Who’s the best (i.e. cheapest), and who’s the worst (most expensive), Canadian wireless data provider? Let’s say you already have a cellphone for voice calls, but want to have an internet connection wherever you go; you’re going to buy a device and want to get connected. Whom should you choose, and whom should you avoid at all costs? As always, it all depends, but the short answer is: stay away from Rogers.

I have referenced Gregory Karp's money-saving tips in the past, such as his tip for making razor blades last longer, so I was happy to see the always-frugal personal finance columnist come out with a new book, Living Rich by Spending Smart, which grabs hundreds of his penny-pinching ideas and puts them all in one tidy package. Karp makes the case early in the book that a penny saved is actually better than a penny earned, because the penny you saved is after tax while the penny earned is only

This is my first review of the food I ate today at Food Republic in a stall by the name of Express Teppan - Yaki (Restaurant). Ever since I have got my N95 phone, I have been trying to make full use of the phone features which I can leverage on for more values in my blog. So, I decided to write a short food review of my food experience today because I personally think that the food there is not really very nice… Singapore has a lot of food varieties. We are fortunate enough to eat food coo

Looks like I have to wait for some more time before I can ride my bike again.. The other day I was quizzed as to why there hasn’t been any update about my Pulsar 220. There hasn’t been any update because it’s been a month since I have shifted to Gurgaon and my bike is in Bangalore with my brother. When the part was being replaced.. a Service Guy accidentally broke one of the bolts from the left side engine cover After a few days following the second free service of the bike, it was found that

If you follow me on Twitter you probably know that I'm thinking about getting a new mobile phone. My current contract is running out in June. Cell phones are heavily subsidized by the carriers in Germany. This means you get the phones cheap but are stuck to them for 2 years. I do not talk much on my phone - but I want to use it as a mobile internet device. I will read and write a lot of emails on it and I will occasionally access the web. Having a usable data entry method is a must for

Seems appropriate for Super Tuesday. Considering his wife is up for the highest public office.

Related The CIA operation that should have prevented the Iraq war --- 02/05/08 Ted Lang There may have been some secretive, vital, diplomatic or international security reasons, or even possibly some other critical military considerations that shaped their editorial reasoning, but somehow, I doubt that any such considerations came into play regarding The New York Times’ decision to censor and spike the story first broken by the Sunday London Times on May 1, 2005.

In a review of the new NBC show "Lipstick Jungle" (check your local listings), Sun critic Brendan Bernard fires off a dizzying three-paragraph lede summing up New York's evolution from grit to glitz. It begins: "As recently as the early 1990s, New York City was still considered a relatively dangerous place to live. Drug dealers abounded on every downtown corner, muttering, 'Smo, smo, smo' ('Smoke'), from the shadows. There were, of course, a lot of vagabonds around, and squeegee men, and people

Interesting interview with Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin), Who’s Listening to Your Phone Call? Supporters of the PAA say that if these calls and e-mails were subject to the regular FISA court, it would take hundreds of lawyer and analyst hours to prepare them for the appropriate review. Listen, a criticism like that just shows no understanding of what’s going on here.

Since I got Office 2008 a couple of weeks or so ago, there have been a number of developments on several fronts – but throughout that time, I have been using the suite daily, and although I have already formed an overall opinion of it, I have been putting off writing about the individual apps because I wanted to confirm that overall opinion through daily usage and spot comparisons with the Windows edition. Which, in turn, placed me in a bit of a bind – for the one functionality I use daily (re

Today Opera unveiled its latest mobile browser, the catchily named Opera Mobile 9.5. It brings together desktop and mobile browser technology, potentially offering one of the best browsing experiences on a Windows Mobile or Symbian phone so far. We haven't tested it out for ourselves yet, which is why we're saying it's potentially the best mobile browser so far, but Opera has put up a video showing off all of 9.5's functionality and from what we can see, we're terribly impressed.

The Huawei M318 for MetroPCS is a nice little flip with some pretty basic features. The Huawei M318 for MetroPCS features a decent sized color display, downloadable ringtones, instant and text messaging, email, web surfing, calendar and alarm clock - along with a few other basic functions. So, nothing fancy, but not too shabby either.

The Huawei M318 is available now at MetroPCS for $99 with a plan agreement. Of course, your first month’s service will be free right now, so it’s not a bad deal. The Huawei M318 is definitely one to check out if you just want a basic flip phone.

And a female writer I know was another who is now spitting tacks about not having checked her email.. I dunno - I got called about 7.30pm,
