Facebook acquires Instagram for $1 Billion

2012-04-10T13:06:00.006+08:00

The Biggest news today, Facebook acquires Instagram for $1 Billion Dollars!

Instagram is probably one of the most popular photo sharing app, since its debut last 2012 on iOS platform it has garnered almost 27 million users and just last week they have launched it to android platform and only within 24 hours it has almost 3 million users on Android.

Just today (Monday) Mark Zuckerburg announced it on his Facebook timeline that they will acquire Instagram.

“We need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram’s strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook,”

“Providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing these two companies together,”

Zuckerberg said.

Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom also announced it on Instagrams Blog.

When Mike and I started Instagram nearly two years ago, we set out to change and improve the way the world communicates and shares. We’ve had an amazing time watching Instagram grow into a vibrant community of people from all around the globe. Today, we couldn’t be happier to announce that Instagram has agreed to be acquired by Facebook.

Every day that passes, we see more experiences being shared through Instagram in ways that we never thought possible. It’s because of our dedicated and talented team that we’ve gotten this far, and with the support and cross-pollination of ideas and talent at a place like Facebook, we hope to create an even more exciting future for Instagram and Facebook alike.

It’s important to be clear that Instagram is not going away. We’ll be working with Facebook to evolve Instagram and build the network. We’ll continue to add new features to the product and find new ways to create a better mobile photos experience.

The Instagram app will still be the same one you know and love. You’ll still have all the same people you follow and that follow you.You’ll still be able to share to other social networks. And you’ll still have all the other features that make the app so fun and unique.
We’re psyched to be joining Facebook and are excited to build a better Instagram for everyone.

Best,
Kevin

CEO, Instagram

My personal opinion about Facebook buying Instagram, I hope Facebook will really make the photo sharing experience even better, hope they won't change anything that will pissed off the current Instagram users and maybe we would expect that Instagram won't just be availble to smartphone users, I guess it will be also available on the web.

Apple's Newest iPad

2012-03-08T13:40:00.005+08:00

One of the most anticipated event for all the tech lovers, bloggers, geek, apple product lovers, iPad lovers is the unveiling of the Apple's newest iPad.

Just this morning Apple has already introduced the new iPad, and i'm going to discuss what are the upgrades of the new iPad.

Unfortunately the new iPad is not called as iPad 3 or iPad HD not like every body has predicted, Apple just called it the new iPad.

So what's new with the latest iPad of Apple:

Processor and Graphics
Apple has added an A5X ARM based unit that has quad-core graphics but has retain the dual core base unit. Apple said that. The gaming experience of the new iPad will be awesome.

Design
For the design itself I was surprise to see a similar design with iPad 2, and it still has a home button, plus it's not an edge to edge display, but the new iPad is a little bit thick than iPad 2.

Screen
It still has the 9.7 inch size but it already has a Retina display, just like in iPhone 4 and 4S with a resolution of a whopping 2048 x 1536 pixels.

Camera
The new iPad has a 5 megapixel camera with a 5-element lens, auto face-detection, auto focus lock and image stabilisation for videos, plus it has an iSight, the camera of the new iPad is the same as with iPhone 4S the only difference is iPhone 4S has 8 Megapixel.

Voice Dictation
Sorry to say but Siri won't be on the new iPad, only a voice dictation program. You can use this program to write messages, take notes, search the web and many more.

New Connectivity
The new iPad has a 4G LTE but I think it will only be availble in the US only. The 4G LTE makes your web browsing experience even faster.

New iPad price
The new iPad still has 16, 32 and 64 GB with a price of $499 (16GB), $599(32GB), $699(64GB). It has the same price as the iPad 2 before but the price of iPad 2 has been reduced to $399 for the 16GB.

Apple's Newest iPad

So what do you think about Apple's newest iPad, is that what you expected of the new iPad, Is it still worth buying?

The Kony 2012 Movement

2012-03-08T00:31:00.003+08:00

Maybe most you are not familiar with the man in the image, even I didn't recognize or know this man, but just today I have learned that theirs this movement spreading all through out the web, it's the Kony 2012 Movement.

Joseph Kony is known as one of the world's worst war criminals and the leader of a guerilla group from Uganda called Lord's Resistance Army or LRA. Joseph Kony is well known for abducting children and including them in his army, he has murdered lot's of men, women, children, and adults, and up to know this man is still at large.

