The new Zune player is finally in Canada! I just tried out the Zune software on my computer to help me decide if I should get the Zune player. The software was very easy to install with just a few clicks. After opening up the software for the first time, I just pointed the Zune [...]
Continuing from the previous post, if you really don’t like Google having every last piece of your personal information (though really, resistance is futile), you could have your Outlook calendar uploaded automatically to the web in ICal format. This will still let you to let others know how insanely busy your regular engineering class schedule [...]
I’ve been playing with some calendar synchronization options for Outlook (which will come later in this 2-part post), but I came across this as I was testing my shared calendar with Google Calendar. Google had snuck in this “Google Calendar Sync” right under my nose! Synchronizing your Outlook calendar with Google calendar is easy as [...]
I went out and picked a shiny new western digital my book hard drive today since it is on sale at Future Shop. We use the older version of this external drive at work and I really like it because it is really quiet and has an auto on-off feature to make sure you get [...]
While looking up for the location of a super delicious restaurant I came across, I noticed that Google Maps had recently added little icons for all of the convenience stores to the map in Taiwan.

After installing it and running [...]

I made some other changes to my current cell phone plan though to accommodate this change, including the removal of my 5mb navigate internet plan [...]
Rogers recently introduced a $15/month unlimited Blackberry e-mail plan. This is quite interesting because when combined with the $7/month unlimited WAP browsing plan, you are looking at some pretty serious data usage for $22/mth!
SMS is so 2007. haha.
It’s still difficult to imagine Rogers and unlimited used together positively correlated in one sentence. (Read: Someone is [...]
Recently I got in on the Netvibes Ginger beta and I really like what they’ve changed in the upcoming new release. For those that don’t use Netvibes or don’t know what Netvibes is, it is basically a website that you can set up your own dashboards with feeds and widgets much like the iGoogle or [...]
Yahoo attempted to launch their live video broadcasting web service today, but they forgot that Microsoft reminded people that these guys make stuff too. The server was taken down by the traffic when it launched today; I guess they didn’t expect people to be using it. It looks like they are still making changes to [...]
