    With CEOs Swapped Out, Future of RIM Still Uncertain

    No kidding. As sad as it is, RIM was a company Canadians could be proud to brag about. We have a lot of big companies in Canada, but all of them are now owned by American companies :mad:

    With CEOs Swapped Out, Future of RIM Still Uncertain

    BlackBerry fans have had good reason over the past year to be seriously concerned about the company, and with the recent stepping down of both company CEOs and the ushering of a new one, things are not looking much more positive than before.

    YouTube Surpasses 4 Billion Video Views Per Day

    When Google purchased YouTube back in November 2006, did anyone expect that in a mere five years, the site would become the third most visited on the Internet? Though video-sharing sites are now a dime a dozen, looking back, Google had to have known what video was going to become, and given...

    Q.U.B.E. Review - It's No Portal

    It's easy to compare Q.U.B.E. to Portal at a quick glance, but in reality it's a much different game. The main focus is on puzzle-solving, but the puzzles here are solved by manipulating blocks in order to achieve some objective to open the door at the end. And in terms of sheer difficulty...

    Whats the consensus on using a seperate company for domains.

    1&1 should be avoided at all costs. Total shit company. They managed to rip me off on an invoice once also, and I only had a single domain with them. That said, I am not sure who to recommend. I go with Neosurge as I've been a long-time customer, but their focus is more on VPS, not domain...

    Intel Reports Record Year for Revenue: $54 Billion

    We posted earlier this week that Intel might experience a hit to its sales revenue during 2012 due to the timing of Windows 8's launch, but putting that aside for the time-being, the company has just announced its best-ever year-over-year financial report. In total, the company reached $54...

    Coca-Cola Retains Top Spot for Most Valuable Brand in 2011

    Even without a list I'd say that Apple is the world's most valuable brand. Samsung releases a phone, no one gives a damn. Apple releases a "second edition" iPhone and people go nuts. Apple has a power that most companies do not.

    Time is Running Out Fast to Speak Out Against SOPA

    Ahh, I was wondering about that. Waiiit. The US owns the rights to ".com"? That seems a little ridiculous given most of the entire Internet uses that extension. That makes things even scarier. I agree... it's the idiot webmaster that made that goof, not this idiot politician. Even so...

    Get your phasers out nerds. Star Trek Online went free to play!

    Hmm, I thought STO has been F2P for a while? Well, a couple of months at least. It's interesting how a lot of companies are going this particular F2P route, with premium accounts. Lineage II just went F2P, but there's nothing like that. Instead, the company just hopes to sell lots of in-game...

    For about as long as credit cards have existed, there have been companies that have worked hard to figure out the best possible methods of keeping their data safe.
