The Source Code

Facebook "Today In"

2018-11-29T19:21:00.000-08:00

Facebook just recently announced that they are testing this new feature in Australia, which allows them to have local news alerts directly from Facebook. The Facebook Team's goal focuses on 'news deserts' as they may say, a terminology they came up with, simply a location where there is a low coverage of news/updates. What they have mentioned as well which will be typically covered topics/discussions/news on this "Today In" feature were city council meetings, weather, or crime as cited examples. Today In was already launched to 400 US cities and will hit it in Australia as a big launch.

The big question is, will the Facebook Team be targeting the Asia as well? Mostly of the countries in Asia no longer reads hard copy newspapers, well, not in the Philippines. Except for those who eats breakfast at popular fast food chains like Mcdonalds and/or Jollibee. Although most of them are our dear senior citizens, having the "Today In" feature on Facebook across all countries will have a big mark and will be useful tool because people now a days tend to just turn on their phone as soon as they wake up, checking news feed and scroll all the way down until you say "I think I already saw this post". This will incline local news awareness which, Facebook can be the means of it, which has probably been part of our lives ever since its popularity.

This is one of the best feature or should I say a module/tool, that Facebook ever came up with, that will help the netizens be aware of what's happening, either nearby, or across the whole world. Facebook is definitely stepping up the game.

RIP Sony Walkman(1979-2011)

2011-10-11T19:03:00.000-07:00

I still remember my first portable cassette player, a gift my mom got me during her trip to the U.S. some 10 years ago. If I remember it correctly, what I got was a JVC portable cassette player but in the Philippines, all portable cassette players were referred to as “Walkmans” regardless of their brand. Sony released the world’s first low-cost portable stereo – the Walkman TPS-L2 in July 1, 1979 and has sold 220 million units of Walkman portable cassette players in the last 30 years.

In the 80′s, audio cassette tapes were very popular so the Walkmans were basically the iPods of that era. However, that time is long past and with the advancement in technology the past few years, these music players have become obsolete leading to lackluster sales these last few years. So it’s no surprise that Sony has decided to stop production of the Walkman. I’m actually more surprised to find out that they still made them. The last batch of the portable cassette players were produced in Japan last April. Once those units gets sold that’s it, hasta lavista Sony Walkman portable cassette players! It’s sad to see this piece of music technology, which was once a symbol of coolness – die and be gone forever.

Sony will continue to use the Walkman brand name for their video MP3 players. They’ll also continue to sell their line of Walkman CD and mini-disc players inspite of their decreasing popularity. According to sources, a Chinese company will continue the production of the portable cassette players to cater to the small market of people who still prefer to use these “ancient” and “obsolete” music players.

R.I.P Sony Walkman portable cassette players. Your batteries have ran out and your tape chewing days are past but nevertheless, thanks for the fond memories!

Anyone here who owned a Sony Walkman portable cassette player? Do you still have it and use it? What are the memories you have from using this device? What songs do you remember playing on your portable cassette players?

It's your own choice

Who's behind Anonymous?

2011-10-08T04:09:00.000-07:00

I know this is superrrrr late to be the topic. Sorry 'bout that. This is the free time I only have.

Anyway, I never thought Anonymous was this serious. I mean, you could be an anonymous from tumblr, formspring and other social network sites. But these Anonymous guys are different. They are well-experienced hackers.

Honestly, I'm not that familiar with these guys. But they attempted to hack tumblr once, but as what I've heard. They seemingly failed at that time.(I don't actually know what the reason is). I strongly believe that they're one of the publishers of the 4chan.com.

If you might not know, 4chan is website for images, tons of them. I don't actually know how they manage to have that kind of website since they have pornographic, can-humiliate-cats images and more. Which is hell of a website to visit on. Literally.

Everyone's waiting for this date. November 5, 2011. Based on the video, they'll make a move on this date. This isn't new about Facebook. I mean, not new for a newly developed website which just arouse for about 2 years ago. In addition to that, Facebook barely killed Friendster with just a click. Therefore everyone else wants to make it fail.

BUTTTTTTTT, yes, a long but. If you'll try to analyze everything that Anonymous said ANDDD if ever it's true. They are doing the right thing.

"We are anonymous, we are legion we do not forgive, we do not forget: expect us."

