- 15:38 Wifi iPad 1 now costs US$560 at Apple.ca . Steve Jobs is stealing our oil ! (Well, indirectly). #
- 16:06 Canadians, buying your new 15 inch Mac Book Pro from New Hampshire or Delaware will save you C$182... twitpic.com/43oo7r #
- 16:12 ...Be sure to ADD your local sales tax to that $182. So for New Brunswick, I would save $182 X 1.13 = $205.66. #
- 16:17 "Mortal Kombat banned in Australia". Now I want it. #
- 16:49 Since Gadaffi now only controls Tripoli, shouldn't sanctions only be against that city? Those Vespas in Ital! iy need oil ! #

- 04:05 @StuartOswald I believe in merit, not privilege by birth. #
- 04:14 @StuartOswald I don't want to live in a society controlled by spoiled brats. The USA has an inheritance tax, so should the UK and Canada. #
- 04:18 @StuartOswald Really? So you are saying that because the USA has no monarchy and has an estate tax, it is marksiste? Really? #
- 04:24 @StuartOswald Indeed, make your own way. Don't start out rich thanks to your parents. #

- 10:01 Canadians in Egypt are being evacuated to Germany... via Amman, Jordan. Um, why not just stop the plane in Jordan? #
- 10:02 ..."Most Canadian visitors to Jordan do not experience problems." www.voyage.gc.ca #
- 10:05 @nonpromqueen Well, if it is, than the Canadian government needs to update their travel warning! #
- 10:07 @cr0vax La frontière Egypte-Gaza est temporairement fermé, mais à ma connaissance la frontière Egypte-Israel est encore ouverte. #
- 10:19 @cr0vax Ouin, mais 400 km dans le désert fait de bien meilleurs histoires de voyages. :) #
- 10:26 The Skyling charter evacuation of Canadians from Egypt to Frankfurt would cost less if we brought Germans on the way there. Think about it. #
- 10:36 If you are stuck in Cairo, Israel and Jordan are only 8 hours by car away. Just saying. twitpic.com/3v6fmz #
- 10:46 Now that the harassment of AlJazeera is getting disruptive, who has the best non-Arabic coverage of the situation in Egypt? #
- 10:54 LOL, skip to 3! :55. I guess it is not just Egyptians that are dissatisfied with their government. bit.ly/eiNvTh #

- 11:36 "So far this winter, the most snowfall Toronto has seen in one day is 11 cm. Last winter, it was 9.6 cm in one day." Different world there. #

- 11:48 What impact will the Egypt crises have on @WINDmobile (HQ in Toronto, overlords in Egypt)? #
- 11:49 @ted_avery Rogers: parts of Ontario, NB and NF. Bell: Quebec and Ontario only. Big country. #
- 11:54 @ted_avery You can try Rogers or Bell's Wimax, aka Portable! Internet. They officially charge for bandwidth but haven't figured ou t how to. #

- 13:58 Egypt is burning. Well, not quite, but 4 channels adds a sense of urgency. twitpic.com/3u863t #
- 22:14 @ShireenJ More likely a wireless router issue. Try changing wireless channel and moving router 1 foot from anything electrical. #
- 22:21 The solution to Egypt's high unemployment? Build more pyramids! Like Vegas, good to keep things fresh. :) Dude, you are 82, time to retire! #
- 22:24 @ShireenJ Well, wireless routers don't work any better over there...and if the issue is caused by CITY TV, then it wouldn't be better there #
- 22:27 The Tunisians and Egyptians have inspired me the protest the lack of democracy at work. My boss acts like a dictator. (sarcasm) #
- 22:29 I love when people try to influence the company I work for. Private sector companies don't listen to individuals, just focus groups. #
- 22:33 @ShireenJ That pretty much proves it is NOT a DSL issue. Your phone cable isn't shared. Wireless channels and CITY computers: yes. #
- 22:37 @ShireenJ Well, the Internet in general slows down in prime time, but since you are in Toronto and so is CITY, I doubt that is issue. #
- 06:37 @ShireenJ Unless there is a major outage, Toronto Internet traffic stays in Toronto. That said, possible CITY's servers are somewhere else. #

- 00:15 @ambermac Since Target will be _replacing_ most Zellers, I'm not sure the iTunes and Hulu wish is à propos. #
- 00:18 @ambermac Um, Dunking Donuts and Jersey Shore in Miami Beach could easily pass as Canadian (for Quebeckers). #
- 00:29 @ambermac Jersey Shore is excellent. Like The Simpsons but with real people. The Miami version is especially relateable to Canadians. #
