Art of Fusion: a stress-free day trip with new 2017 Ford Fusion Energi Platinum

 

By Sonya Davidson

The summer has been spectacular, hasn’t it? It’s been filled with travels near and far for the past couple of months and more experiences to add to my personal bucket list. One of the most memorable day-trips out of the city was dubbed the #ArtOfFusion. Fusion to many of us means taking the best of two or more worlds. This trip was certainly the best of several realms from technology, art, and yes, food. 

A recent outing with Ford Canada had me rediscovering the rich Canadiana landscape peppered with mindful moments in the new 2017 Fusion Energi Platinum. A full itinerary that catered to more lifestyle focused writers gave the opportunity to explore the vehicle in a more everyday approach. Going in with an open mind that suits the needs of everyday drivers was apparent since not much “selling” of the new vehicles happened on this day-trip. We were very much in a  “see for yourself” mode.

Facebook experiments with showing highlights of your friends’ status updates

Facebook likes to play around with its News Feed and we don’t all get to see these experiments. One example has been spotted by Mashable. There is a new box roughly the size of an image post with the title “What friends are talking about” showing a few status updates and image previews from some of your friends. They saw the feature show up on an Android device. The section also shows how many comments have been made on that specific update.

While you may or may not be able to see this feature in the future, it seems like Facebook is trying to get you content you might care about more. As big as the social network has gotten, it’s been a bit trickier to get you connected to the people that matter to you.

Huawei and Google might release a new 7-inch tablet

Did you love the Nexus 7 as much as we did? There might be something similar heading our way next month. Tipster Evan Blass a.k.a. @evleaks has revealed there supposedly will be a new 7-inch Android tablet coming out “before the end of the year,” which will be made by Huawei and will come built with 4GB of RAM. There haven’t been that much information about this new tablet but clues such as Huawei taking out a trademark for a “Huawei 7P” earlier in the year might point us to this collaboration happening again. The Nexus 6P was considered a hit among tech journalists. And if the two team up again, we’re hoping they create another stellar device.
