This is my first smart phone. So far, I've chosen to be dumb. I'm not a phone phreak/but this one is super nice and much like a computer. However, it says you can read Kindle, and I've downloaded the app, but I'll be durned if I can find my books. Anyone else have a Note 2 with Kindle...

I thought about this site for Canadians who have Kindles. Do you know if you can receive these free books from satellite? Every day I got an email similar to this one: "Today, we have thirty free Kindle books for you. I hope everyone has a great evening. Link...

I just picked up a handful of new, hardback novels, 3 by Clive Cussler for 50 cents each. Yes, they were on sale, but I opened up the jacket, and the Canadian price was $35.00. That's ridiculous! I like real books, although I do have a Kindle Fire. Many times I pay $1.00 or less for nice...

I tuned this one in because there's nothing much on TV -- and it looked promising. The one thing that annoyed and puzzled me was the fact that everyone had this strange, subtle accent. Soon, it became evident that it was a Canadian medical drama (probably a series) on the order of a serious...

We don't get a long detailed articles about Canada in our Texas newspaper. More than likely, it's on the back page. But, this one caught my eye. I tried to find any mention of it on the forums, but I couldn't. FROM WIRE REPORTS MONTREAL - The province of Quebec passed landmark legislation...

I have used Keyboard Express for 14 years, but I came to a dead standstill when I upgraded to Win 7-64. It is not compatible. I have searched for others, tried three apps and deleted all three. This is a keyboard hot key macro program. I miss it so much.:-( Anyone know an alternate solution...

I'm American, Texan, and a woman. I have been here at CC about 6 years. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask what you think about a few things. 1. Who is the more religious? - CN or AM? 2. Who has the most confusing government? - CN or AM? 3. Who pays higher taxes - all together (state, federal...

If you knew me, and if you heard this news, you'd surely give me a high five or a hug or at least a pleased comment. How about giving me some rep for hanging in this group for so many years? I've sat in chemo rooms for 3 years. I'm still here at Canadian Content after 5? 6? The news is this...

I signed up. I looked at my page. I have 7 people following me. Why are they following me? I can't see any advantage to this unless it is the internet equivalent of texting. Or throwing spitwads. What do you do with it?:?: Uncle

I was just browsing. I'm a grandmother, not a hacker. I ran across some press releases that specifically say they are not to be distributed in the US. If I can find them by accident, then someone is not too bright. I found confidential data also on Halifax, but it was so boring I didn't...

By JACKIE CROSBY, Star Tribune Last update: January 16, 2009 - 10:00 PM Unable to find a buyer or another way out of bankruptcy, Circuit City Stores, Inc. said Friday it will close its remaining 567 U.S. stores and sell off its inventory. Nine stores and more than 500 employees in Minnesota...

I was afraid this might happen: 04:46 PM CDT on Monday, October 27, 2008 Associated Press WASHINGTON – Law enforcement agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 88 black people, the Bureau...

OK, you fill in the blank. You're the experts. I went to Google, and here are a few of the first results. I'd rather have yours though. 1. Pot smokers in the industrialized world. 2. Eastern Canada has the most limited economy. 3. Of all the countries that signed the Kyoto Protocol...

In other words, I just read a string of posts that say "I'm not Christian." You really shouldn't say that in Texas. As far as we all know, either you are Christian or Jewish. Both of those are OK, but it is very risky to say that here. People wouldn't kill you, but suddenly, you'd have the...

I ran across these comments while viewing photos of Hurricane Ike. They represent what I had hoped lived in Canada. A warm heart. Now I know why I love Canada. 1. I am a Canadian but feel so sorry for all the people who lost everything they had, the problem is that it seems a yearly...

Let's suppose you are on a flight from Ottawa to Honolulu. You are sitting in the middle of the L1011. A 7 month old infant is crying and shrieking in the seat parallel to yours. This goes on and on for hours. Remember the flight from Dallas is 8 hours. From Ottawa - probably about the same...

Since I have no family and no network, I decided to simply "do it myself." I came up with three ideas that touched my heart for charities. First, I am supplying books to the elderly in nursing homes thanks to a local bookstore. I am only able to do 2, but that was my goal. This is completed...

I have been doing a book project for 2 nursing homes, and every book, hardback or paperback is priced a good bit higher in Canada. For example, I just picked up a random paperback, and it was $7.99 in the US and $10.99 in Canada. What in the world causes these books so much higher in Canada...

Will the Olympians be able to perform at their best levels with smog like this (in the daytime!): Beijing better get their act together, or there are going to be a lot of illnesses and asthma deaths at the game. Uncle

Ten years ago, smoking was the national epidemic that had the country talking. Across Canada, anti-smoking campaigns were being implemented. The bar and restaurant industry began to prohibit smoking indoors, and cigarette companies were dropped from sporting events as lead sponsors. Fast forward...
