I had lunch at the Frite Alors on St-Denis the other day.

The young waiters and waitresses over there attend on customers quite friendly and professionally. And their poutine isn't bad. I recommend the place.

Sadly, the truth is that some Chinese Canadians have less etiquette than their European counterparts, especially when lining up.

In almost every movie or TV series, there are some reproachable characters.

Drinking coffee or tea is my wont.

And they do good.

一杯午夜一点钟的咖啡，一曲汪峰的《春天里》，几片好吃的 crackers。

Radical technological innovations. Embrace them or lose in competition.

The playfulness of Google's seemingly unrelated product lines makes many people wonder.

Some people speculate that the reputedly rock-solid real-time QNX OS which RIM bought up several years ago will facilitate RIM's possible encore.

I don't agree with it. RIM not only has a huge product problem, it but also has a HUGE marketing problem, because it's been forced to be enveloped in the consumer market, which is very different than the enterprise market it'd been used to, by the market shifts, especially the nascent but widely adopted BYOD policies implemented in many companies.

Some blobs in human brains must have very similar mechanisms of emotions.

Permanent competitive edges elude businesses, large and small, while customer demands almost always evade real understanding as long as they evolve.

Microsoft has revamped its OS offerings and adapted to the mobile world.

I wont to drink beer in the summer.

It surely tastes better than water and Diet Coke.

Life puts almost every friendship to small or big tests, sooner or later.

Then the rhythm and the fate of the friendship is determined.
