smartphones are slowing downIt's not as if smartphones were bidding good-bye, but their popularity has been sinking lately.

Thus a report by British international marketing research company, Intersperience.

Why? Simply because the technology hasn't been keeping up with the Joneses, such as tablets, laptops, PCs, and other such paraphernalia.

What's going on? Simple: smartphones' access speed to the Internet hasn't slowed down, but all the other equipment has found ways to speed up. And since we live in the era of institutionalized impatience, the dip in smartphone popularity has been inevitable.

No. It's the high-technology you own that's causing you wrinkles.

It doesn't have to.

High-tech devices and their use anywhere, even in the midst of a five-star resort, can bring untold troubles upon you. Especially if you resort to using your credit cards and communicating with others, using WiFi services you're not familiar with.

Here are some basic instructions to keep your mind at ease (and your devices safe).

A little extra money is always a good thing.

When I was a kid, I remember my Dad getting frustrated by my continued requests for things - he would ignore me for awhile, and then would say - so who's going to pay for that?

With summer holidays soon upon us, parents are feeling the burden of their children's wants and desires for summer, but does it have to be just Mum and Dad paying for everything?

Families who want to help kids understand the value of a loonie or toonie can make a plan to help everyone lean how to save money, and create a family slush fund.

small business owners can get help from a BizPaL site Small businesses must have had it up to here with all the paperwork they've got to go through to be able to open their doors - and keep them open afterwards, so long as there is enough custom.

All that at a time when the prevailing thought is we should have gone paperless long ago.

Enter BizPaL. That's an online business permit and licence service that saves time spent on paperwork and helps entrepreneurs start up faster.

While general readers might question the need for licences and permits in the first place, they exist. And so long as we do not raise a revolution against them, might as well make the process as efficient as possible.

Gary Schaeffer dreamed of golden Italian sunshine, succulent tomatoes Caprese and picture-perfect vistas.

In May 2009, when he was set to marry for the second time, he wanted to spend a little less -- or more specifically, spend differently on an event more focused on himself and his wife-to-be.

"I had done the big wedding and gone and spent too much on other people," said the retired Goldman Sachs exec.

The working world is going through major changes - its not just the compartmentalized world of Dilbert anymore.

For most of us the path of our career led us from the mosh pit of cubicles to want the hallowed ground of our own office, with four walls and a door.

But with the continuing advances in technology and the changing views of how work is accomplished, is a cubicle or office even necessary?

Do we still need to label our scissors and staplers and have a permanent place to set up shop?

According to Marcia Mayhew, there's a new way to view the office - it's all about multipurpose and shared spaces to gain the innovative advantage.

Tesla Motors
By Rick Aristotle Munarriz
Motley Fool

Tesla Motors (TSLA) has some good news for fans of the American maker of electric cars. Tesla's Model S -- the company's first reasonably priced vehicle -- may hit the streets as early as next month.

Sure, calling the all-electric car reasonably priced is relative. The cheapest Model S is going for $49,900, and that's with the $7,500 tax credit baked into the price. Obviously that's going to price the car out of the range of most drivers. However, compared to the defining Tesla Roadster that hit the market with a six-figure price tag four years ago, the Model S is a relative bargain.


Tesla was originally not expected to begin delivering the car until July at the earliest. However, if the car is able to clear its government crash ratings test in the coming weeks, the company is comfortable in bumping the release window up to June.

Demand Speeds Ahead of Supply

If you're considering a Model S purchase, the June arrivals won't matter. More than 10,000 people have plunked down $5,000 as a deposit for the new car, and Tesla only expects to roll 5,000 units off the assembly line this year.

Folks are also starting to get in line for the Model X that Tesla has in the works for early 2014 deliveries. Likely to hit the market at similar pricing to this year's Model S, Model X is an all-electric-crossover SUV complete with rear passenger doors that open up like falcon wings.

Yes, Tesla is cool. It's also not profitable at the moment.

Let's face it, many of us suck at managing our money: we don't know the first about budgeting, we're in debt up to our eyeballs and we spend money like it's on fire.

In those cases, some of us call in the reinforcements and hire a money coach, unearthing our most shameful spending habits and our most debilitating psychological hang-ups around money -- all in an effort to correct them. With our most personal and private financial shortcomings, and all of the psychological or family issues they stem from, disclosed to our money coac these people better know what they're doing.

But the thing is...they don't have to. Anyone can become a money coach.

As the season changes, there's a flurry of activity to get ready for the warm days and (hopefully) endless sunshine.

For so many of us, a trip to the mall (or time spent online shopping) is the way to reduce the list of acquisitions needed for home and closet.

Retailers will be happy to see consumers - in a recent survey from American Express Canada, businesses such as restaurants, grocery, gas, pharmacy and apparel are very optimistic about the next 12 months, with 85 per cent of them saying the future looks bright.

But what does this mean for consumers? What's the lure for us to keep the economic flow going in Canada?

Mother's dayBy Bruce Watson
Daily Finance

Mother's Day is nearly here, bringing with it piles of flowers, an avalanche of candy, and a big boost for the nation's brunch industry. But, while the classic Mother's Day gifts are great, Sunday might also be a good day to think about taking better care of the presents that mom has already received.

Motherhood and jewelry do tend to go together: For many moms, engagement rings and push gifts are among the most valuable jewelry they own. But while these baubles are wonderful remembrances of some of life's most meaningful moments, they can also be worrisome possessions -- small and extremely valuable, they often fall down drains, get left behind, or are snatched by thieves.

For Olympic champion and sports icon Hayley Wickenheiser, representing Canada in both the summer and winter Olympics hasn't been her highest honour. Nor is it the sports arena, in her hometown of Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, that was named after her. And, although, receiving the Order of Canada comes extremely close, her highest honour is being a mother to her 12-year-old son.

Being a mother comes with the responsibility of shaping and nurturing a future generation. This is a role that she is proud to share with 9.2 million Canadian women, who make both small and large sacrifices to raise confident, well-adjusted contributors to society. Indeed, mothers are worthy of public praise.

Walmart Canada agrees, and starting on May 10, 2012, Walmart Canada is celebrating Mother's Day by asking Canadians to nominate his or her mom for the Mom of the Year Awards. Hayley will be one of five Mom Ambassadors who will determine who will be the lucky eight finalists and the winners of a $10,000 award. Plus, the overall winner will receive an additional $100,000 to be donated to a charity or cause of her choice. We spoke with Hayley to discuss the life and financial lessons that she has learned and her personal experiences as a mother.

bicycle safetyWe all have pet peeves. Now that spring has sprung, one of my major ones as a driver has resurfaced yet again; people, both young and old, riding their bikes without the equipment that could help to prevent them from becoming intimately acquainted with the hood of a car.

Basic bike safety equipment seems to have been deemed unnecessary in recent years. And, really, it doesn't have to cost a lot to ensure you and your kids have the proper gear.

The most closely watched initial public offering in years will be taking place later this month, as the Internet social media phenom Facebook gets ready to enrich itself to the tune of many billions of dollars.
Unfortunately, as USA Today explains, it's going to be near impossible for the average Joe investor to take advantage of it. While analysts differ on whether it's a wise investment in the first place, it still irks many that small players never get a chance to be part of the action. Then again, some suggest that waiting is the best strategy when it comes to a company who they believe has already seen its biggest rise in value.
