Thoughts on the New Apple Products

Apple announced a new phone, new iPad and Apple TV earlier this week.  I was a bit underwhelmed at the announcement – it wasn’t anything that wasn’t already leaked.  I was also a bit disappointed with the iPad Pro.  Sure, there’s a keyboard and a stylus (overpriced, I might add), but it would have been […]

Thoughts on the Apple Watch

As most people know, the Apple Watch was officially introduced yesterday.  Sleek, functional and available in three different styles, the product will be available in select countries, including Canada and the United States on April 24.  And yes, I am super-excited for the product.  As per an earlier introduction, there will be three versions of […]

iPhone 5 Announcement: A Disappointment to You?

The newest version of the iPhone has been announced, and it appears that the device has pretty much everything that was already leaked out. For anyone who has not been following along, the iPhone 5 will be taller, thinner, built in panorama for the camera and will have LTE among other things.  To some, especially […]

Stollery’s Going to Become an Apple Flagship Store?

This has both been reported and refuted over at Urban Toronto and Macrumors.  However, if true, it’s a great idea.  Stollery’s is old and tired and looking more and more out of place as the Bloor-Yorkville area develops.  It might for many, but with new condos being built and trendier stores moving in, it’s time […]

Delicious Quinoa, Pepper, Apple and Herbs Stuffing

I’ve been looking for a stuffing alternative for ages.  My family has traditionally made sticky rice stuffing for the Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it isn’t something that I normally keep around my pantry (and didn’t want to get just for one or two meals).  I also wanted to cut down on the bread intake, so […]

Apple Announces the iPhone 4S

The new iPhone has been announced.  The new device, called the iPhone 4S (much to the disappointment of iFans), will be available in several countries, including Canada, the US, Australia, Japan and the UK on October 14 and by the end of the year everywhere else.  This operating system, which was discussed at an Apple […]

iPad 2 Poll: Are You Disappointed?

While the lighter and skinnier device sounds great as it makes the iPad even more portable, the upcoming iPad 2 does not support or have many of what they were rumoured to.  For example, there’s no Flash support on their browser, nor are there USB or SD slots – meaning that those who want to edit […]

iPad 2 Launches – In Stores 3/11 for US; 3/25 for Canada

Cynthia Cheng Mintz Steve Jobs, who looked amazingly healthy, was on hand at the announcement today.  The iPad 2 will not only be thinner (8.8 mm thick – thinner than an iPhone 4) and lighter (1.3 lb) and faster (up to nine times faster using the same 10 hour battery life), but will be coming to stores […]
