My Faves From CES 2015

I have been watching CES 2015 like a hawk. This is by far the coolest year for technology and future advancements. I couldn't be more excited to see all the new innovations from some of the leaders in the industry. Here are my favourites as it relates to the wireless world:

Digitsole

 Digitsole is a Bluetooth enabled ergonomic sole for your shoes. These soles not only are really comfortable, but also count your steps and calories as you walk on them throughout the day. This is quite possibly one of the most accurate ways of tracking since it's your feet literally doing the walking. Another great feature is the ability to heat your feet via the Digitsole application which is available on both Android and iOS (Windows soon to come). The temperature can be modified through the app as well.



Petcube

If you are an animal lover like myself, you will love Petcube. It's a digital box that sits in any room of your house and monitors your furry family. You can see what they are doing throughout the day via the Petcube app downloaded on your smartphone or tablet. That's not the best part. There's a built in laser pointer so you can play with your pets from the office. Simply tap on your phone's screen and the laser pointer beams a light to the location.



BMW Park Assist

By far the coolest gadget I have seen so far is the Park Assist via BMW. This product does a lot, but the show stopper was the ability to "Self Park" via voice commands on a smart watch. To explain it better I have provided a video VIA The Verge

Thumbs Up, Phones Down

During this upcoming holiday season we are reminded to be careful on the roads, this starts with putting our 100% focus on what’s in front of us. TELUS and KELCOM have partnered with the WISE program to remind our customers and local communities of the danger of distracted driving. Did you know that drivers engaged in text messaging on a cellular phone are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash event compared with non-distracted drivers? There is one person injured in a distracted driving accident every 30 mins in Canada. These numbers are staggering and should be taken seriously. We’ve all done it; sending text messages, changing music, sending Snapchats while in the car. I know what you’re going to say, “I only do it at stop lights”. Well here’s some legal facts about distracted driving in Ontario that you might be surprised by: It doesn’t matter if you’re on a highway or stopped at a red light - distracted driving could cost you.

How To Tell If Your Smartphone Is Virus Infected

Image
I often have customers come in to the store with the fear that their smartphone has been compromised by malicious software. Although viruses are more common on desktop computers, they still can exist on our mobile devices including smartphones and tablets. How Do You Know If You Are Infected? One good way to tell if you are the victim of a mobile virus is an unusual increase in mobile data usage. If you are a moderate data user and one month you get a bill for massive overages, this could be potential virus behaviour. A mobile virus has the ability to rapidly drain your phone's battery, delete personal data or even take control of certain features of the device. Depending on which virus it is, it could potentially send unwanted text messages, make long distance phone calls or take unauthorized videos and pictures using your camera! How Do You Stop It? Best case scenario, do a factory wipe. There are plenty of applications that claim they will remove viruses, adware and ot...

iPhone 5c in Review

Image
I know it's been a while since the release of the iPhone 5c and 5s, but I finally had a chance to get one in my hands and try it out. I am 100% with you when people say "It's the same phone" and for the most part you are right. I decided to challenge myself to see what is the different between the iPhone 5c and its predecessor the iPhone 5. I won't go over the obvious similarities such as processors, screen size, etc, however I will go over the main differences that benefit myself and may benefit you as well. Materials One of the most controversial changes to the iPhone, the plastic backing. People joke that the iPhone 5c is a iPhone 5 with plastic melted on the back. I assure you, the shape of the back is different, more rounded and most importantly lighter. This isn't the same plastic that your rubbermaid containers are made of, this is polycarbonate plastic. This is the same material that is used in bulletproof glass and the cock pit of large pl...
