Yahoo Messenger (IM) made for Filipinos

Guys, I personally have been using Instant Messenger(IM) all my life. sometimes, yahoo messenger is down and I use this new IM service as an alternative. but recently, they updated it. I wont share this is if its just a plain IM (message me- message you feature.)

This version of IM is made for pinoys. it is called Yehey TOL. Whats cool for me is, they have this salakot man, they really made it for pinoys. imagine, does japan has their own like this? anyway, it has 3d avatars.

Thats just a part of the cool thing. another cool thing is, I personally got to try out a new feature that even Yahoo messenger and MSN messenger doesnt have. Its called WEBCAM driven 3d AVATARS. when you talk, your avatar talks as well! When you move your head, wink, smile, anything – They have a unique webcam facial tracking software allow your avatar to move with you!

Thats whats cool! I personally have tried it out myself. When they release the final version, its time for 3d chatting (other features are also listed in that website like VOiP etc….)!!!

for other info, which I dont know how to answer because I am just also trying that out, just visit, read the frequently asked questions section and download the Yehey TOL. Just search for “Yehey TOL” in google or yahoo. the link will appear.

Pinoy ako kaya love my own hahaha… By the way, pwede rin kasi YM dun… hehe…:P alam nyo kasi, pinoy, hindi nagpapahuli. Even if you dont try this out now, next time, you will hear your friends talking about this also…

Toshiba recalls batteries

AFP

TOKYO - Toshiba Corp. said Thursday it would recall 5,100 potentially flammable laptop computer batteries made by Sony Corp., which suffered widespread problems with its lithium-ion batteries last year.

Toshiba is recalling batteries for five different models of laptop computers as there were three reports of batteries catching fire between last September and June, although no one was hurt, said Toshiba spokesman Keisuke Omori.

Toshiba laptops using the batteries have been sold in Japan, the United States, Europe and the rest of Asia, he said.

The batteries are a different type to the more than 800,000 Sony-made batteries already recalled by Toshiba, he said.

Sony was hit last year by recalls of about 9.6 million of its batteries by computer makers including Apple Computer, Dell, Leveno, Toshiba and Fujitsu because of fears they could catch fire.

A Sony spokesman said Thursday the electronics giant would cooperate closely with Toshiba in investigating the cause of the battery problem.

===================
For those still using, just be careful. for others, just contact your local dealers and avail your warranty.
