I recently decided to try Firefox again after this failure from a couple years back at just measly little v16. I’m now on v41 and have largely found many of the same issues, such as the fact that the ugly UI elements are still there. The tab bar is still way too tall… why do…
Read MoreThere once was a time in my pre-Mac days when Firefox was the only browser I would use. IE blew chunks (it mostly still does) and Google Chrome wasn’t even a browser yet, so anything to avoid the toolbar-palooza that was Internet Explorer was right by me. Then came Chrome, promising per-tab processes to avoid…
Read MoreBack in my dark ages of computing, when I only had a PC and I pirated just about every game and application I used, Steam was launched, promising to revolutionize the gaming industry. It did not, at least not at the time. When all you wanted to do was use a CD-Key and no-CD Crack…
Read MoreHere we go again. Another Rogers ‘experience’ in the bag and another decision to avoid using Rogers. I mentioned in my last rant about Rogers (iPhone Unlocking Policy) that I would very likely be buying my next phone outright simply to avoid being forced to keep Rogers as my carrier.

Read MoreThis is not an experience of my own, but rather one I witnessed as it went down just last week. My friend and colleague went on vacation in Florida with his Bell Canada locked iPhone. A few days in he discovered that he had been charged $0.75 for every text message in and out, and…
Read MoreUnlocking the iPhone has always been a tedious task compared to other phones. While you can easily obtain BlackBerry unlock codes for less than a dollar to enter into your phone for carrier-free calling in a matter of minutes, the iPhone requires a considerably more in-depth procedure to accomplish the same thing. It starts with…
Read MoreAll of the notebook computers at Future Shop (except Apple and Dell computers) have been shipping with French Canadian keyboards for about 2(+?) years now. They are annoying. They are restrictive. They cause typos ALL the time. Yet, nearly all of the big name manufacturers are still shipping them. Why are they doing this to…
