How Badly do Canadians Want an iPhone?

By Mark Evans | Published: June 30, 2008
Now that the dust has settled on Rogers’ voice/data packages for the 3G iPhone, the question is how badly do Canadians really want the iPhone, and how many of them are willing to pay for the privilege? Casting aside the entry-level $60 plan as a non-starter (150 voice minutes during the day is a joke), the [...]

The Digerati’s Love Affair With Friendfeed

By Mark Evans | Published: June 29, 2008

Sorry, the Mouse is Not Dead

By Mark Evans | Published: June 26, 2008
A few weeks ago, my mouse died so I purchased a new, wireless one made by Logitech.