The Source Code(Official Movie)

2011-10-08T03:45:00.000-07:00

It's actually late to give spoiler for this one. But I can't help it. Since, this was showed last April 2011(from US) and actually made it here from the month of October 2011(at the PH) which is quite, yeah, late. I'll give you some taste of the movie so you won't give your whole tongue.
If you'll ask me if I watched it already. I'm proud to say yes, but not that much if you'd know how.

By the way, my blog came out first before this movie. So there's no point on arguing with me about plagiarism. Got that mate?

So, tighten your self on your seat and read with your arms braced together.

A man (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up on a train sitting across from a woman named Christina Warren (Michelle Monaghan). The woman seems to know him by the name Sean Fentress, but he doesn't seem to know her and appears uncertain of his own identity. After eight minutes, a bomb goes off on the train, and the man awakens to find himself strapped inside a small geodesic dome. There, Air Force Capt. Colleen Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) explains to him through a computer screen that he is actually Colter Stevens, a decorated army helicopter pilot, now on a mission to locate the maker of a bomb which destroyed a train headed into Chicago. This is to be accomplished using the Source Code, a time loop program that allows him to take over someone's body in a reenactment of their last eight minutes of life.

Stevens has no memory of how he became involved in the Source Code project; his last memory is of flying in a recent mission in Afghanistan while taking on enemy gunfire. Stevens' mission in the Source Code is to assume the identity of Fentress, one of the train's passengers, locate the bomb, discover who detonated it, and report back to Goodwin to prevent the bomber from detonating a larger dirty nuclear device in downtown Chicago, which could cause the deaths of millions of people. Goodwin and the Source Code's creator, Dr. Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright), tell him that the Source Code is not a simulation, but a visit into the past in the form of an alternate reality. He's told that he cannot truly alter the past to save any of the passengers, but that he must gather intel that can be used to alter the future and prevent a future attack. Goodwin assures Stevens that "everything will be OK."

Stevens and Christina kiss in the last seconds before the eight-minute mark. In that instant, Goodwin turns off his life support per his request, but to Stevens' surprise, his mind remains in Sean Fentress' body. He is then able to safely leave the train with Christina, also saving the rest of the passengers. Now in the alternate universe, an alternate version of Goodwin receives an email from Stevens explaining what has happened and that the Source Code can alter the target alternate reality. The movie ends with Stevens taking Fentress' place, and asking Goodwin to help Captain Colter Stevens and tell him that "everything will be OK.", which Goodwin had told Stevens earlier in the film.

Oops! Sorry guys, but I'll cut it out here. I won't tell anything about the bomber. That's the only mystery I left to make you guys guess. So atleast, even if you read this spoiler, there's still a sense on watching. It's worth watching this movie anyway.

Six ways to work faster in MS Outlook

2011-07-25T19:56:00.000-07:00

Organizations large and small rely on Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations to get the job done. In some ways Outlook is the poor cousin of the three high-profile Office apps. But the true workhorse in Microsoft's ubiquitous suite is the unglamorous e-mail/contact manager/task scheduler.

These six tips for Outlook 2010, 2007, and 2003 will let you spend less time reopening archived messages, jog your memory about reminders, drag files to send them as attachments, add terms to the spell checker, clear space on the taskbar, and enhance your list of click-saving keyboard shortcuts for Outlook.

Archive a folder's messages on your schedule
Many people have no need to archive their Outlook e-mail, choosing instead to delete old messages or simply to let them accumulate. However, most organizations cap the size of individual Outlook accounts, so you may receive a notice from the IT folks to archive some of your old e-mail.

Archiving can prevent folder bloat, but retrieving archived messages takes longer than reopening nonarchived ones. You may need easy access to messages older than Outlook's default auto-archive-age setting of 6 months. It's easy to delay all Outlook archiving or the program's archiving of specific folders and messages.

(Note that Outlook 2010's Clean Up feature automatically removes what it identifies as redundant messages in selected folders. That's not the same as archiving old e-mail.)

To enable automatic archiving for mail in a specific folder, right-click the folder and choose Properties > AutoArchive. By default, the archiver runs every 14 days and applies to messages older than six months. To change the default settings, choose the Default Archive Settings button to open the AutoArchive dialog. Here you can change the frequency of archiving, the length of time messages remain unarchived, and the location of your archive.pst file.


