A quick fix for YM’s recent connection problems

Posted on April 27th, 2008 in YM connection problems, YM solution, Yahoo Messenger tips and tricks, Yahoo Messenger, kupy technology, Technology | No Comments »

Lately diba laging nadidisconnect or nagtotopak ang Yahoo Messenger? Either it gets disconnected over and over again or pagnakaconnect man, konti lang yung online sa list? I dunno if this trick’s out yet or if it will work on YM 8 (we tested it on YM 9/beta) but here’s how you do it anyway: press ctrl+F twice (or once minsan) at lalabas na yung totoong online list. Of course, para sa mga nagamit to ng show online contacts only. Salamat sa pinsan kong si Jomar na nakadiscover ng trick na to.

Handheld Gaming Charging Stations at Burger King

Posted on April 11th, 2008 in Technology, Videogames & Interactive Media | No Comments »

When they say “LO BAT, NO BAT, ANY KIND OF BAT.”, the people at Burger King really mean it.
I was having lunch at the Galleria today with some former office mates when I noticed something different about their charging station. Not only are these things able to charge mobile phones of different makes and models, the fastfood chain has started providing charging stations to handheld gamers as well!
If you’re the type of person who never leaves home without your PSP or DS, now you know where to go when the batteries start going bye bye.

How reliable are Smart’s International Services?

Posted on March 29th, 2008 in Technology | No Comments »

I’m probably one of those people who text more than they call. Thanks to Yahoo Messenger, the expenses are somehow lessened. However, there are a lot of times when I’d use my Smart line to text instead (After all, I can’t pull out my computer and get an Internet connection anytime I want to).
The messages are always received by the girlfriend on time. What puzzles me are the late arrivals of most (if not, all), of her text messages. We’re not talking about a few hours here — some of the text messages I receive arrive after a day! Imagine what would happen if I had to make a bank account deposit, and the message arrives on a Saturday. Geez.
Mariel uses a Cingular Wireless prepaid line in New York, so I don’t know and I’m not sure if the problem is coming from her end. Before I got my Smart […]

Updated Yahoo Messenger for Mac

Posted on March 26th, 2008 in Technology | No Comments »

When I get home from work, the first thing I usually do is log on to my PC (Yeah, you read that right). I do this because I use Yahoo Messenger to send text messages to the girlfriend. Imagine my surprise when I turned on my Macbook today — a new update for Yahoo Messenger!
Voice, Check.
SMS — Check!
I don’t care what else they added. All that matters to me are the two new features above.
Hmmm… does this mean I won’t be using my desktop PC anymore? Don’t get me wrong, I still love my PC (and my games). Yahoo just made my life a lot simpler

Macbook Air a Hoax!

Only Steve Jobs could have sent ripples down every technophile’s spine like he did more than a week ago. As this blogger has learned, everything is just to good to be true!

When Quad Core Processing just isn’t enough.

Posted on January 9th, 2008 in Technology | No Comments »

As if it isn’t enough that we’re less than a week away from Macworld, Apple unleashes this beast upon us. You sometimes have to wonder, how do these people come up with this stuff?
I just can’t wait for January 15th!

The Mother of ALL Gaming Monitors

Posted on January 7th, 2008 in Technology | No Comments »

Somebody else reported it already, but something like this definitely deserves to be re-posted. The Alienware curved monitor shown here is now on top of my lust list. It’s going to stay there until I find out how much the thing is going to cost.
*Every friggin’ CES2008 video on YT has been taken down. BOO!
