Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
It appears Bell is taking another crack at the tracking every customer’s every move thing that went so well a few years ago. And though the end result still sounds like a whole lot of garbage from a consumer point of view (there’s still nothing in it for customers aside from ads the company thinks …

2019 seems to be getting off to a rather 2016-like start on the celebrity death front. Mean Gene Okerlund and Super Dave Osborne both died today. Both were 76 and awesome in their own ways. Mean Gene is the best wrestling interviewer I’ve ever seen. He had a way of making bad promos decent and …
I’m still no fan of the way Rogers has treated Bob Cole, but at least there’s been a wee bit of good news on that front. He’ll be sticking around to call an additional six games, winding things up on the final Saturday night of the season by calling Leafs vs. Canadiens. I still wish …
The Comedy Network says it will stream all 11 seasons of The Big Bang Theory, starting Saturday, Dec. 22. In the midst of its 12th and final season, the channel will air the series non-stop through the holidays, wrapping up on Sunday, Jan. 6. I’m glad they announced this, because otherwise I would have had …
Not sure about anyone else, but I’ve about had it with the new Best Buy commercials, the ones that say stuff like “hey Google, play my New Year’s playlist.” The damn things have set our living room Mini off at least four times already. And to make matters worse, it was four times in the …

This sounds like a neat idea. I wonder if they’ve factored accessibility into it. Controlling it via remote is probably out, but assuming they actually took the time to code and label things properly, using the app could work. I hope they did take the time, because Carin loves the show and trust me guys, …
TSN just put out the broadcast schedule for this year’s World Junior Hockey Championships. I’m going to stick it here for you guys and for me, because I have a terrible memory and I’m sure I’ll be needing to find it over and over again especially with so much going on over the holidays. And …

If you think local radio and TV aren’t so hot now, just wait until Bell, Rogers and Corus hear about this. China’s state-run press agency has created an ‘AI anchor’ to read the news Nope, that’s not creepy at all. Nuh uh. Seriously, even as a guy who listens to screen reader voices all day, …

I’ve never met KUSI TV meteorologist Dave Scott, but after watching the poor guy struggle through this live report from an inflatable toy festival/race of some sort I kind of feel the urge to track him down, give him a hug and tell him everything is going to be ok. Seriously, if someone has ever …
