I finally got my review unit of the Eubiq Power Track last night! This was the gadget I talked about in my “Wires, wires, wires” blog article a week ago. This device is literally turning wire management and extension chords to a manly art form, haha. I didn’t have time yet to properly set it [...]

Nokia Philippines recently did a massive 60% sale on their Nokia C6 phone units in various concept stores in Metro Manila. The sale happened during a 3 hour window today and a lot of tech pundits thought that this was to counter LG’s Optimus sale. However it looks like instead of drawing good PR the [...]

If there’s one thing I hate in any tech set-up it’s the number of wires scattered all over the desk or the table. That’s my current problem right now at home at my workstation and my home theater set-up. There are just so many things you plug these days and the ugly extension chords just [...]

The new Apple TV still isn’t officially available in the Philippines yet but I was able to get a brand new unit today from PhilMUG. This device was announced by Steve Jobs during the Apple Music event a few months ago. The supposed main selling points of the new Apple TV are design, price, and [...]

Research In Motion (RIM) recently launched their newest offering – the BlackBerry Curve 3G (Model 9300). I think the biggest thing with this new model is that it’s already prepared for the upcoming BlackBerry OS 6. It will initially ship with OS 5 but you can upgrade it to OS 6 as soon as it [...]

The iPad Otterbox Defender is definitely one of the most secure and protective cases ever made for Apple’s tablet. I have to agree with ZDNET that the Otterbox Defender feels like putting the iPad in Batman’s suit. Why do I say this? Well, the Otterbox Defender is three layers of protection including a polycarbonate cover [...]

Research In Motion (RIM) recently announced the global launch of their newest smart phone: the BlackBerry Bold 9780. Based on the pictures and videos available, the 9780 looks like a more elegant and classier version of the BlackBerry Bold 9700. It also packs new features and the most noticeable is the change of operating systems. [...]

Limewire, one of the most popular peer-to-peer file sharing applications in the world was recently given a court order telling them to stop distributing and supporting their software which allowed people to download various types of content (music, videos, etc.) online. A US judge ruled in favor of various music companies who filed charges of [...]

Steve Jobs recently announced the new Macbook Air at the “Back to the Mac” event. This was a highly anticipated release since the Macbook Air was due for an upgrade. Jobs unveiled two models for the Macbook Air – 13.3 inches and 11 inches. The most noticeable difference with the new MBA compared to the [...]

With the rapid advancement of technology, content publishers can’t limit themselves anymore to traditional channels like TV, radio, and print. There are so many platforms available these days to reach out to your target market which you can use to build long lasting relationships with them which can result to positive word of mouth and [...]

The iPad is my primary work device now and my Macbook has been relegated to back-up and for blogging. As a consultant, I do a lot of presentations and public speaking and the iPad has made my job a whole lot easier and much more fun! I have a lot of friends who are also [...]

I’ve tried several cases already for the iPhone 4 and I’ve narrowed down my favorites to two cases. The first is all about protection and keeping the iPhone 4 safe and well protected. In the security department, the Otterbox Defender case for the iPhone 4 is one of the best in the field. The Otterbox [...]

The main reason why I use Keynote over PowerPoint and Pages over Word in my Mac is because the Office suite for the Mac (2008) is just too sluggish and buggy. Trying to compose a presentation on PowerPoint on a Mac is a very frustrating experience because the program is so slow that it’s almost [...]

The iPhone 4 immediately stole my breath away as soon as I opened the box. “So this is what everyone has been raving about all over the world,” I said to myself. Call me a geek or an Apple fanatic but my hands were shaking as I lifted the phone out of the box. I’ve [...]

I’ve been using my iPad for several months now and I find myself using my Macbook less and less. Most of the presentations I create and present are done mostly on the iPad already. With regards to media consumption, I read all of my books now on the iPad, listen to my music, surf the [...]

A recent article posted on ABS-CBN caught my attention. Apparently an executive from DENR was allegedly caught watching pornographic videos while on the job. While we might find this hilarious, this is actually a common scenario in a lot of workplaces with unrestricted internet access (especially offices with cubicles or private work spaces). This is [...]

I’ve written several blogs about how dissatisfied I was with the various ISP’s that I’ve contracted over the past few years. I’ve had terrible experiences with PLDT MyDSL, Bayantel, Globe Tattoo and Smart. The worst among all of them though would probably be my old Smart Bro connection when I was still living in Visayas [...]

The Norton Cybercrime Report: The Human Impact states that 87% of online Filipinos fell victim already to cybercrimes. That’s a huge number and it’s not something that we should just shrug off. That’s almost 9 out of every 10 online Pinoy! The most common form of cybercrime is e-mail account hacking, wherein your account is [...]

I was finally able to get the new iPod Nano (Multi-touch) yesterday from a seller on PhilMUG. I was a bit hesitant at first because I didn’t know how much this would actually cost officially in the Philippines but I felt a bit better after I found out that I got it for less the [...]

I was able to get a new iPod Nano a few days ago (yes, the one with multi-touch!) and I’ve been tinkering with it all night. I got it from a seller on PhilMUG for a good price and I’ll write a review about it shortly. Anyway, I passed by Power Mac Center at Greenbelt [...]