What you are about to watch is the Kony 2012 film done by Invisible Children that wants to let people be aware of this man Joseph Kony not to pay tribute on his name but to raise support for the arrest and set a precedent for international justice. The video is about 30 minutes but I hope that you'll give time to watch this video.

The Kony 2012 Movement

We have the power to change this, let's support the movement of Invisible Children organization by sharing this video.

iPad 3 Concept feature

2012-03-05T21:32:00.007+08:00

While browsing my facebook account just this afternoon, I've stumbled upon a post by yugatech blog about the iPad 3 Concept feature, so I decided to re-share it.

For the past few months, there have been so many speculations about the upcoming iPad 3, some even made their own designs and features of iPad 3, by editing some photos and videos, but I guess this video you're about to watch would probably be the best iPad 3 Concept feature ever made, it's has a CG effect on it with a realistic touch to it.

The main features of this video ( iPad 3 Concept feature ) is an edge to edge screen, no more home button, pure touch screen, plus a magnetic side body with Near field Communication also known as NFC that can connect to other iPad 3 and I guess the last feature would probably be the most awesome in this video, the 3D hologram display, I hope that in the near future this would push through.

Samsung Galaxy Beam: A Projector Phone

2012-03-01T23:28:00.003+08:00

After Nokia announced it's 41 Megapixel 808 PureView phone at MWC 2012 just a few days ago, now it's Samsung's time to unveil their latest phone, The Samsung Galaxy Beam.

Maybe you asked why is it called Galaxy Beam, it's because this latest phone by Samsung is a projector phone, most of the techie people know that Samsung Galaxy Beam is not the first projector phone out there, LG has their own projector phone and as a matter of fact this was not the first projector phone of Samsung, but an upgraded version, it's slimmer and more updated Android.

As you can see at the image above, the projector is placed on top of the phone and it has a 15-lumen bulb and projector that can shoot a 640 x 480 image that can go up 50 inches. Samsung Galaxy Beam runs with a 1GHz dual core processor with a 4 inch screen that has 800 x 480 resolution, rear camera with 5 Megapixel while the font facing camera has VGA.

Samsung Galaxy Beam: A Projector Phone

On a personal note, I don't think it's practical to buy this phone, having only a 15 lumen bulb and projector that can boost up to 50 inches, with 20-30 inches regular size, it's not typical to use it for a business purpose presentations, maybe if you'll just want to show some photos or videos to your family or friends and instead of showing them one by one your phones screen, you'll just use the projector. I just don't think that I would buy this phone, just for the sake of having a projector, I don't have a use for it. And that is just my own opinion, so what do you think about the new Samsung Galaxy Beam guys? comment down below your answers!

Nokia 808 PureView with 41 MP camera

2012-02-28T00:54:00.008+08:00

I was browsing my newsfeed on Facebook and one of my friends just posted this photo of a Nokia phone that says 41 MP camera, at first I thought, maybe it was just a typo error, I thought maybe it was 14 MP but I was WRONG!!! I visited Nokia's website and I was BLOWN AWAY by this badboy phone.

Nokia just launched their newest phone which is Nokia 808 PureView and I'll just go straight away to the most anticipated feature of this phone, the 41 MP camera, yup you read it right Nokia 808 PureView offers a whooping 41 MP camera, isn't that awesome, I guess a lot of photographers, aspiring photographers, photo enthusiast or just loves taking pictures with their phone will definitely love this. Now I think this would toughen the competition on smartphones, with Apple is set to launch the iPhone 5, and rumors of Samsung Galaxy S3, but today is Nokia's day and I guess no one can top that 41 MP camera.

Nokia 808 PureView with 41 MP camera

Here are some sample photos taken from Nokia 808 PureView:

iPhone 5 rumors: release date and speculations

2012-02-05T22:03:00.005+08:00

Before iPhone 4S was released by Apple, I blogged about the iPhone 5 rumors but unfortunately a lot of us were disappointed because instead of iPhone 5 it was only iPhone 4S but still, because of Apple's brilliant marketing efforts a lot of people still bought the iPhone 4S and just after a week since the release of iPhone 4S their are already rumors of iPhone 5 being released this 2012 and guess what, it's already 2012 and a lot of techies out there are blogging about the iPhone 5 rumors, the release date and speculations, now let's see what are the predicted features of the new iPhone 5.

iPhone 5 rumors: release date and speculations

Apple has not yet given an official statement on when would the release date of iPhone 5, so there are a lot of speculations around the tech world and I'll just discussed the most important predictions on what would the iPhone 5 will look like inside and out.

