Have you accidently used the data services on your Rogers mobile phone while in the USA? It’s not a cheap mistake. There are some massive add-on fees when you use data in the USA. Well today rogers introduced a new option for most data plan customers. On certain data plans, for an extra $10 you can use data in the USA at the same rate that you have in Canada. For frequent travellers this will dramatically reduce your data fee costs. More information on the Roger’s site.
If the Samsung does use the same sensor as the Canon, with it’s better lens it’s hard to beat. Let’s see what Panasonic comes up with. Gizmodo created this excellent depiction of Photoshop and how it’s changed over the years. Now 20 years old, Photoshop continues to be the “go to” tool for photographers everywhere. Full Screen Weather is a project brought to you by the weather-nerds at Weather Underground. A longtime favorite site of mine, it gives more accurate weather here-and-now. The full-screen Google Maps mashup with weather input from multiple stations on the ground gives a very clear picture of weather across the GTA. Unfortunately the Canadian maps do not show precipitation, but I hope that will change soon. Ceramic knives are known to be extremely sharp and hold their edge up to ten times longer than steel blades. Since ceramic is so tough, it takes diamond coated wheels to sharpen them during manufacturing. Use ceramic knives only for vegetables and meats that do not have bone in them. While remarkably sharp they are very brittle. Side-to-side pressure can break the blade, and hitting a hard material like a meat bone can chip it. Although normally made of a single basic color like white, this Kyocera Damascus Ceramic Knife shows a much more complicated design.
BMW just announced changes to their 3-series coupe lineup. Starting with the 2011 model year, and available in march, the new 335i comes with the new N55 engine. This engine differs from the old N54 engine by using a single twin scroll turbocharger and adding Valvetronic variable intake control. Output remains at the original 335i levels – 300hp and 300 ft-lbs of torque. Many internal and external elements have been updated in this mid-cycle refresh of the three-series – new front and rear lights featuring new LED’s, redesign front and rear fascias and side skirts complete the new look. On the interior, many of the updates received in last year’s sedan refresh are seen in the coupes. Even more exciting, is the announcement of a brand new model, the 335is. The 335is has an upgraded version of the original N54 powerplant. Still feature twin turbos, the engine now puts out 320hp and 332ft-lbs of torque. An overboost function allows the engine to generate 370ft-lbs for a short period of time. Along with the manual six-speed transmission, the 335is has an optional 7-speed, dual-clutch gearbox like the M3. To handle the extra power and boost, there is an additional radiator, oil cooling pan and stronger engine mounts. Setting the 335is apart visually from the 335i, it gets M-sport features including M-sport aerodynamics, M steering wheel, sport seats, anthracite headliner, M door sills, M driver’s footrest, M gearshift knob, and stainless steel sport pedal.
