  • Rico and I attempt to destroy an “anti-theft” bag

    When Denise contacted us and asked if we wanted to review a bag, we obviously had to ask what made this particular bag special. Like its competitor Pacsafe, these bags from Travelon are equipped with some anti-theft countermeasures that Rico and I decided to test. I actually wrote about these bags back in June but…

  • Nokia Philippines announces Asha 309, will sell for around PHP 4,400.00

    With all this talk about high end smartphones, Nokia is plowing the entry-level mass market with its Internet-enabled affordable feature phones.