A lot of tech people are speculating that iPhone 5 will be released this March together with iPad 3 if not it would be on June.
There are 5 major features that a lot of tech bloggers are expecting to be in the iPhone 5.

Brand new design
iPhone 4S was just similar to iPhone 4 so this iPhone 5 we are expecting on a revamp on the design and one of them is the screen size, it would be larger around 4 inches plus maybe there will be no home button anymore and a maybe a bit slimmer. If it's really slimmer I hope that it wouldn't be like the latest iPod touch.

4G LTE
Maybe It's about time that 4G will be included in iPhone 5, and if that's the case your web browsing experience would be faster and you would enjoy it more.

A6 Processor
A6 Processor was first mention in the upcoming iPad 3 and maybe it would likely be included on iPhone 5, with this A6 Processor there'll be more horsepower and better graphics for the iPhone 5 plus it would better for the 4G LTE also.

Camera
Even though iPhone 4S has 8 Mega Pixel I guess we are expecting adjustments on this category, iPhone 5 might have 12 Mega Pixel and 2 Mega Pixel on the front camera.

iOS 6
A new OS would be likely to come on the release date of iPhone 5.

Here are some of the videos I've found on what would be the look of the upcoming iPhone 5:

If you're planning to buy an iPhone, are you going to wait for the iPhone 5? and If you already have an iPhone are you going to upgrade it into iPhone 5? comment down below.

2,500 page views in one day

2012-01-20T22:11:00.007+08:00

I'm so happy right now that I want to share this post to all of you, as you can see my title topic is 2,500 page views in one day, this is the first time that blobbs of b-boy got this high page views in one day, yeah I know that this number is just regular to some bloggers out there or even higher in just one day, but because I consider myself as a newbie blogger even though my blog is almost 3 years, for me this is an achievement already.

2,500 page views in one day

For the past weeks or almost a month I've been busy in my day job and if ever I have some free time I don't have a topic to blog about, I know that there are a lot topics to be blogged but sometimes because I'm already to tired to come up a post in my blog I end up not doing it, but just 2 days ago, I saw a blog post of my fellow blogger about the second video scandal of Ramgen and Janelle, I decided to give it a shot, and in just a few minutes I already come up with a post regarding the Part 2 Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla and because of that post Blobbs of B-Boy garnered so many views in just an hour and that was the first time I saw it, and the traffic source was coming from google search.

It's not just the page views that I'm so happy about but my earnings in adsense, again this is also a first to me that in just 2 days I earned $6, just because of that post about the Part 2 Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla it's $3 per day, that is not a normal thing to Blobbs of B-boy :), again I know that some bloggers earn much higher than $3 a day, but please bear with me, 'coz I'm just so so happy :)), yesterday almost every minute I check on my Monetize tab and almost every hour theirs a $0.20-0.50 increase, the crazy about that is, I can't focus on my day job because I keep on checking my STATS and MONETIZE tab :)).

Because of this I'm now eager and motivated to blog more and blog harder. :)

My thoughts on the Ramgen Revilla and Janelle Manahan Video Scandal

2012-01-20T09:10:00.005+08:00

This is just a short post about My Thoughts on the Ramgen Revilla and Janelle Manahan Video Scandal. It's been 2 weeks since the first upload of the video scandal of Ramgen and Janelle and just this week a part 2 video scandal was uploaded, I also made a post about the part 2 scandal video of Ramgen and Janelle, you could check it if you want.

My thoughts on the Ramgen Revilla and Janelle Manahan Video Scandal

First of all, I admire Janelle for being strong despite this problems that she has encountered, her boyfriend Ramgen was murdered, she was shot in the face and almost killed her, the first video scandal was uploaded and another video scandal was uploaded this week and despite all of this Janelle remained though/strong and that's what I admire about her, I saw her interviews on TV and she courageously answered all of the questions that was given to her.

Because of that ramgen and janelle video scandal, a lot of netizens wanted to download and watch the video, but I have to warn you, according to Senator Bong Revilla, downloading video scandal specifically the ramgen and janelle video scandal would put you to jail, you could check my post about that law. The one who uploaded the video should be caught already before he/she spreads another video scandal of ramgen and janelle, but I hope that ramgen and janelle should have not recorded themselves making love, this video scandal thingy wouldn't be included in the obstacles that Janelle should overcome.