Tweak Outlook's auto-archive settings to adjust the frequency of archiving, the age of archived messages, the archive location, and other options.

To customize a single folder's archive settings, right-click it, choose Properties > AutoArchive, select "Archive this folder using these settings," and make your choices. To prevent an individual message from being archived, open it and click File > Info > Properties in Outlook 2010 and 2007 or File > Properties in Outlook 2003. Check "Do not AutoArchive this item."

Make your reminders more informative
Outlook lets you assign certain messages to a color-coded category or mark them with a follow-up flag. Even with these visual cues you may need some help remembering the message's significance. To add a description that appears next to the flag when you open the message, choose Follow Up > Custom and enter a word or phrase of explanation.

To add a reminder that will also appear in your tasks and calendar, right-click the message and choose Follow Up > Add Reminder. In the "Flag to" field add a description of the follow-up action. This text will appear at the top of the message along with other information about the reminder.


Add a description of a flag reminder that will appear at the top of the message to remind you of the reason for the reminder.

The fast way to send a file attachment
The typical approach to attaching a file to an e-mail is to open a new message, choose the paperclip icon, and navigate to the file in the folder window that appears. If you're in Windows Explorer or any folder window, you can right-click the file and choose Send to > Mail recipient, which opens a new message in your default e-mail program.

You may be able to save even more time by dragging the file directly into your Outlook inbox, which likewise opens a new message with the file automatically attached.

Customize Outlook's spell checker
Spelling errors are downright unprofessional, which makes Outlook's spell-check feature indispensable for most people. No spell-check dictionary includes all the words you're likely to use regularly in your correspondences. You can make Outlook's spell checker more accurate by adding names and terms you use frequently. In Outlook 2010 and 2007, select File > Options > Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect > Custom Dictionaries > Edit Word List. Add your new terms one at a time and click OK twice.

In Outlook 2003, click Tools > Options > Spelling and choose the Edit button under "Edit custom dictionary." Click through the warning, if necessary, add the new terms to the Custom.dic file, click File > Save and then File > Exit. (OK, this tip may not save you much time, but it might make you look better.)

Microsoft provides more information about custom dictionaries in Outlook and other Office 2010 apps on the Office Support site.

Minimize Outlook to the notification area

Midway through your workday your taskbar can get pretty crowded with minimized applications, even if you choose the option to group multiple open windows by program. (To set this option, right-click the taskbar, choose Properties > Taskbar, and select "Always combine, hide labels" in the drop-down menu next to "Taskbar buttons.")

You can take Outlook out of the taskbar mix by placing the minimized icon only in the notification area. To do so, right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area and choose Hide When Minimized. Outlook will thenceforth minimize only to the notification area rather than to the taskbar.

Switch quickly to another Office app
If you've got one Office app open, chances are you'll eventually need to do some work in another. You can open a new Word document, Excel spreadsheet, PowerPoint presentation, or other type of file from within Outlook by pressing Ctrl+Shift+H. This keyboard shortcut opens the New Microsoft Office Document dialog. Just choose your desired type of file and click OK.

The Microsoft Office site lists dozens of keyboard shortcuts for Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003. Here are the shortcuts for e-mail:

Switch to Inbox: Ctrl+Shift+I
Switch to Outbox: Ctrl+Shift+O
Choose account to send message from: Ctrl+Tab (focus on To line), then tab to Accounts button
Send:Alt+S

Convert HTML or RTF message to plain text: Ctrl+Shift+O
Add a Quick Flag to a message: Insert
Display the Flag for Follow Up dialog box: Ctrl+Shift+G

7 Stages in a Relationship

2011-07-20T04:44:00.000-07:00

“Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!” - Bob Ong

LOVE. Sa generation natin ngayon. Paboritong topic ito ng mga karamihan, lalo na ang mga kababaihan. Sa TV man o sa mga sinehan, naglipana ang mga lovestories! May mga koreanovela, chinovela, gumamela.. Ay! Basta iilan lang yan sa mga kinaguguluhang palabas. Pati nga mga horror movies minsan, may love scene pa! OH MY..

