I love computers. I really love them - and I owe that love to my uncle who bought the first computer I ever touched back in the mid 80s. I was fascinated by it and I still remember the moment my uncle told us that he bought one. It feels like yesterday,...

Telus (TSE:T) has announced 2 very important news today: 1) It's cutting 1,500 positions across Canada, and 2) It'll give a dividend of 44 cents a share early January (up about 5% from last quarter's dividend). Let me do some analysis...

Sometimes I search Twitter to find up-to-date information about something. Just right now, I was searching for a stock, and as usual, I was bombarded with spam in the search results. Spam was about 80% of my search results - literally. I started...
