Welcome to 2020 where technology is only going to become more advanced. We're at the start of another era where the things we invent will change the way we interact with the world entirely. We have Tesla spearheading the elimination of internal combustion engines entirely from the world with their electric car designs that they have open sourced to their competitors to increase implementation. The natural reaction to that is more money is being put into developing battery technology that will ultimately benefit a lot of other industries and products that relies on a having short charge times and long lasting batteries. There are two areas in technology that we predict will have a large impact in 2020. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: AI and ML are two big issues that appears to be on both ends of a heated debate. On one end, the fear of AI replacing jobs or having the potential threat to humankind if they become too smart, while on the other the benefits prov...

The Bank of Canada is considering launching a digital currency that would help it combat the “direct threat” of cryptocurrencies and collect more information on how people spend their money, The Logic has learned. An internal Bank of Canada presentation, prepared for Governor Stephen Poloz and the bank’s board of directors, offers the most detailed public insight yet into the bank’s thinking on a proprietary digital coin. According to the presentation, the currency would be widely available. It would initially coexist with coins and paper money, eventually replacing them completely.

It's September and 2019 is only about three-quarters over, but that doesn't mean it's too early for one of the biggest business books prizes to start grinding into gear. Each year, we sift through a year's worth of business titles and crown just one the most interesting and impactful of the bunch.  The contest has just released its long list of contenders and it's basically a rundown of must-read titles for business leaders this fall.

Got an email from Instagram? Don't automatically assume it's legit. On Monday, Instagram launched a new feature designed to stop phishing attacks from hackers masquerading as the social media service. "Bad actors are getting better at imitating emails from Instagram, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to distinguish between a genuine email and a fake one," the Facebook-owned service said. At first glance, the emails from the hackers look legitimate since they use Instagram logos. They offer verified badges, claim your account has been hacked and needs to be secured, or accuse you of violating copyrights. But the scammers just want you to click a link and type your login information into a hacker-controlled webpage.

There's been a ton of talk about iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro and whether their cameras are the best in the business right now. That's something that can be debated, but what about DSLRs? One YouTuber compared iPhone 11 Pro with two cameras to see how things panned out. The video by PhotographyTalk actually also an iPhone X and that could be beneficial to anyone who skipped iPhone XS and is now due an upgrade. But the real interest is in the two DSLR cameras; a Nikon Z7 and a Sony a6400. You can check the video out for all of the example shots including both stills and video, but iPhone 11 Pro manages to more than hold its own against so-called real cameras. The shots of a beach and pier as the sun goes down look stunning even when taken on iPhone X, but there's a clear improvement when you swich to the new iPhone or DSLRs. This test was also carried out without the aid of Apple's Deep Fusion, a feature that takes multiple shots and combines them to improve f...

A B.C. granny was slapped with a $368 ticket for distracted driving even though her cell phone was nowhere near her hands. According to reports out of the Vancouver area, Randi Kramer, a 70-something-year-old grandmother who had never received a ticket in her 50-plus years of driving, was hit with the fine on Monday after being approached by a cop on foot while stopped at a red light. Kramer was sitting with both hands on the steering wheel, with her phone sitting in her car’s cup holder, when she heard a tap on the window, her son Trevor  told the  Surrey Now-Leader  newspaper . She was startled to see it was a uniformed cop, not a panhandler, as expected. “He said that it was safe driving month and he was going to ticket her for having her cellphone charging and visible,” her son told the paper, adding that his mother “went out of her way to comply with the laws.” Randi Kramer told  Global News  she didn’t think she was breaking the law and was surpr...