I really don't get the point of two couples shooting their selves while making love, why shoot yourselves? shouldn't be making love a private thing, and maybe 90% of the time the guy is the one who wants to film or shoot their making love moments, So my advice for all of the girls out there, don't allow your boyfriend or lover to record or shoot your making love moments, maybe for some couples there's a thrilling/excitement sensation but I tell you, you'll just regret it in the end, learn from this recent ramgen janelle video scandal and other celebrity video scandals, you might just end up regretting it. I know that it's not my business to meddle with your making love moments, It's really up to you if you want to record, shoot or film it, you should just be ready for the consequences.

Uploading Video Scandals is a crime in the Philippines

2012-01-19T11:30:00.005+08:00

Because of the recent uploading of the Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla I decided to make a post about the consequences for Uploading Video Scandals.

Uploading Video Scandals is a crime in the Philippines

To all those people who spreads, shares, distribute a video scandal on the web will be legally responsible for defying the Republic Act 9995, or also known as the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009 specifically the Section 4. A lot of people are much aware already about this bill because of the Video Scandals of Hayden Kho with Katrina Halili, Maricar Reyes and a Brazilian Model.

To give you more understanding about this bill, here is the Section 4 of Republic Act 9995, or the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009.

Section 4. Prohibited Acts. - It is hereby prohibited and declared unlawful for any person:

(a) To take photo or video coverage of a person or group of persons performing sexual act or any similar activity or to capture an image of the private area of a person/s such as the naked or undergarment clad genitals, public area, buttocks or female breast without the consent of the person/s involved and under circumstances in which the person/s has/have a reasonable expectation of privacy;

(b) To copy or reproduce, or to cause to be copied or reproduced, such photo or video or recording of sexual act or any similar activity with or without consideration;

(c) To sell or distribute, or cause to be sold or distributed, such photo or video or recording of sexual act, whether it be the original copy or reproduction thereof; or

(d) To publish or broadcast, or cause to be published or broadcast, whether in print or broadcast media, or show or exhibit the photo or video coverage or recordings of such sexual act or any similar activity through VCD/DVD, internet, cellular phones and other similar means or device.

So guys we are now aware about this bill and you should just avoid Uploading Video Scandals on the net, because you might just end up in jail.

Part 2 Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla

2012-01-17T21:58:00.011+08:00

Since last week the Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Scandal has been all over the web and has been the topic in all the social networking sites, and today most of my fellow bloggers already blogged about the Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla Part 2 that's why I decided to give my thoughts about this Scandal Video.

To those of you who thought that you'll find the link of the Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla Part 2 here, well im sorry to disappoint you but you won't find any, as a respect to Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla, I decided not to post any Download link of the Sex Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla Part 2 . I haven't seen the video itself and I'm planning not to watch it also but one some of my blogger friends has an info on what the Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla Part 2 looked like.

Part 2 Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla

The location of the Part 2 Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla was in a bedroom and the scandal video is about 4 minutes and people are saying that it exposes more of Janelle Manahan.
But Janelle Manahan is already aware about this Part 2 Scandal Video, one of her followers on Twitter tweeted her saying “@Janelle_Manahan my friend told me, may part2 na daw ung private videos niyo. Sana bilisan na ung paghuli para d na lumabas ung iba pa nyong vids...” and Janelle Manahan replied “@gabriellerufino can i please have the link to it so i can report it, thank you!”

Despite this controversies that's occurring in Janelle's life I admire her for being strong, I have seen her interviews in tv and she face all the questions given to her with courage, I know that it's hard for her but I know that you can overcome this obstacles in your life and I hope and pray that the one who uploaded the scandal videos would be caught already.

what's your opinion about this Scandal Video of Janelle Manahan and Ramgen Revilla Part 2 ? share your thoughts on the comment section.

Review on HTC Sensation XE

2012-01-02T09:35:00.011+08:00

My first post for year 2012, Happy New Year and Belated Merry Christmas guys, how's your holiday season? I haven't been active for the past few weeks, but now I'm back!!
Now my first post this year will be a Review on HTC Sensation XE, since my dad won a HTC Sensation XE from a penny auction site he decided to give me his iPhone 4 and he wanted the HTC Sensation XE instead, and because I wanted to try a review on this latest smartphone of HTC.

Review on HTC Sensation XE

Introducing one of the latest smartphone of HTC, the HTC Sensation XE,it's audio quality is amplified by Beats Audio or Beats by Dr. Dre, at first glance you'll think that it's just like the HTC Sensation the only difference is the red details and the logo of Beats Audio on the back, with that red details it really gives the impression that it's the HTC Beats Audio Smartphone.

