For about PHP 3.3 million pesos, space seems just a step closer. This 2016, World View Enterprises will be launching capsules into the rim of space. The 4 hour balloon ride will take up to eight individuals up via a huge weather balloon and will glide down to the earth’s surface.
To put the costs into perspective, Virgin Galactic charges US$250,000 for a single trip up to space which makes USD $75,000 a more attractive package indeed.

As a Note 3 owner, I’m extremely pumped for the Note 10.1. Imagine having both devices and the versatility of Air Command but on a much bigger screen. Essentially, that’s what the Note 10.1 has to offer.
During the media briefing I learned that Samsung is pushing for Android to be considered by the enterprise market. In the past, Android (and yes probably iOS) were shunned for security reasons, which is why BlackBerry and Microsoft Exchange, although legacy solutions, were still the preferred choice in the enterprise market because of their stress on security. More about that later.
Nokia finally has a tablet. With the not-so-epic netbook product from way back then, the marriage of Nokia and Microsoft has a child – the phone manufacturer’s first Windows RT tablet.
Specs include:
10.1 inch HD display
4G LTE and WiFi
6.7MP camera
Windows 8.1 RT

Boom.
Froth.
Into the deep. You literally step in.
Then you sink.
Then sort of float up to the surface. Someone hands you the camera from the boat. And off you go.
Ah, photography. But underwater. The agony and the ecstasy of it are what contributes to the addiction.
Imagine the work it takes to set up for a shoot on land — lugging all your reflectors, lights, backdrops and what have you and set it all up on set. Now imagine having to bring all of that down with you into the deep. With SCUBA gear.
Imagine how it feels using a snorkeling mask to look into your camera’s viewfinder (I shoot with a DSLR). And it’s not just the mask that makes it harder — it’s the protective housing that keeps your camera waterproof that adds to the inches between the viewfinder and your eyes. Roughly put, it’s about a total of 3-4 inches of shooting distance between what you see in the camera and your eyes.
Now imagine doing all this while you’re running out of air.
