The Globe and Mail has the scoop on a the latest acquisition by Rogers, the independent sports broadcaster Score Media. We all know "The Score" very well on TV (it is where a bunch of the sports broadcasters we see today got their start on TV) and the ScoreMobile app remains one of the most...

When Mountain Lion was released last month, the number one issue was related to battery life on Macbook Pros. Many users on the Apple support forum reported their battery draining exceptionally faster than it had on Lion. Since the release of OS X 10.8 there was one update, which was released yesterday as OS X 10.8.1....

We've withstood rumors of Apple releasing an HDTV for over a year, yet we haven't seen any legitimate leaked components. Even with lack of proof, Jefferies Analyst Peter Misek noted Apple's HDTV was in full production already last week. Many analysts have high predictions for this product, mainly sticking with a 2013 release point, but...

On Wednesday we shared with you a sweet iPhone modification kit that would allow you to transform your iPhone 4/4S into an iPhone 5 before its release. The unit costs $30.00 and simply gives your iPhone the rumored two-toned aluminum and glass appearance. It's not even a week later and a third-party with authorization to send take-down...

There has been lots of talk about Apple's 'Genius' TV advertisements this past month. The ads, which aired only during the opening ceremony of the Olympics, were not only pulled from television, but removed from Youtube and Apple's website too. The director behind the three ads, Scott Trattner, has left his job with TBWA/Media Arts Lab. So yes, this...

Apple and Foxconn have worked hard over the 2012 year to improve the working conditions of its factories. They began earlier this year by raising salaries and cutting overtime hours. Oddly enough, many workers were frustrated with their overtime being cut, mainly because the money they earn is barely enough to purchase their essential needs. This time...

Remember when we told you two weeks ago that the Google Search application would receive an update bringing Siri-like functionality? Well, it's still coming, Apple is just having a hard time approving the application. As you may have heard, the voice assistant functionality in Google Search has been seen as a huge improvement over the...

The Wall Street Journal reports a South Korean court has made a decision on the whole Apple versus Samsung patent lawsuit that has gone global. The court made a split decision, saying each company infringed on each other's patents: A three-judge panel in Seoul Central District Court said Apple infringed two Samsung technology patents, while...

As we learned a few months ago, Apple has discontinued Google Maps on iOS 6 and will instead use an in-house mapping system. Apple had brought features such as turn-by-turn navigation, traffic, and flyover to iOS. These are highly anticipated features that Google Maps lacked on Apple's mobile operating system. In Canada, iOS 6 maps...

Will Apple debut the new iPhone and a rumoured 'iPad Mini' at the same time on September 12th? John Gruber from Daring Fireball doesn't think so: I’m thinking it makes more sense for Apple to hold two events. First, an iPhone event, focused solely on the new iPhone and iOS 6. Then, the iPhone ships...

It's a new week and that means another free app Pick of the Week from Apple. Last week, we saw the puzzle game iBlast Moki HD go free, and today the new pick is IncrediBooth. The app is regularly priced at $0.99: A Photo Booth in your Pocket - Awesome Photo Strips Anywhere! Show up...

As a Canadian, the choice between music streaming services is quite small compared to the United States. Many top services such as Pandora and Spotify have yet to expand to Canada.
