As more and more deals are available online in Canada, where will you choose to do your shopping this Boxing Day?
Of course, there is the option to miss sleep and line up at 1am to wait in line for stores to open. Here's a video from a Montreal Futureshop's door-opening on Boxing Day several years ago.
Are the sales in-store really that good that you'll forgo some or all your sleep to line up in the cold, followed, of course, by a rampage to get to the item you want when the doors finally open?
Or, will you choose to stay in the warmth of your home and browse sites like Amazon.ca, BestBuy.ca, and Futureshop.ca to snag deals without dehumanizing yourself?
Let us know what your thoughts are, and don't forget to let us know which deals you get!
Making light of the #Christmas season, Apple managed to get the big man in the red suit on camera, using their latest iPhone, the iPhone 4S. The commercial features Santa using the phone's flagship feature, Siri, a voice-controlled virtual assistant as he goes about the earth delivering presents.
Two of our team members have the iPhone 4S, and are loving the Siri feature.
Do you have a smart phone? Is it an iPhone, or something else? Let us know what you think about the virtual assistant feature in the comments.

It's that time of year again. Snow, santa, family gatherings, Christmas parties, nativity scenes, presents, Home Alone, egg nog, caroling, sledding, and pine trees indoors. Christmas is here!
At Intrigue Media, we love this time of year. In the spirit of the season, we thought we'd share some of our team members' favourite Christmas things with you. (The pics were taken during #Movember, which is why the men are mustachioed)
