Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
In 2013, we mentioned the low cost internet program for people living in geared-to-income housing in Toronto that Rogers was a part of. That program has now been expanded to cover Rogers’ entire service area, which is pretty nice. Rogers is investing in communities by expanding its Connected for Success program, which started in Toronto …

As a blind Twitter user, I can say without a moment’s hesitation that there aren’t many things more off pissing about the experience than tweets full of pictures I can’t possibly understand. At the best of times its annoying because I’d like to be in on the joke too, but it’s especially irritating when those …
As you sit down to go through this morning’s crop of newsletters, chain letters, Viagra ads and notifications from Facebook that someone you know even less has also commented on the post of someone you hardly know, take a moment to remember Ray Tomlinson, the man who made it all possible.

Kind of like the internet in general, only you’re forced to refer to these persistently uncritical retards as your friends and therefore have to be diplomatic when …
You know when you’re talking to your cable company or your phone company or your internet people and they’re all like “I’ve got a great offer for you. It’ll only cost you $15 per month for the first 3 months” and you’re all like “what’s it going to cost me after that” and they don’t …
When last we spoke of Bell’s Relevant Advertising Program, the one that was designed to hoover up and sell off basically every bit of your customer data and usage history,, this was happening. Several people have complained, which is nice. I don’t know how many, but it was enough to get the attention of the …
This sounds like it has a lot of potential. Imagine you’re at a concert of one of your favorite bands, and they pull out a deep cut from an early album that feels like a gift just for you. Then they bring a special guest up on the stage or play a mind-blowing cover of …
