Earlier this week, courtesy of my friends at Toronto-based innovation firm BNOTIONS, I had the opportunity to give Google's upcoming project "Glass" a spin. After about an hour of getting adjusted with the hardware by taking pictures of Bella, walking around outside Front Street and, of course, the obligatory toying with the "Ok Glass" system of voice activa...
It’s been a torrid 16+ months for RIM to say the least. However, after much delay – and seemingly out of the blue – RIM made an announcement on Monday morning that surprised everyone: BlackBerry 10 will officially launch on January 30th, 2013...

With the BB10 release date seemingly set around January 2013, this raises a major question: can the once loyal BlackBerry customers be brought back after such a lengthy downtime? Considering the average lifespan of a mobile device is around 1.5 years, most will have probably moved on to Android or iOS...
Two years after Starbucks shook up the java market by introducing free WiFi to its patrons, Tim Horton's will follow suit after a partnership was reached with Bell. Starbucks, however, is successful based on selling a lifestyle, one that the Tim Horton's brand can't necessarily replicate. Will the service fly with connected young professionals?...
Recent photo leaks show off RIM's new BlackBerry 10 Messenger, widely seen as the struggling mobile company's last great selling feature. Essentially RIM’s primary focus with BBM10 is improving battery life, with up to 75% reduced consumption, but will it be enough to restore consumer confidence?...
