It seems like something out of science fiction or a bad infomercial. A wearable that lowers the temperature when pressed on the skin to help the body burn more calories and, in the process, cut more fat out of those problem areas?

The 2016 7 Series is like a rolling experiment. There is so much technology packed into these particular vehicles that I couldn’t possibly cover it all in this article. Having driven a fully-loaded BMW 750Li xDrive sedan for close to a week, I came away both impressed and perplexed by the sheer volume of tech to work with.

The Big 3 — Rogers, Bell and Telus — rule the telecom land in Canada, and that reach is further extended by their respective sub-brands — Fido, Chatr, Virgin Mobile and Koodo. The differences between them aren’t very stark, raising questions over what the latter group of brands truly offer the market today.

Being “drug-free” usually references illegal substance abuse, but prescriptions for chronic pain can lead to damaging dependency as well. For those eager to try a pain reliever that doesn’t require popping pills, wearable technology and neuroscience may have an answer.

The BlackBerry Priv has been out for six months now, and in that time, it has neither steered the company’s hardware business away from the abyss nor altered the perception that the company, as a whole, was slipping into a deeper hole of irrelevance.

Currency exchange. It’s something many have to deal with, as rates fluctuate and options remain limited in moving funds from one country to another. TransferWise has now launched its iOS and Android app in Canada, and is looking to shake things up in the Great White North by beating the big banks with far cheaper exchange rates.

The LG G4 boasted one of the best cameras of any smartphone in 2015. Its successor, the G5, retains the best camera features of the previous model and adds a few others that help make the phone one of the top shooters of 2016.

It’s not a smartwatch, but rather a fitness watch? Such a term hasn’t really existed in the crammed wearable category, but Fitbit is staking its claim to it with the Blaze, a fitness tracker that not only resembles a smartwatch, but also sort of acts like one, too.

A proper desktop microphone doesn't have to cost a fortune, a fact Blue Microphones proves to be true with its Yeti Blackout Edition, which delivers everything an amateur or pro would want in a USB mic for about $190.

When it comes to Korean smartphone manufacturers, LG Electronics Inc. has watched rival Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. carve out a profitable chunk of the market – a trend the company is hoping to begin reversing with its latest flagship device, the G5.

Like virtually every vehicle GM makes, the 2016 Chevy Malibu is getting an infotainment upgrade that will include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 4G LTE and a new feature called Teen Driver.

The iPhone SE, or “Special Edition,” is really not that special. Or rather, it’s not intended to be. It’s classic Apple-style stop-gap and it will probably succeed in shoring up the company’s lineup on the lower end, though Canada is unlikely to be a hot market for the device.

Samsung’s smartphones sport some of the best cameras in the industry, and the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge take incredible photos — even in auto mode. However, for shutterbugs, the Pro mode is a must-have. It takes an already excellent camera and pushes it further, bringing DSLR-style manual controls to your smartphone

You could call MovieSwap a rescue operation for an entertainment medium of a bygone era. DVDs, those discs that helped bring the world into the digital age of movies and TV shows, still lurk in dust-covered entertainment cabinets and media racks around the world — to the tune of 25 billion copies, according to the new startup — and MovieSwap wants them.

MasterCard is partnering with Bank of Montreal (BMO) on a pilot project for the first biometric corporate credit card program in Canada and the U.S. with a rollout to consumers and other banks expected this summer.

Visa demonstrated new ways drivers can pay for gas and parking through apps that use its Token Service and Checkout online payment service, at Mobile World Congress 2016 in a concept car on the show floor.

Unveiled in January at a base price of $10,000, the Spark is effectively the least expensive brand new vehicle to offer 4G LTE and support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I say ‘brand new’ because it’s possible to get the latter two platforms with an aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, Kenwood or JVC that can cost as low as $600-$700 plus installation.

It may depend on who you ask, but if there’s one industry that seems to be lagging behind in tech, it could be healthcare. Workplace health insurance hasn’t changed a whole lot, even under the Affordable Care Act in the United States. League is a startup looking to shake the industry up by changing the consumer healthcare experience with a platform that gives employees more choice in how to spend their insurance dollars.

It’s not surprising that Amazon quietly released its Kindle Voyage eReader in Canada, considering the device launched in the United States 18 months ago. It’s also the most expensive in the company’s lineup with a feature set that isn’t vastly different from the popular, and less expensive, Paperwhite model.

Samsung’s newest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S7 and curve-screened Galaxy S7 edge, don’t deviate a great deal from their predecessors, but the incremental changes they do offer are in many of the right places.
