What’s new at CES?  What is the latest gadget that’s going to revolutionize the world?  Those are the typical questions one gets after visiting CES.  Well there were a lot of enhancements on products but nothing revolutionary as the tablet invasion of 2011.  2012 looks to be the year of how the tablet integrates with the rest of your consumer electronics including smart phones, TV’s, and even appliances.   

 

Here we are again, coming to the end of another exciting year of challenges and opportunities.  We are so appreciative of the relationships we enjoy with the individuals who make Canadian retailers successful.  We know how hard you work, and we hope you know we are right there with you. 

 

We have made this year’s memorial donation to Parkinson’s, in the founder of Halo Metrics name Bill Gillott, as always, and thank you for supporting us in that....

In a hair roots movement the men of Halo Metrics have come together for one epic cause.  To raise funds for male prostate cancer research and to grow the manliest mo’ of all time!
