Okay I am not a cruise ship person but this might just make me change my mind.  You have to see the robotic bar and windowless rooms with an 80 inch screen that pretends it is a window...unbelievable!

Victoria Votes on the App Store on iTunes

Victoria Votes on the App Store on iTunes

If you are like me, you haven't had the time to figure out or research what all the candidates stand for in our municipal election.  I came across this app put out by the city of Victoria which is pretty basic but at least gives you the background on each candidate.  It is extremely handy to have this on your phone when you head to the voting booth!

I, Cringely Apple proves that moats are for dummies - I, Cringely:

It’s easy to criticize Apple on moats because from the outside looking in it appears that Apple had the lead in PCs and lost it, had the lead in laser printers and lost it, had the lead in graphical workstations and lost it, had the lead in music players and saw it erode, had the lead in smart phones and lost it, had the lead in tablets and saw it erode, had the lead in video and music downloads and saw those erode, too. Apple appears to invent businesses then either lose them or watch them fade away. No moats.

'Party of One': An Indictment of Stephen Harper | The Tyee

'Party of One': An Indictment of Stephen Harper | The Tyee:

Having been in power since 2006, Stephen Harper has presided over this deliberate erosion of democracy. He has also been an active and corrosive agent of that erosion. He has never come close to an outright majority, meaning that most Canadians still don't buy his social vision. But he has held on to his core while keeping his opponents either divided or apathetic.