May point naman ang pagkahilig natin sa mga ganyang bagay. Nakaka relate nga naman kasi. There are broken hearted and may mga happy ending ang love story. Yung iba nga habang nanonood, kinikilig-kilig pa!

Wala talagang makaka pag-sabi kung ano talaga ang love. Mahirap i-describe or i-define. Pwera nalang talaga kung nandun ka na mismo sa sitwasyon na yun.

Based on my experience, there are 7 stages na makaka harap mo when you're in a relationship. True love ang pag-uusapan dito, hindi yung "trip mo lang" portion. Seryoso talaga. So eto,

First Stage: Meeting

This is the first stage for all of us. Strangers sabi nga nila. Ang stranger na ito e maaaring nakasakay mo sa jeep, kapitbahay, nakita mo sa mall, o kaya naman ang mas matindi pa diyan e yung taong-grasa dun sa may kanto. Yun talaga ang stranger.
Sinusubukan mo ring mag pa impress, o magpakitang gilas when it comes to everything. Like, for girls, mahiyain effect sila or simply pakipot(Peace po.. ;D ). For guys naman, they'll do everything para dun sa girl. But later on prostration fades out, e kasi naman nakuha mo na yung number at pangalan niya! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. (Pero kung torpe ka at mahina ang loob, hindi ka mag pro-proceed sa next stage. Therefore MISSION ABORTED ang hahantungan mo. LOL)
From that, it went to..

Second Stage: The Chase

Some says this is the best part. All you wanted is to know more about her. Search her name on facebook, twitter, formspring, or any social network he/she's possibly using. Then gusto mo lagi siyang nakikita, kahit yung mga photos niya lang.
Yung first date na pag aya mo sa kanya on that time, e may kasunod na next date, and the next, and then next because all you wanted is to hang out with her.
Siya lang lagi ang katext and kausap mo sa cellphone. Kahit umabot kayo ng 4:00am, kering-keri basta siya ang kausap mo! She's the number one prior. Yung tipong nagdodota ka tapos tumawag siya. "Sorry guys, alt Q-Q na ako ha? Tumatawag si *toot* e." Basag ang laro, RM na. :))

When you see or you're with her, butterflies on your stomach. And lagi mong iniisip na siya, siya na nga ang mundo mo. She's your everything. She's your unicorn.

"Will you be my girlfriend? :)"

"Yeah. <3"

With these simple words, another relationship begins. Which leads you to..

Stage Three: Honeymoon

This is the stage that you could actually express and show your affection to one another. All the things you want to do as a couple. You always felt like "'twas a dream come true." The girl you want so so badly, is finally yours now. You share all your happiness moments like nagsusubuan habang kumakain, endless dates, at mas nakikilala nyo ang isa't isa. Hayyy,, ang sarap ng feeling ng ma inlove.

After a few months, like any other normal relationship, it'll take you to..

Stage Four: Comfortable

"Be Yourself Stage". Hindi ko masasabing masaya, or either malungkot na stage 'to. It's just that parang wala lang, comfortable na kayo sa isa't isa. Wala ng ilangan. Pero gaya ng ilan, hindi nila kayang i-take charge ang kanilang mga roles and responsibilities. Yung mga iba kase, hindi nila kayang mag grow up ng sabay. Sometimes couple doesn't realize that they're actually taking his/her partner for granted.
Paano ba nag te-take for granted ang each individual?

Hindi nyo na ginagawa ng sabay yung mga dati nyong ginagawa na magkasama. Mostly kapag kumain, umuwi, kapag gumigimik. (At mas madalas ka pang mag birthday kesa makipag date sakanya).
Bihira na mag-text(Kadalasang dahila ng pag-aaway)
Kapag nagdodota ka, at tumawag siya. Kung dati, takot na takot kang malaman nya na naglalaro ka, sa halip e hindi mo na sinasagot ang tawag niya. Imbis na mag "Alt+QQ" ka, na "GG" na lang ang mga kalaro mo.

Nakita mo ba ang mga pagbabago? Yan ang mga ilan sa mga signs na nag te-take for granted na ang isa sa inyo. Which is, minsan nakaka wala na ng gana.

Kung hindi mo talaga kayang mag balance at feeling mo di mo na kaya. It will definitely take you to..

