Interesting product. What's "in it" for the mentors? The seem to be an integral part of your value prop.

Yes, that was their online sales revenue in 2019, unless you think giants like Wal Mart (with nearly 400 supercenter stores in Canada) and Costco are doing only 1 billion in brick and mortar sales. These numbers are readily available in the

Amazon.ca and Amazon.com accounted for about 10% of all e-commerce sales in Canada for 2019. I wish i had some stats for the raw # of total packages/shipments, because that's where I think Amazon's marketshare would match the

That's a bit of hyperbole. Walmart, Costco, The Bay all did more than a billion in revenue for 2019. Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Best Buy, Home Depot had more than 500 million and less than a billion. They wouldn't be doing these n

I'm in Toronto, so we have Skip (Skipthedishes) instead of GrubHub along with UberEats and Doordash 1.) Skip doesn't allow the restaurant to jack up the price, so to the customer the total cost is the same 2.) These companies toss

I'm curious as to how a basic app could replace the on demand delivery logistics / handle the volume that a platform like UberEats sends to restaurants ? Maybe my urban area is different but restaurants here are doing 10+ orders p

Condominium in Ontario (Toronto is in Ontario) is a form of ownership, it had nothing to do with the physical form of the home. You can own a condominimum townhouse (a row of single family homes with front yard, driveways, garage attached b

Well they did bring fibre to the two existing developments in the Canary District. And for a far better price than than Canadians are used to with the big 3. I don't really see a lot of innovation, they were just able to sign a 10 year

I had no idea this Google Express app existed (It's not available in my region of the world). It's a shame they force you to use it, over just adding to a shopping list in Google Keep. I was considering getting the Home Mini but n

I've used maybe 15 Android devices since it's inception. HTC, Samsung, Sony, Motorola, and "Google" (two Nexus devices and 1 Pixel). If I had to choose I would take stock Android in terms of aesthetics, ten times out of

Tap to wake usually either requires more pressure than an accidental bump or requires a quick double tap. That is how it has been implemented in the Android phones I've used so far.

This is nothing new and Microsoft has had programs like this in place from time and time (including trading in old versions of Surface / Surface Pro). As someone pointed out, it's just a re-branding of am existing third party &quo

A couple of counter points 1.) Design is subjective. I for one think while the Model S looks great, the X and 3 do not look that attractive. 2.) I really don't think "faster" really means much when are you talking about the m

Just curious, when was the last time you used a Samsung device ? A couple of points as I used to share your opinion, but I recently purchase a Edge Plus which changed my views (which while not as extreme were aligned with yours. 1.) For the

I'd argue that they aren't "so much further" ahead of almost everyone of the dimensions you listed with the exception of: 1.) potentially performance (as I'm not familiar with the true technical benchmarks of someth

Your tablet analogy doesn't hold true for the high resolution screens in phones. Android's most popular devices (Samsung and Motorola/Droid) prior to Apple's first "retina" display had higher resolution displa

Except half your list is not accurate. High resolution displays were around long before the iPhone 4 moved from their standard resolution. "Retina" is a branded term for a high resolution display from Apple. And in the current pho

It works ... after you let it load and everything reflows accordingly. Terrible first experience.

Except the new XPS 13 is made out of aluminium and carbon fibre. And the $1299 model has a 13" screen with touch and a higher resolution. And it has an i5 processor versus a Core M. It will be interesting to see how much RAM the base c

I actually started watching the live stream after they demoed Cortana but going back now and seeing Belfiore demo Cortana: - He added a show to his queue in Hulu but it stayed in the app - He said "what's up with Terry Meyerson&qu

They just did a demo of exactly what you requested for sending a new tweet. Conversational style instead of pre-defined phrases and it just sent a tweet instead of opening the twitter app.

I have the HTC One X (International Version) apart for the horrible thing that is HTC Sense 4 (apart from the camera improvements and certain dialer improvements), I've been able to root and load custom ROMS on my phone without any issues.

If they ape the Windows 8 snap view completely, it won't work in portrait. It will be interesting how they deal with installing phone apps on the tablet. They might just allow carte blanche or might require a developer to opt in to avoid is

Windos 8/RT has multiple user accounts. Android 4.2 on tablets also has multiple user accounts.

It will be interesting to see how well they can market the benefits of a 4 MP camera over 8+ MP cameras on other smartphones. I know that more pixels does not always make for a better camera, but I think the perception from the general publ

I don't always agree with Thurrott but I think he is spot on here. Google Now is the killer app/feature for Android. And from the 4 players in the mobile space right now, only Microsoft is really in a position to challenge something like Go

Sometimes that's all you need. To be to fair to them, they have added analytics, social integration, SEO optimization, etc. Disclaimer: I'm working on a service (but targeted at a specific industry) that will offer something similar as a fe

Their own website doesn't work in portrait mode on my Android device (HTC One X using Chrome) and the logo doesn't load even when I rotate the phone into landscape mode.

Can you expand on why it was such a flop with merchants ?
