An Open Letter to the Drunken Douchebag Who Pissed...
via flickr.com Dear Drunken Fool, First and foremost, I’d like to openly apologize for interrupting you whilst peeing on my car on this bright Canadian afternoon. I didn’t realize that you weren’t done when I started yelling at you with profanities and ask what the hell you were doing. In retrospect, I should have stated myself more clearly when I confronted you. It was not...

Canada placed in the middle of the pack in terms of speeds offered but fared poorly in pricing, ranking 18th out of 30 for current-generation internet and 18th out of 19 for next-generation speeds, which are 35 megabits or faster. The showing is a slight improvement from a similar report issued by the Berkman Center in October that found Canada ranked 22nd overall. The updated report, released...

The U.S. vs. Canada men’s preliminary-round showdown Feb. 21 won’t be shown on NBC, but on cable’s MSNBC at 7 p.m. EST. Instead, the Peacock will bring fans an exhilarating night of ice dancing, women’s speedskating, men’s freestyle skiing and men’s giant slalom – rather than what amounts to an NHL all-star game on an international stage. via...

…the investigation presumably focuses on the service’s more controversial aspects – namely, the way in which it automatically finds users to follow based on your email correspondence – a practice that has drawn criticism… the product “violated user expectations, diminished user privacy, contradicted Google’s privacy policy, and may have violated federal wiretap laws.”via mashable.com...

Aggregating and curating content with attribution should become part of a BBC journalist’s assignment; and BBC’s journalists have to integrate and listen to feedback for a better understanding of how the audience is relating to the BBC brand. Horrocks, formerly head of the BBC’s multimedia newsroom, finds clear words for it: ‘If you don’t like it, if you think that level of change or that...