Stage Five: Tolerance

At this stage, medyo nakaka halata ka na, na parang wala ng spark sa inyong dalawa. Yung dating babae na pinag kakabaliwan mo at halos ikamatay mo nang mag away kayo, e ngayon, hindi ka makapaniwala that you arrived at this stage. Palagi nalang nag-aaway. Kahit yung simpleng bagay lang, pinag-aawayan. Minsan pa nga kahit wala ng dahilan nag-aaway pa kayo.

G: San mo gustong kumain?(Medyo pagod at mainit ang ulo)

B: Ikaw? San mo gustong kumain?(Badtrip. Natalo kasi sa pustahan sa dota)

G: WHY DON"T YOU JUST DECIDE? I asked you first?!

B: I'm just concern babe and besides ang gusto mo e gusto ko na rin.

G: *sigh* Ano bang problema mo? I asked you first, you can't even decide yourself? Alam mo para kang bata, gusto mo lagi kong sinasabi kung ano ang dapat mong gawin. Grow up!

Pareho silang sira ang araw. Pero kung isa man sa kanila e, hindi pina-iral ang init ng ulo. Edi sana walang argument na mangyayari. Everyday, walang bago, puro ganyan. Away dito, away doon. Then the next day bati nanaman. Or simply nakakasawa.
Napakahirap isipin na, kahit gusto mong ayusin ang lahat at kalimutan ang mga nangyari. It's not enough for some reasons. Ano yung reason? Ayun nga ang mahirap, hindi mo alam ang reason.

From this stage, it'll go to..

Stage Six: Downhill

You want to put things back to normal. Pilit mong iniisip kung bakit kayo humantong sa ganitong sitwasyon. Picking up each pieces na nasisira at pilit na ibinabalik. Pero yung effort na yun, parang nawawala na. Lalo na kapag ikaw lang ang gumagawa at nag e-effort. Gusto mo ng sumuko dahil ginawa mo na ang lahat. Unti-unti ka ng ginuguho ng pagod at paghihirap.

And mostly for all couples, it will end up to..

Stage Seven: Breaking up

This is the worst and saddest stage ever. If you'll reminisce all the memories that you had in first stage up to stage three. You really can't remember how you guys made it up to here, which is the worst part. You started to think something's wrong. Everything seems not working out with you two. Until you decided to, yeah, break up and hoping that it's really for the best. Then you'll end up and leave each other like in stage one, as strangers..

----------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, we, guys, are the ones who can't move on that easily. Ewan ko kung bakit, pero oo, totoo yun. Maniwala man kayong mga girls o hindi. :))

"Carla Tiamzon is in a relationship with Phil Younghusband"

Aw.. Ang sakit makita ang relationship status ng pinaka mamahal mo. Ganun pala talaga kabilis mag move on ang mga girls(Pero hindi lahat, whew! Buti nalang magaling akong mag playsafe). Mabibigla ka na lang may pinang palit na siya sayo. Ang sakit kaya nun.

Ako, ilang years din ang inabot ko bago ako maka move on sa ex ko. Mahirap talaga for us guys to move on. Kase pag nagmahal kaming mga lalaki ng tunay, tiyak yan. WAGAS! :))

May mga time pa nga na tinatawagan yung ex nila saying " I miss you" then the girl ended up saying "Are you drunk?". Ay, basag ka sir. :((

Hayyyyyy.. Ang sakit isipin na dati, sabay kayong naglalakad ng same path. E ngayon, it's parting time na, you'll never have the same path, never again..

"Ang love parang Mathematics, laging problema ang X."

----------------------------------------------------------------

This is based on the short film "Strangers, again" by WongFu Productions. Try to watch it if you have time. It's really great I tell you. Strangers, again.

Installing Bittorent

2011-07-09T07:52:00.000-07:00

First of all, what is a Bittorent?

Bittorent is a software wherein it uses P2P or peer-2-peer protocol file sharing. Just like any other softwares for file sharing. For example like, Bearshare for music and movies, uTorrent, and LimeWire, the former popular downloading software which is now out-of-date.

What is the purpose of Bittorent unlike any other softwares?

Well, priority can be adjusted the way you want it to be. For example you're in a hurry and want to download a certain file which consumes a small period of time.

It also uses "Start automatically when windows starts up" settings which will be discuss on how to configure it later on, and etc.

