I'd place it in the hands of habit. We're used to dealing with strange keyboard symbols (like %@*# - and having them mean something). Personally I find that I use dashes far more than any human should while writing (but like oth

When I learned to drive I was taught to always drive defensively - basically to avoid situations that could result in the 'chance of a risk of an accident'. Sure, 16-year old me and my friends joked about the terminology but the

$125/household - that's an amazing deal. We're blessed with some high-quality programming from the CBC here in Canada but would happily bump in a contribution to add BBC to the mix.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection has been available on Windows Phone for quite a long time. Actually many of their casual games are available as universal apps on Windows 10 desktop/mobile. Runs very well on my Lumia 950 XL

And even then the benefits to ignoring the warnings for companies is still pretty powerful. VW may have been caught and punished in the US but here in Canada they are still dragging their feet with any mention of compensation to victims a

At the time I wrote to one of the team members who worked there (maybe a Program Manager - I forget exactly) and they sent me a beautiful book showing off each of the fonts with a description of why the font was made, how it achieves the go

There are always lines to be drawn - this is "in" or this is "out". Are performance enhancing drugs in or out of Baseball? What about catamarans in the America's Cup or Oscar Pistorius' running blades. Or mo

Could be. If they don't want to compete solely based on price. Or don't believe that price is their strong point. There are many reasons to compete on price but just as many reasons to not compete on price including service, s

I "own" a Nest Protect alarm. I liked it and was planning on outfitting the rest of the house with them during renovations this summer. I will not be buying any more Nest products/services now. The risk is too high to have

Thank You!! This is the best news I heard all day. I loved MS Money and only moved away because I thought it was inevitable. I didn't know about this option.

And not just any part of Toronto - High Park. They were pretty well off to start with going with that as the base. Good for them on using their money to fund a great learning/growing experience for their kids.

I loved my local Canadian Target store while it existed. Probably for some of the reasons it eventually went out of business... Target was always easy to shop at - nobody else was there - I could walk down any aisle and not have to deal wi

Just a few weeks ago Vimy Ridge Day popped up in my calendar as a Canadian holiday - I asked around and although everybody knew of Vimy Ridge nobody in my group of contacts realized it was an 'official day'. This was in Toronto.

At this point I would consider it in line with what they did for Windows 8. For the first while after release it was possible to upgrade from Windows 7 for $15. This looks to be an embrace and extend :) of their own idea.... Now free for a

Hearing Fahrenheit in Toronto does surprise me on the few occasions that it happens (usually either retirement-age seniors or American visitors). Recently I noticed the medical profession has come on board with cm/kilos for measurement

First: Thanks for launching on WP8 - I see you've already launched it on other platforms so hopefully adding WP8 to the mix was relatively easy. - your app is currently using the default Unity logo in the app listing once a user downl

You may also want to reconsider your pricing structure. At approx $5 to get the full game I do wonder why I should bother doing the Kickstarter. You didn't mention the non-Kickstarter price so I'm going to assume it will be appr

Unfortunate. I use Windows 8.1 every day as my main OS on both a traditional desktop and on a Surface RT. I had no idea that Firefox had a Metro version available. And I happen to use Firefox as my main browser on my desktop. I would hav

This is quite the fun tool. I know web apps are all the rage but really would love to see this implemented as an MS Word plugin - I'd be far more likely to use it on an ongoing basis if it were integrated directly into my editor of ch

This is likely the first of many personnel moves at Microsoft. ScottGu is favourably looked upon by the dev community so this move is likely to be well liked by the .NET, Azure, ASP.NET, and Windows Phone coders out there. Congrats and hop

I'd be more inclined to give Google a bit of leeway here if they hadn't already pulled out some petty behaviour against Windows Phone. This is somewhat similar to Google's blocking of Maps from the Windows Phone web browser.

In my final year of University I decided to write some basic shareware that was helpful in creating your own custom theme for the recently-new Windows 95. After completing the app I put it out there to the shareware community. I attached a
