The Anti Camcording Act (RA 10088)
I highly doubt any of my readers sneak in cameras to document movies, but if you’re a fan of the flea market DVD bonanza, you’ll know what I mean. It’s no secret that movie piracy is rampant in this country, and there is definitely a blind eye cast upon this. It appears that the fines…

Toshiba’s Libretto W100 sells for PHP 72,990.00
Apparently, a Libretto is only produced once every five years. And for 2010, which is also Toshiba’s 25th anniversary as a hardware manufacturer, the Libretto was designed to be a head turner. Sure, the execs did admit that the new W100 isn’t for everyone, but it does strike a sense of elegance into the corporate…

Unboxing and Installing Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
Today is the global launch of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty. If you pre-ordered, you’re assured a copy today. I got my hands on the standard edition for South East Asia.

Midterm review: Samsung Galaxy S
It’s a damn good phone. Samsung has been hit or miss with their phones that run third party operating systems in the past few years. But after seeing their proprietary Bada OS and now, the Galaxy S running on Android, I can barely talk as my foot is in my mouth. I squeezed a lot…

I’m worth PHP 2,500.00
This was written several months ago in March ’10. It still is very timely. And a quote from the blind item blog: Who is this nobody ( I don’t even what to call him/her) who is charging companies money in exchange for people to attend their events? This nobody is claiming that he/she is very…

This yoghurt thing
Apparently Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is now serving frozen yoghurt. It’s pretty good. But despite the menu of flavors they have, I still prefer the ONE flavor that they don’t advertise: the plain yoghurt with a honey stick. Or you can be a total douche and run to Starbucks and grab two small sachets…

Hey cool, Angry Birds is also out on the N900
I really couldn’t believe it: Angry Birds is out for the N900. This is what I’m talking about — it’s not about the phone these days. It’s really about the apps and the developer community. Developed by Rovio Mobile, Angry Birds is a catapult simulator that differs from traditional releases such as Worms and Scorched…

The Panty Shield for Underwater Cameras: Leak Insure
One of the horrors of bringing a camera into the water is the fear of having your housing leak. Sure, you’ve greased your O rings and meticulously cleaned the crevices of your case from sand particles and dust. But there is that nagging feeling that something beyond your control can happen and you won’t have…

Malacanang listens to blogger’s advice
[Click to enlarge] Although in real life, the Philippines has a new president, it didn’t reflect as such on the Internet. After President Benigno S. Aquino III was sworn in, Malacanang’s website, http://www.op.gov.ph/ still had former president GMA’s face on their home page. Blogger Rico Mossesgeld noticed this and went the extra mile to “suggest”…
