … [Read more...]
How would you change HP’s TouchPad?
October 17, 2011 by
Not like it matters much now, but hey -- why not, right? HP's TouchPad was tossed into the closeout bin just over 40 days after it initially went on sale, and it actually served to be a spark for the eventual webOS fire that still seems to be smoldering. When we tested it -- and before we knew HP was about to demolish its operating system in the … [Read more...]
99 per cent hunkering down in bid for change
October 17, 2011 by
Like so many other cities around the world, protesters here are in it for the long haul as Occupy Vancouver enters its third day. Mark Henry, who has set up a tent outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, said he’s willing to camp out as long as possible in support of anyone living “from dollar to dollar” during the global economic crisis, which … [Read more...]
How would you change Dell’s XPS 15z?
October 14, 2011 by
It's the slickest mainstream machine to emerge from Round Rock in years, and outside of the short-lived Adamo XPS, it might just be the most beautiful Dell laptop from the past decade. It's the XPS 15z, and it's winning the hearts of folks who were previously dead-set on HP's Envy line. We obviously found favor with our review unit, and we're … [Read more...]
How would you change HTC’s EVO 3D?
October 10, 2011 by
A 3D phone? Who woulda thunk it? HTC would have, and the EVO 3D is the product of its labor. The jury's still out on whether 3D will end up being more than just some over-marketed, over-sensationalized fad, but judging by the sales of this thing on Sprint's network, someone is into the concept. We saw it as one of Sprint's stronger Android … [Read more...]
How would you change Samsung’s Chromebook Series 5?
October 6, 2011 by
It's compact, it's cute and it's weird. But it might be your perfect netbook. Google's Chromebook family isn't apt to ever be an end-all solution -- particularly for those that aren't married to the company's suite of web-based products -- and we're pretty sure Samsung's taking notes on how to make the eventual followup to the Series 5 even better. … [Read more...]
Redford says change is on the way in Alberta
October 3, 2011 by
EDMONTON - Alison Redford, set to become the first female premier of Alberta, downplayed the gender issue Sunday, saying party voters marked Xs not for an X chromosome, but for a broader desire for change. "A little bit of what happened yesterday was that our politics caught up with who we are," Redford told a late morning news conference, about … [Read more...]
“Tintin,” “War Horse,” “Mission” Change Dates
September 29, 2011 by
The Christmas film schedule has undergone a bit of a minor shake-up today with Paramount and Dreamworks altering their release plans for three films opening late December according to the trades. First up Steven Spielberg's double hit of "The Adventures of Tintin" and "War Horse" have both moved up several days. 'Tintin' will now open Wednesday … [Read more...]
How would you change HTC’s Droid Incredible 2?
September 25, 2011 by
It's borderline crazy to think that we posed this very question about the original Droid Incredible in June of 2010, yet here we are again. Same question, different day, and (mostly) different phone. Verizon Wireless has been pumping out Android devices like it's its job -- and really, it sort of is -- and HTC's DI2 is certainly one of the more … [Read more...]
