This is a rather belated review of Sony Ericsson's top-of-the-line android, the Xperia Arc which I had written about when it was launched end of March together with the smaller Xperia Neo. The first thing to rave about the Xperia Arc is its metallic concave body ( that's why it's called the Arc). I give it lots of pogi points for its form factor. I'd easily call this the Porsche of androids at the moment. It's been almost three months since it was launched. I wonder if the introductory price of P29,990 in the Philippines has gone down. The pitfall of this ... Continue Reading...

Facebook vs. Google in internet mafia wars?
Not everything you read in the newspapers is true. Having worked in the industry myself, I know for a fact that stories are sometimes "planted" to lobby for something, influence public opinion or favor a high-spending advertiser. And now it seems Facebook has been caught with its pants down when it was identified as the one "feeding" anti-Google stories to the media. Worse, Facebook has admitted to the deed, citing Google's infringement of Facebook data and privacy concerns in the social networking tool called Social Circle which Google is implementing. Observers ... Continue Reading...
Counterfeit plane parts, fake pilot licenses and other ills plaguing RP aviation industry (last of two parts)
"Now every Juan can fly!" so says a familiar ad by Cebu Pacific, now the leading carrier in terms of passenger volume. But the question is: how safely are we flying? It came as quite a shock to me to read the well-researched, comprehensive report by PSA (Pacific Strategies & Assessments), an international business risk consultancy group on the Philippine civil aviation industry. PSA feeds information to its high-profile clients which include multinational corporations. So yes, they must know what they're saying.:D The salient points of what they say are the ...

10 techie things to do in 2011 (Blog-O-Rama)
Yes, my Blog-O-Rama column in Manila Bulletin Technews continues to be alive - born in 2004 and still kickin' in 2011! :D Through all these years, I've seen the landscape evolve drastically and most us have learned to take it with a bit of fear and then meek acceptance. Change is inevitable, and there's no way this world is going back to the world of the dinosaurs. My New Year resolutions are still evolving and being more "techie" in terms of understanding and adapting to technology is out there on the list. Here are my suggestions for 10 techie things to do in 2011. ... Continue Reading...
Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao in Greenhills for hubby’s birthday
I haven't been to Greenhills in ages. Hubby wanted to go here because he received tips from online folks that this is the place to go to in Manila for Xbox repair. You see, it's not only a haven for clothes and accessories but also the latest in mobile phones and electronics equipment. I think they sold the iPhone 4 here, even before it was offered by Globe to its subscribers. Greenhills also equals food. The whole area is peppered with restaurants boasting of good food to try. And at present, one resto packs them in - Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao which is an ... Continue Reading...
