Nokia Booklet 3G: The “NokiaBook” is coming!
Boy I would love to get my hands on one of these. It would seem inevitable that Nokia would venture into netbooks, having built the N770 Internet Tablet years ago. But I guess the reality of building an actual netbook (the “NokiaBook”) would seem to stray from their core competence. However, recent developments in the…

When I was little, part of my routine with dad would be to accompany him to the office. Going to office with dad was considered the highlight of the week. This was mainly because dad’s office always had the most advanced computers. When he was working in Makati, he had one of the first IBM…

Nokia E52 Pricing and Difference with the E51

It’s Ciara this August
I sent her a Facebook message. Hey Ciara, I’m flipping through the latest ish, hot off the presses, I said. She replied, and told me she was nervous as she hasn’t seen the article. I said: The article written by Aldus is as always brilliant. If you’re wondering if it it follows the usual “what…

Celebrating my right to be left handed!
Sure I may have had a harder time writing into Corona notebooks in school, struggling with right-handed scissors, and drinking from right handed cups (you know, the ones that have text visible on the inner rim only when you hold the handle from the right), but I’m proud to be part of that 7% of…

The #1 Reason Why I Like Google’s New Search
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would have noticed that Google is road testing a new version of their search engine. Not only is it faster, the results are also different. Should be interesting to see how this unfolds in the next few months. But going back, the cheap-ass reason why I like…