You can download almost everything like softwares, ebooks, movies, music, games, and etc. When I said "almost" I mean, ANYTHING!

So, let's start! :D

How to Install:

1. You need to download the software. Download the latest version as much as possible to make you updated and preventing any technical issues with regards to the software. The software can be downloaded here.

2. Execute the file and proceed by clicking "Next".

3. Click I Agree until you reached the point that asked you to choose installation location

At this point, it's your own choice. Depending on your desired location so it would be easy for you to locate its directory.

4. Additional Settings will be the next afterwards, leave all the fields checked. Like this:

5. At this part, you will see this:

If you would like to set BitTorrent web search as a default search engine, you may leave it checked same as with the toolbar. (But I recommend you not using it.)

Anyway, most importantly, you have to leave the EULA or the End-User License Agreement checked for you to be able to proceed. Then click install.

6. Unlike any other software, it won't prompt any dialogue box if its whether you want to restart your PC or anything. A notification icon will appear at the notification area.(At the left side of the task bar). Like this:

But after updating several times, it may turn violet.

7. Then that's it. You can use BitTorent now.

How to download files using Bittorent:

1. You have to know where you could search torrent files. Unlike any other downloading softwares, BitTorrent uses a different file with respect to its supported executive downloads. Try using "friendly nethood" GOOGLE. You could see almost everything on google but. I'll try to be more specific so I'll give you some:

Torrentz(Recommended)
PirateBay
Mininova(I'm not sure if it's still working, it requires registration as far as I know)

2. Search on what you want to download, or any keyword will do.

3. You have to read for this carefully. As you can see on the image above, there are green numbers and blue numbers. Green numbers, stands for "seeds" and for blue numbers stands for "peers". Download the one which has more seeds(has many numbers of seeds). Find the "Download this torrent" text. Because some of the websites are a bit tricky.

4. Click the file that you want to download. Then after downloading, right click the file then choose "open with bittorent" but basically, it executes itself and then opening the BitTorrent window automatically.

It should look like this:

5. Assuming your download is done.

Right click on the name of the file that you're currently downloading, and click the "Open containing folder". Then it's finished. Now you know how to use the BitTorrent! :D

FAQS

Q: Is this piracy?

A: As far as I am concern, it's not a piracy for me. I only use this for my personal purposes. As long as you don't violate any terms and conditions such as distributing of what you've downloaded. It's not.

Q: What are seeds and peers?

A: Seeds are persons who already finished downloading it and the more the seed is, the more your download gets faster. And for peers, these are persons who are currently downloading the file.

Q: Is it possible to encounter threats such as viruses?

A: Definitely yes, It's not my fault if there's any technical issues occurred. BitTorrent is safe. But not with the files that you're downloading. I mean, not anytime.

Q: Any suggestions or techniques to prevent threats?

A: READ. That's the most important. You have to read attentively. Comments of other people about the file you're trying to download are very helpful too. Like example: "qwertyboy06: LOL this is fake damn it!" Then the other one replied, "asdfgirl09: yeah it doesn't work." or "asdfgirl09: don't download it, bad quality"

It always depends on you. Download at your own risk. >:D

Q: Will it slow my internet connection?

A: Yes, it may slow your internet because it adds more traffic on your local area connection. But as your downloaded file progresses and finished, your connection will be on its normal speed again.

And I end my tutorial here. I hope this tutorial helped you a lot! Heads out and keep on downloading! :P

Peace out! :))

That's an Art!

Cablesssss

2011-06-06T07:02:00.000-07:00

Having problems on your computer cables? Hate seeing spaghetti-like wires?

There's actually a way, and yes, on its SIMPLEST way!

You don't actually need procedures, but, well, uhhh--(enough of the fillers my gawd!).

No, seriously. Just take a look at this photo to avoid your mind blowing like hell:

You just need paper clips and ~~not working~~ any computer cables. Then voila! No more stirred wires.

Great ideaaaaaaaaaaa isn't itttttttt?

PSP3DPlugin v2.0 Released

2011-05-30T03:15:00.000-07:00

Wizardry at its finest — I’m talking the PSP 3D Plugin v2.0 from PSPWizard! Magically this plugin, which is also entered in the PSP Genesis Competition, adds 3D (real depth) to a variety of PSP titles — more than 50 now! So find your red/cyan anaglyph glasses and get playing because if 3D doesn’t nauseate you then you’ll no doubt dig this.

