Here’s To The Crazy Ones

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Affordable Android: Samsung Galaxy Spica

This is the Samsung Galaxy Spica, also known as the GT-I5700, or the Galaxy Lite, depending on what part of the world you’re currently in. It’s my newest phone, mostly a result of my Nokia N79′s refusal to send SMS when I most need to. I’ve been not–so–privately salivating at the Google Nexus One since [...]

At the Acer Timeline Cruise event…

Photos from the Manila Bay cruise for the Acer Timeline launch: I think the Acer Timeline laptops are sleek machines, I would’ve considered them if I haven’t switched to a Mac.

Five on Friday: Why I love my MacBook

I’m now reviving my tradition of doing a Five on Friday entry on days after Friday; I’d rather do it now than wait until next Friday. I feel like I cannot blog about other things if I don’t get this done now anyway. Besides, this would’ve made it to Friday if I wasn’t out with [...]

Disconnected

Smart Bro broadband internet is hell. Literally. I’m on my seventh day of their non–service and there are no signs that things will get better soon. Wish me luck. I guess it’s the only thing that could help me now.

Five on Friday: What I hate about the iPod

Everyone loves Apple’s iPod, or at least pretends not to hate it. I’ve got one, though there are things I just wish it wasn’t. It takes a lot to shuffle. Go pick a playlist, an artist, or an album. Then suddenly decide that you want to shuffle the tracks instead of listening to them sequentially. [...]

We were happily surprised when the Globe Hub agent mentioned that it is currently priced at [...]

Smart WiFi/Bro problems

I’m supposed to write a lengthy entry on WordPress plugins and how they can greatly affect the blogging experience both for the authors and readers. Unfortunately, my Smart WiFi/Bro broadband connection just went kaput last Saturday afternoon and hasn’t been restored since then. No amount of calls to their support number combined repetitive troubleshooting helped; [...]

G-Cash

Globe should have G–Cash over web transactions. Ka Edong already pointed this out several months ago. Having an online credit card to g–cash gateway would surely open unlimited opportunities for many Filipinos, like micropayments for content publishers and other services. Doing so would establish the telco as one of the premier innovators in the GSM [...]

iPod Rebelpixel Productions Special Edition

As you may have heard, Apple just released the iPod U2 Special Edition, a beautifully black piece of hardware containing most of U2′s hits, old and new. Unknown to many, the iPod U2 SE is just one of many upcoming special edition releases — the iPod DF SE and the iPod kottke.org SE are some [...]
