I have not added much content over the past few months and I guess the biggest reasons are finding the time and secondly the pace at which everything is changing. New android and windows tablets are announced at such high intervals that long term testing and reviews like the ones I like to write aren't feasible simply because by the time I fully test a new device and get around to writing a review it's obsolete and a new model seems to have replaced it! I could write reviews on new devices not tested for more than a few days (like most reviews I read) but those are available everywhere from youtube to various blogs. So I will try and write full reviews of products that may actually be around more than a few months (or development cycle). I plan to keep the Ottawa section as updated as I possibly can as it's still relevant to anyone who lives in the area and wants to find places to take the Family.

Mission statement
biline.ca is not affiliated with any retail businesses online or otherwise, any mention of businesses or services are due to the relevance of the article you are reading, I may endorse a product or service from time to time but only within the direct relation to the scope of the article you are reading. I have purchased all the items that are reviewed for my personal use and my reviews are based on my experiences with the product. I attempt to provide readers with as much information as possible in all my articles to allow readers to make informed decisions before they spend on a product or service. I firmly believe on full disclosure and if Microsoft was to provide me a laptop with Vista installed to review the newest operating system (and told me to keep the laptop) this information would be indicated up front and the product would probably still get a bad review (fine at least a fair review). As the actual user of the products and services I review, my opinions are based on what I consider to be important features or options, I may overlook items that others consider to be a issue. The only revenue generated through this website is the links provided by Google and I have no control over who or what is shown. That being said I also do not necessarily endorse the vender nor can I vouch for the product.