It’s PSP like you’ve never seen before … unless of course you’ve been jamming earlier versions, then you already know what’s up.
PSP 3D v2.0 CHANGELOG

“in-game” menu to configure the 3d behavior (press & hold “start” for 5 seconds to bring up the menu)
direct save/load game specific settings from the menu
FIFA11 and The 3rd Birthday are now supported
FF7 Crisis Core is stable now and Gods Eater Burst is working as well, but with limitations: Each color needs to be drawn separately which results in some flicker … depending on the current frame rate this is more or less acceptable
not 100% confirmed but it should work now with 6.20 PRO B5 and upwards

Well, you won't try it unless it definitely works with your desired games. So, fasten your seat-belts for these list:

Despicable me
Ape Escape

IGN takes a look for some scene analysis.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 vs Nokia E63

2011-05-24T19:38:00.000-07:00

For the past few years, this issue hit it all over the internet yet still undecided which is which. So let us witness as I list their each distinctive merits.

No time for warm up, lets start with

Appearance

Nokia E63


BlackBerry Curve 8520

Both Nokia E63 and BlackBerry Curve 8520 fully supports the QWERTY keyboard which neatly fits in your hand. With QWERTY keyboard, typing and sending messages makes it so comfortable.

Nokia E63 weighs much than BlackBerry Curve 8520 for about 20g where in Nokia E63 weighs 126g and 106g for BlackBerry Curve 8520. The lighter, the more comfortable you used to it. So, BlackBerry Curve 8520 got it.

Their LCD size tied up for 320x240 pixels which are both presentably great.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 has dedicated media keys(like shortcut keys) that can be found at the top part which can control music. Skip over songs, pause music if someone's calling you, or repeat your favorites over and over. You can all do that with the easy-access buttons.

Nokia E63 uses the "old school" navigation button while BlackBerry Curve 8520 has the newest trackpad navigation which your finger glides over it.

Features

BlackBerry Curve 8520 supports more audio formats than Nokia E63, BUT, Nokia has the ability to be connected to a amplifier due to its audio jack supported.

They have both Wi-Fi enabled and Bluetooth supported, so, nothing much to say about this.

Nokia E63 got the GPS supported, therefore those who loves camping, well this phone fits you.

Unfortunately, these two aren't touchscreen supported. >:D

Technology

They're both Java supported, and luckily Nokia E63 have an OS called Symbian OS 9.2(sorry not familiar with that). Well unfortunately, it wasn't an android. LOL.

Let's all have a summary.

Appearance:

BlackBerry Curve 8520 ★★★★★ Very Efficient

Nokia E63 ★★★★ Efficient

Features:

BlackBerry Curve 8520 ★★★★ Efficient

Nokia E63 ★★★★★ Very Efficient

Others:

BlackBerry Curve 8520 ★★★★ Efficient

Nokia E63 ★★★★ Efficient

Overall:

BlackBerry Curve 8520 ★★★★ Efficient

Nokia E63 ★★★★ Efficient

This face-off is not complete with out a winner. With a unanimous, unbiased and based on the summary above. IT"S A TIE! XDD

These two made it 'til the very end and made a tough battle. But unfortunately, it's still depends upon your personality and desire.

~That's all folks! Have a great day. :))

The Social Network Class

2011-05-21T19:38:00.000-07:00

Imagine your social networks having a class in a single room. There's a guy who envy the other, BFF or best friends forever, an emo who seperates him/herself, a funny/joker guy, the geek/nerd of the class, campus crushes, etc.

And this social network class is composed of:

This photo is from DeviantArt.

Twitter looks like a sweet little girl but once you get her to talk, she won’t stop.
Tumblr is a whacky, funny and open minded girl, she likes to play a lot and likes to reminisce her childhood memories.
DeviantART is a loud, colorful, and artsy girl. She’s just a green version of Tumblr if you want the short version of it, just more of a weeaboo.
Livejournal is a classy kind of girl who likes writing. She’s also a part of the newspaper club.
Facebook is the class rep. Popular guy who’s handy at almost everything.
Myspace was once the king of the campus. But after awhile, he got boring so everybody ditched him for Facebook. He misses the attention so he’s always trying to one up Facebook. He even got a makeover recently too. He has permanent eye bags because he tries too hard.
Youtube is a charismatic guy who's born as an entertainer.
And last but not least, Blogger. He’s a little nerdy but an easygoing fellow. Nobody really notices him though.

