Each OS has its own quirks. I bought a Mac in 2011 my first ever after about 18 years of Windows PCs which included about 17 years of Linux. I still use both, I even have Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.10 with Unity. Macs can be infuriating with

I figured it would be the other way around people in the south art of China, which I think is where my co-worker went, would be hot so people would be accustomed to heat. My cousin married a guy from Australia and it was funny to see the r

-20C is a nice day if there isn't any wind, a bit of humidity helps too. Today it was -3C but very windy and dry it felt like -50C after coming out of a warm office!

A co-worker of mine and his wife adopted a baby from China, he said when he and other western people went there, and occasional trips back there, they were shocked at the heat! Not the outside temperature but inside he said anywhere they w

I did use an app called iOnRoad they even sent me a free windshield mount for my phone. It doesn't record video but will take a picture when it's senses some danger such as a sudden stop i.e. trying to avoid the car in front of you stoppin

I've wanted a dash cam for years but the technology just wasn't there. In the late 90s I drove around with my JVC GR-DVM70U miniDV camcorder on a tripod lashed into my back seat. No I can have 1080p video from my cellphone mounted on a win

Sometimes you win against cancer but you lose from something else. A co-worker of mine, Nick, in his 20s had Hodgkin's disease was doing well but then suddenly died of pneumonia. The bathroom urinals will never be the same without hearing

An (really?) "ICE" aka internal combustion engine isn't limited to gasoline it can also burn alcohol, natural gas, propane and I'm sure many other less smelly fuels. Diesel is another but it's a bit smelly although I was behind a Mercedes

The other night there was something on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp) about a Canadian guy visiting his wife/girlfriend in the US. US Customs took his aside and was't going to let him pass (no surprise) but let him through but told him h

On Rick Steeve's travel show on PBS it was interesting to see in Nordic countries the biggest buildings were city halls but in Europe it is pretty much always a church. That really shows you how even hundreds of years ago how different the

When I took flying lessons the hard part for me wasn't the landing or take off it was straight and level flight. I would often find myself too high or in a shallow dive or a turn so my instructor would have to mention it to me. It's not in

Anyone I know who talks about Blackberry never says RIM or Research in Motion. I even suggested it once over at reddit in /r/blackberry that RIM should just change its name to BlackBerry but was down voted into oblivion. Now there's a post

When phones started being sealed i.e. battery not removable I thought wouldn't it be interesting to have a phone with displays on the front and back. Not eInk but full displays on each side, don't ask me why.
