I'm a Canadian

Something to note that although many of the things I say are local specific meaning that there are certain legal/technology limitations that I must accept as a Canadian.  These are:

We are metric (although imperial measurements still weighs heavily on many things)
CableCARD's don't exist in canada (and doubtful that it will ever be)
We have a Celluar Mobile monoply among 3 big players and they know it.
We are not the US, (obviously) but it's important to understand when importing things from the US
Like the US we normally use UMTS/HSPA 850MHz and/or 1900MHz for a cellular services
110V if you want to be picky and that's also a US thing

Welcome,

This is in fact a public yet private space. I have a love hate relationship with technology, consumerism so my future posts will reflect that.

What you read here is my opinion on various technologies that I'm waiting for and or want to spit on because of the fact that consumers are not really informed. I'd like to change that in my own way.

I often say to people to ask happiness is not the goal of life as it is fleeting. I realize in myself I have desires to acquire things for no other reason then to consume and in a way say that I've got a real bargain.

As we make choices in what we consume we are in many ways continue to be the part of the problem, in terms of the environment and even the surroundings that you may or may not want, this also includes what we do with our minds.

Contentment is my personal goal be it in the simple environment one creates or a convoluted one that many find ourselves trapped in.

I share my little slice of insight to all things ConsumerIT in hopes that you can make an informed decision and know what you are really buying.