Friendster Photos

2011-05-21T07:47:00.000-07:00

Afraid of your photos getting deleted from your "old friend" Friendster account? Well you don't have to.

There are other software I've tried that will scan your visible photos from your, let's say Facebook account. Yes, it works, it saves ALL the present photos. But the problem is, ALL. It also saves/downloads other unwanted pictures. Been there, than that. I strongly believe it wouldn't help you.

Now, here are the easy steps on how to transfer pictures from Friendster to Facebook easily. You’ll need Mozilla Firefox browser for this trick to work.

1. Log-in to your Friendster account and go to the photo album section of your account.
2. Browse each picture in one of your albums. This will make the pictures download faster and avoid missing photos.
3. On your Mozilla Firefox menu, click Tools >> Page Info or use the shortcut button by pressing Alt+t then Press I. This will open the Page Info window.
4. Click the Media Icon on top of the Page info window.

5. Look for Image Type files that starts with http://photos.friendster.com and/or with .jpeg/.jpg extension file

6. Select all the images that you want to save. You can see the preview of each picture at the bottom of Page Info window.
7. Click Save As.
8. You will be prompted for a Directory to save the selected pictures. You can create a new folder by pressing the New Folder button.
9. Click Save.
10. You will see that your selected photos are being downloaded to your selected folder.

Now you can use the Facebook upload pictures function and upload your newly exported pictures and you're done!

Face-off: Cracker vs Hacker

2010-12-22T18:06:00.000-08:00

Which is the bad guy and which have the good purpose? Let's make it to the point for the reason it's been a while since I updated this blog.

A hacker?

A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. A hacker. Wiki's definition.

Basically, we know that the hacker is a bad-mad-man-who-does-not-know-computer-ethics thingy. But if you'll describe a hacker, it's hard. Parang dinedescribe mo lang ang hangin. Indefinite, unsure. Although the term existed in early 60's and been around for like centuries. Hackers nowadays are remembered as the bad with dark missions in the world of web. But not all, I mean, hackers are originally derived as "cracker" which has the good deeds.

And a cracker?

I tried to search for the word "cracker" in Wiki and somehow didn't find any useful information aside from it's a salty biscuit food. Haha.

As far as I know, crackers are in for a job for a good purpose. BUT, of course not all crackers. Crackers that has good purpose in some cases are hired to protect files or simply will make a program to fight against hacker, providing penetration testing services or otherwise making efforts on the side of the angels. Many others use their powers for evil, however, as we are all too painfully aware. Yes a hacker.

To make the water more clear. A hacker came from a cracker. Wherein a cracker is the good side and the hacker is the, ugh, black sheep okay. (It's like a movie, betrayed by his own race. Haha).

I hope you finally got the jargons. If not, read again. If still not working, you'll find these persons under your bed tonight. Haha.

~~HACKERS AND CRACKERS. If I didn't made your identities correctly, don't hesitate to pm me.~~ I hope they're not that sensitive. T.T

See ya peeps! :))

Tech Review: PSP

2010-12-12T00:04:00.000-08:00

Yes it's a PSP. But not as PlayStation Portable, this time it's PlayStation Phone!

Although its release date is still not set. Engadget is saying a 2010 release could happen, but 2011 seems more realistic

Basically, it looks like a PSP Go physically but not, of course, how it works and its specification respectively. Yep, yung paborito nating analog hub wala. But, as you can see at the center part, meron siyang multi-touch pod. And also the L & R button (shoulder trigger).

It doesn't support memory stick anymore but a microSD.

PSP Phone Specs:

Processor: 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655
Memory: 512MB RAM; 1GB ROM
Screen: in the range of 3.7 to 4.1 inches
Media: microSD (As what's written above. It doesn't support memory stick anymore.)

Well, maybe hackers should be happy for having this kind of phone specially those PSP hackers. A new thing to explore, they say. Lol.

Let's just wait for the updates and hope for the best! :)
