The first Planet Earth was a incredible visual feast. The trailer for the sequel looks just as amazing.

Really interesting article about the industry’s search for natural alternatives for the colors found in many of our favorite foods.

This is the typical long, technical and very well done review from the folks at AnandTech. Settle in for a while to read more detail on the new phones than any other publication can manage.

It’s unclear how much of this can be put down to general (possibly misguided) fear of what might happen versus there being an actual threat or possibility.

Certainly the death knell of the Galaxy Note 7. The next question is, how will it affect Samsung’s brand and sales going forward?

I miss album cover art more than I miss the sound of vinyl.

This may be unnecessarily paranoid but sometimes it’s better to be safe than sorry. Or at least in the case of this app, aware of what’s going on.

In the grand scheme of things, this is a minor problem but it is an incredible annoyance to those of us with foul mouths.

How much fun would it be to have one of these presses? I’d be crushing things all day long.

One of the problems we Canadians have always had is that of “national identity”. Even if you’re not Canadian, it might be fun to see where you might fit in this wonderful country. In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a “Permissive Reformer”.

Like many things, the Nobel is a product of its time. Does it need to be updated to reflect the 21st century and not the 19th?

These kinds of studies and surveys are what I magine Apple envisioned when they created the infrastructure for these apps.

My friend Sly has been a lifelong fan of Bruce Springsteen. I’m so happy for her to have been able to meet him, even if for only a few brief moments. Read this story and ask yourself, what hero/idol would you like to meet? Or do you believe it’s true you shouldn’t meet your idols? I’m very glad Sly met hers.

I can definitely say this was the first album that showed me the power of music. The whole thing is utterly incredible.

It’s set up as a really annoying 50 page slideshow but the photography is spectacular.

This is how the Canadian public broadcaster explains the US election process to my fellow Canadians.

Fascinating story of the behind the scenes process. Good to see Apple taken a more measured approach. Rather than yanking the app, they contacted the developer to request changes be made.

It doesn’t work all the time, every time like a DSLR does but, for the vast majority of people who don’t lug around a DSLR every day, Portrait Mode will work just fine for them.

Those are big science-y words. If you live in most of Canada or in the most northerly parts of the contiguous United States, as well as parts of northern Europe, get outside tonight and look north to see this spectacular sky display.

As a guy who loves behind the scenes type stuff, this is really tempting.

As a proud Nova Scotianer, every time I see images of the Bluenose II, I well up a little bit. The first image in the linked story literally caused tears of happiness at seeing two of the most iconic images of Nova Scotia. I was lucky enough to be a deck hand one summer, an experience I’ll never forget. It’s a beautiful ship with a wonderful back story. If you ever get a chance to walk its deck or go sailing on it, you won’t regret it.

I had a girlfriend in college who would have been really good at these competitions. I hated her.

Many people, including my good friend Sly Marton, are incredibly excited to see this interview and to read Springsteen’s new memoir.

Like many of you, I read and was enamored of the novel and movie as a kid. I’d heard of Selkirk’s connection but didn’t realize it was mostly false.

China is extraordinarily important to Apple. This is the first in a series of these kinds of investments.

I love racing. I prefer MotoGp motorcycle racing but I like watching F1 as well. I knew about the gearshifts (obviously) but I had no idea the driver was doing so many other things during a lap.

This might be minor or it might be significant, depending on how the information is being used. Regardless, it’s a peek behind the security curtain that tells us we may not be as secure or “hidden” from prying eyes as we would think or hope.

Apple may have come out on top but its position isn’t as rock solid as it is with their other products and services. They still have a lot of work to do.

More than you ever wanted to know about power adapters.

From the looks of the location, Apple will have a lot of work to do in renovations but it looks like a great building to work with and in.
