Vince tech updates

My first impression.
This is not a phone that I would even consider buying. The motion sensor gaming isn’t a selling point for me. If I want a motion sensing game machine, I would rather go for the iPhone.

First few minutes
After switching it on for a few minutes, I, as usual wasn’t impressed. I was like, “Ok, just another slide-up phone. What’s the big deal?”

The looks
I took the phone, looked at it closely, feeling the metalic-like casing material and immediately thought that this phone is going to be very interesting!

Highlights:
1. GPS (you can actually check out your current location!!!) Very cool!
2. HSDPA internet connection
3. Beautiful elegant design
4. Easier mobile blogging experience
5. 2gb m2 memory card included!
6. Auto-rotating screen (like iPhone! in selected programs)
7. Affordable at only around 12,500 pesos!

Downside:
1. Battery life not so good for wholeday internet HSDPA browsing
2. Not touch screen (this would be almost perfect with a touch screen feature!)

Just yesterday, I made a post about 300,000 forecasted to be jobless. This morning, the forecast is at 500,000 already!!! (Read more: 500,000 Pinoys to lose jobs )

Wow! That is a lot. half a million people going jobless can’t be right. Again, this will cause a domino effect. -They don’t have money to buy thnings-Producers and retailers won’t earn therefore, they won’t have the purchasing power-factories will cut more costs and downsize-and the cycle goes on!

Amidst the economic crisis, one would think if business owners are really facing financial difficulties or are they just making this as an excuse. As a business owner, I personally can’t do such. It is against my conscience and principles but seeing a lot of brand new expensive luxury cars around the metro makes you think twice. Is is really happening?

Mobile phone sales are down to it’s lowest according to a store I interviewed in Greenhills. They had zero sales for the last 2 days — not even a Globe 300 call card load or a 15 peso Smart Buddy load was bought from them.

But again, it maybe just a trend because now, people prefer to invest in netbooks and laptops and use ordinary phones because it is more “economical”. You can earn more using a laptop rather than a mobile phone, don’t you think? You can be a load retailer when you have a phone but, you can do and earn more using a laptop. (like typing jobs, graphic design, web design and more!)

Just the other day, Sony Vaio P was launched here in the Philippines and according to them, it has a limited stock now because of the demand for it. So, are you sure there is a crisis or is this just an excuse?

I would like to personally make a semi-review of it.

From the first time I laid eyes (ang drama) on it, it caught my attention. It has a nice blend of color (Designer ba?), Layout looks similar to a showbiz magazine and best of all, it’s a free source for your entertainment needs!

Page one, number 5 search result of the keyword “Filipina’ in Yahoo will lead you to Merriam and Webster Online Dictionary’s definition of the word - Filipina means a Filipino girl or woman.

In a way, the Internet empowered Filipino women by providing them and the general public with access to information and modern forms of communication. But this same technology has put Filipinas in a disgraceful stature in the World Wide Web.

If we are to search for ‘Filipina’ in Google, Yahoo and other search engines, the first ten websites that would appear include those devoted to mail-order brides, dating and escort services, sexy Filipina images, sex scandals and other sleazy adult websites portraying Filipinas as Asian sex objects. As if adding insult to injury, suggested search keywords further rub in and equate Filipinas to “sex for sale,” “celebrity scandals”, Filipina dating, singles, brides and galleries of nude Filipina girls.

When you ‘Google’ Filipina, the first result that will come up is the Filipina Exposed: Famous Filipina in their Exposed Photos and Videos. The site’s title itself gives away the kind of content and depiction of Filipino women in the Internet. Search engine Gigablast cites Marian Rivera and KC Concepcion as the sexiest Pinays and in YouTube, viewers will be presented with a slideshow of contemporary Pinay celebrities. Searching for photos is even more enraging. The results that will appear seemed as if the images came straight from a porn site.

There are many concerned netizens, particularly bloggers with advocacies aimed to change that sad reality. Through their own little ways, they are working hard to change the Filipina’s image on the Internet.

FilipinaImages

The campaign oriented FilipinaImages.com website was launched sometime in June this year by prominent female bloggers in the local blogosphere. Sisters Lorna Lardizabal-Dietz of Filipina Women’s Network and Philippine Web Awards Best Personal Blog second-time awardee Noemi Lardizabal-Dado together with New Media adviser Dine Racoma came up with a news portal and advocacy blog for the ‘Filipina Image Online Campaign.’

Using Google bombing as a tool, the campaign aims to “take back the word Filipina online from its massive “dating and penpal websites” and put this word in a more balanced context.”

Interesting news all over the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines — Can the Ninoy Aquino International Airport accommodate and adequately service a passenger aircraft which is as tall as an eight-story building and has a wingspan almost as wide as a football field?

This will be known on Thursday when the Airbus-380, the world’s largest passenger jet, arrives at the NAIA as part of its three-country Asia-Pacific leg of its “route proving flight.”

The double-decker Airbus A-380 MSN 009 test aircraft is expected to land at the NAIA at around 2:45 p.m. Thursday.

 

Flight range comparison with other aircraft

• Airbus A380F has a flight range of 10,400 km (5,616 nmi) with 152 metric tonnes (168 S/T/150 L/T) of cargo.
• C-5 Galaxy has a flight range of 3,982 km (2,150 nmi) with 122 metric tonnes (134 S/T/120 L/T) of cargo. An-124 has 32% longer range.
• Boeing 747-400 has a range of 8,240 km (4,449 nmi) with 113 metric tonnes (125 S/T/111 L/T) of cargo, 39% more than An-124 and 79% more than the C-5 Galaxy.
• Il-96-400T has a range of 4,800 km (2,592 nmi) with 92 metric tonnes (101 S/T/91 L/T) of cargo. An-124 has 56% more range. However with 40 metric tonnes (44 S/T/39 L/T) of cargo both An-124 and Il-96-400T have the same range: 11,500 km (6,210 nmi).

The US Air Force’s Lockheed C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft touched down in Manila during President George W. Bush’s visit in Manila four years ago. Russia’s Antonov AN-225 had landed several times at the NAIA.

From there, you can compare how titanic those US Air Force’s Lockheed C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft and Russia’s Antonov AN-225 are compared to the Philippine Airlines B-747. Now, the Airbus a380 wont be as big as those two.
