As some of you may know, I work in computer sales and service. More and more, likely because of Apples snazzy and smart advertising campaign, I am being asked by my customers for the difference. Personally, I prefer PC, but only because I’ve used Windows all my life, and I’m not overly design oriented. At my store however, we are authorized to sell both products, and as such, the question is a valid one by my clients. I have done a fair bit of research on this topic, and I will now do my best to present this to you in an unbiased manner, so that you truly can make your choice. Read the rest of this entry »

Recently, I have had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman (who is registered under Rizak the Horrible btw) who, quite frankly, seems to be immune to cold and has (quite possibly) the largest (metaphorical) cojones of anyone I have ever met.

You all know what I kilt is. If you dont, google it. This man wears a kilt every day, and that includes days like today. He claims it gives him the freedom of movement he so desires, and it has intrigued me. It is also, I must admit, quite stylin. So much so, in fact, that I really, truly want one. Or four.

The kilts themselves come in a few different sizes. Wee, not so wee, and frickin huge. They come from a lovely company known as utilikilts (http://www.utilikilts.com/), and they have an excellent variety of sizes, types and cuts. My personal favorite is the Jean cut or the Spartan, and honest to god, I will have one by the end of the year. I will now attach pictures of Rizac, in all his glory.

Just know that kilts are great.

We have loaned our Bell HTC Touch to a friend (who works with a multi carrier, and is currently using a Rogers Touch as a demo) so that he can do a side by side comparison of the two units.

So far what he has noticed is following:

• Bell Unit is Faster Due to the Higher Speed Processor
• Reception is Better on the Rogers Unit
• Data transmission speed is much faster on the Bell unit: comparable to WiFi

More to come as the review presses on!
