    Cops above the law

    Not surprising. I was in NY with a friend who is a Toronto cop, he was going a good 30-35mph over the limit. We got pulled over,he placed his badge on his lap... officer walks over to the car, glances in, smiles and says have a nice day.

    Subway maps from around the world

    The various bus-line operators doesn't have much (if any) impact on the end-user. City transit buses all follow the same system (small green or yellow bus for local service, large green bus for across the dong (neighbhorhood), blue bus for across Seoul and red bus for the suburbs. The smart...

    Subway maps from around the world

    I navigate this every day: My stop is Gangnam, the busiest single line station in Asia (over 140,000 passengers a day recently announced, that's also with it being just a 5 minute walk from another subway line that just opened). Thankfully another new line (several are being built right now)...

    Big Rock beer in Toronto?

    Funny that I see this. Last night I went to the Big Rocker Brewery pub and had a couple of pints of the India Pale Ale and a delicious poutine. This was quite a treat as I live in Seoul :) Canadian beer here is incredibly hard to find ($8 Mooseheads anyone?). So what a fantastic treat, truly...

    Pope Benedict XVI: Last Pope Prophecies

    Prometheus, not to mention the centuries worth of abuse cover-up and social and scientific oppression. Small price to pay for such grand acts of charity isn't it? One only need look at the various values promoted by the church to realize that evolution in fact is real, without it the church...

    Pope Benedict XVI: Last Pope Prophecies

    There's also a lot to be said about an organization that sends its missionaries (at their own expense) to various regions in Africa to help the poor WITHOUT condoms, or the willingness to promote them. There's always an agenda or christian ideology being pushed. For an organization that can...

    Best elementary GTA schools

    I've always had the impression that the more affluent the neighbourhood the better the public schools there were. Just like there seems to be more policing and much greater municipal level upkeep. Just go to Mississauga and look around Lorne Park, then drive on over next door to Clarkson to...

    Pope Benedict XVI: Last Pope Prophecies

    Could there be anything more irrelevant to the modern world than the catholic church? Lets just stop paying attention and elect responsible governments who can find better uses for our tax dollars. Of course the situation in the US is quite scary and Canada actually seems to be following that...

    Phone Wars

    Hmm... nice move Apple. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20014356-37.html?tag=cnetRiver How a company thinks it has the right to control (and destroy) something a consumer owns and has purchased with their own money is beyond me. If they're that worried about piracy of apps they're in the...

    who can teach me speak english

    That comment about being old threw me off as well. I'm 29 so do I qualify? I usually hear that I only look 23-24 though which seems to make it ok for 20 year olds to let me tutor them privately. Gotta love the way some people think. I'm willing to bet that a conversation with me at 29 is...

    Phone Wars

    bAuHaUs, Galaxy S is made by Samsung, not LG. Samsung has their own in house optics division and a complete line of commercial cameras which one might think would lead to a better cell phone camera in their phones since they're not using off the shelf parts like most competitors (ahem...

    Death of Clubland (aka: Is Adam Vaughan trying to kill the Club District?)

    I'm glad I was able to experience this place in its heyday, probably 1999-2005 is when I went most. I don't know how I managed to get so drunk and spend so much money in such a short time. When a club doesn't pick up until 11 or 12 and then has to usher everyone out at 2 it's a very small...

    Phone Wars

    I agree with Kristopher. My Galaxy takes fantastic pictures... for facebook. When viewed at full resolution while still great, they pale in comparison to what my point and shoot Nikon can produce. Kirstopher, LG makes some touch phones here in Korea with optical zoom lenses that spring out...

    Phone Wars

    Well the reason for this is simple, phones simply don't have the hardware real estate to devote to the inner workings required for a good camera. The lenses are micro thin and all of the processing is taken care of by the general cpu in the phone itself. That said they're certainly decent in...

    Phone Wars

    ganja, welcome to the club!!! The screen is truly remarkable and by far the best on the market. I'm curious, did your phone come with two batteries? Does Bell use sim cards for getting on their network? I know that's mostly a GSM thing but here in Korea-Japan land they use sim cards in their...
