Editor's Note: Signing off from Canadian Reviewer

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla 

After 10 years of living and breathing Canadian tech news, reviews, and opinions, the time has come for me to switch gears and begin a new adventure.

I started Canadian Reviewer as a personal blog in 2008. I was in between jobs, having worked as an editor for university-level textbooks and wanting to continue covering consumer technology as I had done as a reporter in the writing for national newspapers and monthly magazines. The world and the media landscape has changed so much since then and my journey has come full circle.

The idea was to show how the latest OfficeJet Pro and OfficeJet Premiere printers can integrate into a small business while solving many problems for entrepreneurs. It all starts with the design, the latest HP OfficeJet printers are up to 40 per cent smaller yet pack the same high-speed inkjet printing capability as older models.

Arguing the merits of an update to iPhone SE

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

I recently re-activated my iPhone SE as I missed the device's small form factor and exquiste build quality. after updating to the latest version of iOS and installing my favourite apps and services, I marvelled at how good this two year old device still rocks.

A lot of it is iOS 12, which runs smoothly on older hardware. The iPhone SE's small 4-inch display and lower resolution is less demanding on the hardware and I found performance and battery life to be outstanding.

The iPhone SE is basically a souped-up iPhone 5 with iPhone 6S specs and an improved 12-megapixel camera. The iPhone SE, like the iPhone 5S before it, is impeccably balanced and precisely engineered. It really stands above other iPhone designs. Solid stainless steel and glass enclosure, a headphone jack and no unsightly camera bump.

The CW's 'Arrow' to conclude in 2020 after a shortened 10-episode run

All things must come to an end and the CW's 'Arrow', s show that kicked off various Arrowverse spin-offs bringing DC's heroes to the small screen (with The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and others stemming from Arrow).

Arrow/ Oliver Queen actor and proud Torontonian Stephen Amell announced yesterday that Arrow is ending its run next year in a shortened 10-episode arc. While Arrow has been one of the most solid shows, and had a rolling start (first three seasons were aces), the show and its villains are starting to feel formulaic and stale. Amell also wants to pursue other businesses and ventures out of Vancouver so it makes sense to end Arrow on a high note.
