  • Electra Instant Contact Cleaner. San ka pa?

    I want to make this sound like a commercial so here it goes: Have computer problems bogged you down? Your computer doesn’t want to boot, or is acting up on you? Then check out Electra Instant Contact Cleaner. With a few squirts of Electra Instant Contact Cleaner, you can wipe your computer problems away like…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • First takes on the Amoi Blue M626 Laptop

    If it weren’t for aforementioned quality issues, I’d recommend the Amoi Blue M626, especially at the competitive Php46,000.00 SRP. However due to such, and the fact they don’t make even bother to provide English manuals, I’d say keep away.

  • First takes on the NEC Versa M350 1704DW

    I think the Acer 3242WXMi now has some competition after I took this one out of the box last night. At this very moment, it’s sitting on the desk running on batteries, with all the screensavers and power saving options turned off so I could time how long it takes till it dies.

  • First takes on Acer Travelmate 3242WXMi

    Taking a quick break right now from reviewing the gadgets to post my first notes about the Acer Travelmate 3242WXMi, the first model I’ve tried. There’s a ‘Travelmate 3240’ tag at the lower right side of the monitor. This indicates the series, and ‘3242WXMi’ is the model within that series. I think there are 27…

  • First takes on the O2 XDA Atom

    Why I’m putting this one back in the box.

  • Gadgets Galore (mid 2006 version)

    Gadget season is upon us again (I’m serious. It’s about this time the industry is gearing up to release new stuff), and just like around December to Feb, they are piling up again for review. Here’s a list of what I’ve got so far:
