Apple iPhones in the Philippines
April 21, 2008
Apple’s uber-slick phone, the iPhone, is still not launched yet throughout Asia but the gadget is already penetrating the Philippine mainstream market.
A friend showed off his jailbroken (read: hacked) iPhone last week which he bought from Virra Mall in Greenhills. His 8GB phone costs P21,000 (US$525) — a 30% price drop from the cheapest iPhone we saw back in September 2007.
Alexa revises ranking system
April 17, 2008
In response to criticisms that its ranking methodology is not representative of the entire Internet population, web ranking company Alexa unveiled today a new system wherein rankings are now based on “multiple sources of data” rather than just the Alexa Toolbar.
In the past, Alexa used to measure a site’s traffic rank and reach based on the toolbar users installed on their PCs. This means if you don’t use the Alexa toolbar, your internet surfing habits are not counted. Today Alexa announced that they are implementing a new rankings system closer to the actual statistics of a website.
(Video) Gandalf and Frodo promote Yahoo! Mail
April 10, 2008
As the market for web-based email gets tougher and tougher, big players Google’s Gmail, MSN’s Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail are on a continuous battle to offer something extraordinary in order to retain customers and get new ones.
Yahoo!, for its part, has exclusively inked a deal with — brace yourselves — the wizard Gandalf and the hobbit Frodo of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings to promote the web-based email service.
Here’s a very funny video of Gandalf using Yahoo! Mail and Messenger to send Frodo on a mission to save Middle Earth.
Uploading a video on Flickr
April 9, 2008
Woohoo! The wait is over. Photo sharing site Flickr finally supports video upload and hosting.
When I opted for a Flickr Pro Account exactly a year ago, I knew videos was up next. Flickr is, at least for me and for some people, the best photo upload and sharing site ever. It’s only a matter of time before they leverage that expertise to videos.
And now it happened: Flickr has launched videos.
(Sample Flickr video after the jump!)
Beware! Browsing porn at work can really get you fired
February 29, 2008
The latest survey of 304 companies in the US showed that 84% of employees fired for internet misuse was due to accessing porn or other inappropriate content at work.
The study, conducted by the American Management Association (AMA) and The ePolicy Institute, analyzed cases of workers fired for misusing the internet on the job.
The survey also showed that 34% of these companies let go of workers due to excessive personal use of the Internet. A majority of companies monitor the online activities of employees by monitoring their keystrokes and time spent on the keyboard. They also review personal blogs for company-related content and even individual social networking accounts of employees in, say, Friendster, Myspace or Facebook.
(Video) New Apple ad: “Leopard is better and faster than Vista”
January 26, 2008
Extending the popular “I’m a Mac… and I’m a PC” ad campaign of Apple, here’s another one promoting this time the supposed superiority of Leopard OS versus Microsoft Vista.
The ad clip, occupying large spaces at the top and right-hand side of websites, features the PC guy (played by John Hodgman) hilariously refuting a Wall Street Journal article that proclaimed that “Leopard is better than Vista.”
The online advertisement was earlier seen on the sites of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal but today, it’s now being bannered on Yahoo! News.
Watch a YouTube video of the funny Apple ad below.
