The Brown sisters have been photographed every year since 1975. The latest image in the series is published here for the first time.
''He is really, to me, the worst prime minister that ever existed,'' Smith said over the phone from Manchester, pausing for a drink of water. ''Since Harper has come into power, everything has gone downhill. He has one consideration, and that is to let the rich get richer and the poor fend for themselves.''
I have been debating what my next iPhone will be. The argument in this story rings true however. I am much more willing to get in iPhone 6+ with a watch.
Cash itself is one of the cleanest, lowest friction constructs I’ve ever seen to exchange money from one lazy person to another — and that includes actual cash.
This is probably the best assessment of the market I have seen so far.
The new Hue Camera app from developer Erwin Zwart is a great example, as it brings live atmospheric lighting to your home theater setup using just your iOS device’s built-in camera.
If you are a fan of Bladerunner and were amazed as I was when it came out that it seemed so real, these pictures of the models being built is a real eye opener.
We need a Kshama Sawant in Canada......#JustinTrudeau, are you listening?
If you argue the Watch isn’t going to sell or do well, it’s worth pointing out that there are very, very, very few products that allow you to hand someone cash and be given back TIME.
This will be the Apple Watch metric to track: time saved.
It is telling that the highest-profile lawsuit of the moment in Silicon Valley isn’t about intellectual property or antitrust violations, but about sex discrimination.
The Mustard Seed is a non-profit organization fighting hunger and restoring faith in Greater Victoria. They provide many crucial services for any and all people in need. From food to friendship, they aim to meet the physical, relational, and spiritual needs of the whole person.
"What Stephen Harper is proposing is a bogus choice," Mulcair told reporters in French. "We don't have to choose between our freedoms and our safety; we have to deal with both at the same time."
Norm Macdonald was one of the many Saturday Night Live alum to return to Studio 8H this past Sunday for the show's big 40th anniversary blowout. Macdonald has been dismissed by some, and you can check Wikipedia for a list of his "awkward moments" on the show, but in truth, perhaps in retrospect, he was one of the show's greatest cast members—it's just possible that network television, even SNL, was not ready for his realness. Whatever it was, he was fired after about four years... but was eventually invited back to host.
We greeted each other, walked in, and started staring, close-up, at the lineup. When we got to the Edition models, Vincent said, with some excitement, “This is going to cost $20,000.”
After he concluded, he sat down, smiled at me in a way that only David knew how, patted me on the back, and told me to cheer up, that it would get better, it always does. It was apparent that in his eyes we were all just broken humans trying to make it through this difficult thing called life, and he wanted to do anything he could to help this broken human.
In my case I have gone to Safari on the Mac...unbelievably faster than Chrome and it has all the extensions I need including Lastpass.
This is amazing...predicts the fall of newspapers and the AppleWatch.
We will see announcements of the shutting down of the Vancouver Sun within the next couple of months and the province will continue but with a scaled down mandate and less than a 3rd of the staff. It will become little less than a delivery mechanism for Canadian Tire flyers.
Innovative in both sound and concept, Beacon present their latest five-track EP entitled L1. An intriguing title - but what does it mean? Well, clearly, the dynamic duo hailing from Brooklyn looked to the stars for their inspiration (quite literally).

This article starts off interesting and leads down to an inevitable path....but then stops. It needs an ending. Increased verticalization of searches through apps is somewhat obvious in retrospect...and Google and Apple are increasingly aggregating all these function into their OS where they can either outright purchase a service or do an integration via API's (i.e. Shazam). Arguably Google is doing this better through it's 'Google Now' functionality than Apple but not everyone is enamoured with it and find it a little bit creepy. The question is where will this end?
Excellent summary of the last year in Ukraine....the Cold War is officially back.
For all my female friends over 40!
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—Following the company’s announcement that it would discontinue public sales of the wearable technology, Google officials confirmed Monday that all unsold units of Google Glass would be donated to underprivileged assholes in Africa.
This could be huge for Microsoft....interactive AG for the world....
A very well written piece that reminds us that our "now" is not unique. My favourite line:
" For good reasons and bad, more and more Americans stopped believing in what they had once viewed as progress............Little by little, the number of modern offenses grew until we found ourselves in a 21st century where some of the most educated, affluent and culturally influential people in the country are terrified of vaccinating their children. "
This is an incredibly touching story and very well written....
It's short and somewhat entertaining.....
This is one way to solve the problem of backward compatibility...
Looks very interesting...would do well in high density cities. The challenge is whether people would be okay not being able to charge at home.......
I have to stop myself from becoming lost on the Dezeen website through hours of digging into links of architecture I find fascination. Here is there top ten list of staircases they like:
If Jar Jar Binks on his own is not creepy enough, you have to see this toy that a kid is expected to sleep with and have Jar Jar wake him/her up...this is extremely disturbing:

This is probably the best explanation of the transition that is going on in TV today. Well worth the read as Cringely has the chops in the tech industry to see these kind of macro trends as they really are:
