  • end make d parflays dance sylvimousse is barkley, so keys me..

    Now that her infamous video is making the blogging rounds all over, the question is will Alyssa Alano’s career get a boost from the internet?

    Think about it. Before I saw it last week, I had never heard of her, and even ABS-CBN’s “WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE (viva) HOT BABES??” poll gives her a 0 rating.

    But after her ‘Awesome!’ GMA performance captured on Youtube, that can all change, and she didn’t even need to take her clothes off. I’m sure there’s a lesson to be learned for movie promoters here, although what I’m not entirely sure. The point is, she’s getting famous, albeit not as planned, but famous still, which I think for most Viva hot babes is good enough.

    Anyway, her own page on the internet is here.

    And finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for…

  • VistaTorrent.com. Just because.

    Either you’re curious, or you like to inflict self-pain, but apparently there’s a MS Vista Torrent site aimed to help you download either the x32 or x64 Vista Torrent today.

    That’s right malicious code delevopers! Why wait till December (the planned release date) to make viruses for it when you can start coding your attack now?!

    Seriously, I really have no motive for getting it other than I could probably make an article out of it, but even then I’ve better ways of doing so. So the purpose of this post, other than FYIng everyone on this lurid development, is to merely ride on the blogosphere wave, and get some hits, which I’ve done if you’ve read up to this point. Incidentally, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the purpose of the site’s owners too.

  • Gadget Buying Tips (renamed ‘Lowdown on Gadgets’) article is now out

    Well it was supposed to be an article about gadget buying, but was edited to come out as “The lowdown on gadgets”, a kind of opinion / commentary about gadgets. Which is good, I suppose, considering it wasn’t edited as much. Who can possibly predict what editors think really? IMHO, we might as well be on completely different planets both in writing style and in what we’re trying to say.

    There’s an error in a paragraph where I say “Two things to remember about buying laptops”, the first (size and weight are king) is mentioned, but the second was completely edited out.

    At any rate, like I said, it’s all good. Some people might disagree with this one, but I’m fairly sure I’m being forthcoming and honest when I say, for example, that people should, even if they had the money, buy what’s best for them as opposed to the top of the line models.

  • My Articles Page is now up!

    Finally finally finally.

    I’ve finally gotten around to making my articles page here.

    I’d always demurred from said activity as I had thought it rather vain, but I’ve decided it’s best to upload them as they greatly help me figure out when (and sometimes, for whom) I wrote an article for at any given time, without having to dig deep into the deep inner workings of my d:\ partition where everything is stored, and where many a search had failed to result positively from sheer clutter.

    At least this way, my blog serves as a backup of these records. Also, and let’s be honest here, it’ll help me find writing work, and I’m very much in the market.

  • Content Providers shouldn’t be surprised

    From this article:

    “Content providers have opposed the (creation of a) not-to-text registry, saying that it was invasion of privacy. They said that our [pending guidelines] are sufficient. But the NTC thinks there is a need to do this. The present way of doing things are insufficient. The content providers will be submitting their position paper by Monday but we intend to have the registry up by next week,” Sarmiento told INQ7.net.

    It has to do with how the NTC has decided to put up a registry for people who do not want to receive spam-text to sign up to.

    You have to wonder how the Content Providers decided to get into the business they’re in when they started. Sure things looked good a few years ago when there wasn’t any regulation, and text spam was considered a minor nuisance, but betting your business on providing a service whose way of announcing itself is via spamming – something that no one in his right mind really wants seems difficult to justify.

  • First takes on the Nokia N91

    I was very excited to receive one of the first Nokia N91s to come into the country a few weeks ago. I was made aware that it was amongst, if not the first unit to arrive via a letter accompanying it saying so. In retrospect however, the fact that it came from a PR company means it’d benefit them to make me think so, but I’m fairly sure it’s at least amongst the first.

    It came however, not in its original box, but in a (very nice) Nokia backpack, filled with the requisite manuals, cables and a set of very nice speakers and a headset. After some investigation it turns out the speakers weren’t inclusive and were only there to help prove the sound was up to par and connecting to it was easy, via a standard 3.5mm connector, placed conveniently at the top. This allows you to just slap it onto your average stereo headset or amplifier, bringing your sounds along with you, which is the point of this particular phone.

    I used it for most of a full week, and liked it a lot. Nokia makes models for every specific target audience in each model lineup, and the N91 is it’s music player model for the N-Series. So while it has the required connectivity and other features (triband, 3G, Bluetooth, 2mb cam, USB, etc.) seen throughout most of the N Series, it’s particular strength is its music player, featuring Windows Media Player 10 and the clincher = 4gb. hard disk.
