Well, Wolfram Alpha — which is a service run by math geniuses has released an app that allows you to take a very detailed look into your personal Facebook profile:
And today I’m excited to announce that we’ve developed a first round of capabilities in Wolfram|Alpha to let anyone do personal analytics with Facebook data. Wolfram|Alpha knows about all kinds of knowledge domains; now it can know about you, and apply its powers of analysis to give you all sorts of personal analytics. And this is just the beginning; over the months to come, particularly as we see about how people use this, we’ll be adding more and more capabilities.
All you need to do is head over to the Wolfram Alpha site, sign up and connect your Facebook account like how you would do with any service. Or, simply type “Facebook report” into the Wolfram Alpha search query. While you’re there, you might as well play around with the service — WA computes for anything so you can ask for information like give the travel time between the USA and the Philippines and it goes as far as telling you what % of the circumference of the earth you’ve traveled.
If you’re active on FB and want to give advertisers more data about your personal profile, this is rather useful. For kicks, here are (some of) my personal Facebook stats:
There’s a lot of data available and the results may actually surprise you. The service is completely free but you can upgrade to the PRO version to get more customized functions when exporting data.

For those unfamiliar, Microsoft has bet their entire farm on this new user experience by unifying all their commercial products (except the XBOX) into a single user experience in the form of laptops, tablets and smartphones. Windows 8 runs on the “Surface” ATIV PC and ATIV PC PRO. It also runs on the ATIV tab. For smartphones, the latest iteration of Windows Phone 8 runs on the new ATIV S.
No pricing as of late but you absolutely need to check these new products out. I’m particularly excited for Microsoft as this is the proof of concept they bet on and the critics have been either hot and cold on this new direction of making software less expensive while investing in hardware. The initial announcement of the Surface tablet by Microsoft left a lot of OEM’s shocked because Microsoft didn’t brand these designs with the stamp of any manufacturer. Looks like Samsung has made good on this one. They’re very pretty.
UPDATE:

The dual SIM Lenovo S880 looks amazing in white.
Lenovo is becoming more and more agressive with their phone launches. The other day, Lenovo Global paid a visit to the Philippines to introduce two new phones — the A60+ and the S800. In summary, the A60+ is the spiritual successor to two phones they launched in the last few months — the Lenovo A60 and the Lenovo A65. To those of you who bought an A65, you **might** experience some buyer’s regret as the new A60+ comes with more or less the same specs, with a slightly different form factor. It is also more affordable at only PHP 4,999.00
