Text and photos by Donny Halliwell

The Ford F-150 created the environment for adventures we otherwise wouldn’t have taken. It’s these sorts of memories that stuck with me throughout the review process. Something I’m sure long-time truck owners already know.

I’ve never owned a truck. After spending a week with the 2015 Ford F-150, that certainly may change when it comes time to purchase my next vehicle. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve driven many trucks before yet none of them left me with this feeling.There’s something special here -- something worth buying. Ford has done an amazing job creating a modern, easy-to-drive, and super practical pickup that made a truck lover out of me.

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

The coming of the ZTE AXON will be welcomed by  Canadian consumers who are tired of having to pay exorbitant prices to have the latest software or a premium built-product with all the latest bells and whistles. 

There's a shift afoot in the North American smartphone industry.

Gigantic Samsung Galaxy View tablet gets leaked online

There seems to be a market for extra-large tablets (or perhaps they’re trying to create a demand for it?). Samsung’s entering its own device into the mix with the 18.4-inch Galaxy View tablet. The device was recently spotted on Adorama and indicated it was ready for pre-order. It has since been pulled though. Some of the specs for the tablet include a Full HD screen, 1.6GHz Exynos 7580 chip, 2GB of RAM, 32GB built-in storage with memory expansion, and 2.1MP front camera. It doesn’t have a rear camera because really try taking photos with that. It also has a 5,700mAh battery and Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G LTE connectivity. It was listed for US$599. We should wait for the official launch. With a pre-order page up, it should be coming soon.