HTC Sensation XE has a CPU frequency of 1.5 Ghz with that the music quality of this phone would be great, I think this would separate it from the competition, by incorporating Beats Audio, this really gives a great music experience to consumers, but let's not just focus on one thing, now let's explore the other wonders of HTC Sensation XE.

HTC Sensation XE is separated into plastic and aluminum, the reason for this is to ensure consistent Wi-Fi and GSM experience. It also has a 4.3 inch LED screen it has the same S-LCD screen with a 960 x 540 pixel resolution. The camera has 8 Mega Pixel with a built in dual flash and a front facing VGA camera, and let's not forget included in the box is the sleek Beats earphones

The HTC Sensation XE has 1730mAh battery which is pretty decent 8hrs this includes a 1.5hrs of calls, 2hrs of audio, 2hrs of streaming over Wi-Fi and 2.5hrs of video playback. Another great feature is the Internet pass-through this means that you can connect to the Internet through a USB connection with the PC with that you have a less usage of your data plan while saving money at the same time.

Official Teaser of Rurouni Kenshin

2011-12-17T10:21:00.005+08:00

On my previous post about Rurouni Kenshin, I talked about how live-adaptation movie of anime's are a trend now a days but I know that you'll agree with me that most of them weren't successful, so after learning that their will be a live-adapatation movie of Samurai X also known as Rurouni Kenshin I wasn't that excited to see because I thought that this was just one of those live action movies that will not be successful or a disappointment to us, but I won't keep my hopes down for Rurouni Kenshin because I haven't the trailer yet. And now Warner Brothers have released the Official Teaser of Rurouni Kenshin.

Official Teaser of Rurouni Kenshin

After seeing the teaser I can now say that this is worth watching and I'm already excited to watch it, Now I can't wait to see the full trailer. Official launch of the movie will be on August 25, 2012.

List of Penny Auction Sites in the Philippines

2011-12-14T09:58:00.009+08:00

Penny Auction Sites are most popular in the states, these auction sites are not your regular auction, maybe most of you doesn't know about what is a Penny Auction, I'll be giving you just a short description about it.

Penny Auction is an auction where in bidders bid on a specific item and every auction the starting price is zero, and every time someone will bid on that item, the price will increase and the increment is a penny that's why it's called Penny Auction. On every item there is a countdown and usually bidders will start to bid on that item when the timer is less than 20 sec and the catch here is every time someone bids the timer will reset to 10, 15,or 20 sec. in order for you to win you should be the last bidder when the time reaches zero and there should be no one that will outbid you.

Penny Auction Sites are popular in the states because you're like buying your favorite item for low low price, like 90% Off, yup you read it right up to 90% Off. Maybe you're asking yourself right now how do these Penny Auction Sites earn money, well they are gaining lots of money through the BID POINTS in order for you to bid you need to sign up on their website and that is free and you need to have a BID POINTS and these points or credits are expensive most of the Sites are offering 10 Bid Points for $5 that's roughly 230 pesos and with 10 BID POINTS you have a low chance of winning, so some bidders buy almost 500 BID POINTS or even a thousand.

Now Penny Auction Sites are here in the Philippines, Later on this post I'll be giving the List of Penny Auction Sites in the Philippines, but first I like to share my experience on these Penny Auction Site.

Maybe It's safe to say that the first ever Penny Auction Site in the Philippines is WINILA back in 2009 and they only lasted around a year, I was one of the first bidders of Winila and I already have bought/won a lot of items that has up to 90% off discount, Like my first win an Acer Laptop I won it for only 200 pesos, Play Station 3 for 200 pesos only check out my post about Winila Mania for some proof.

here is a photo of some of the items that I bought/won in Winila. I also won an iPhone 3GS for 250 pesos only and a lot PS3 games.

Now here are the List of Penny Auction Sites in the Philippines:

http://pisobid.com/

During the time of Winila, they don't have yet a competitor but after Winila was gone PisoBid was born but from a different company. And because they were the first Penny Auction Site to launch after Winila, Now they are considered as the No. 1 Penny Auction Site in the Philippines. They have variety of items to be auction like gadgets such as, smartphones, laptops, computers, and many more plus they also offer bags for ladies, perfume, Gift Certificates and many more.

http://bilibid.com/

Among all the Penny Auction Site in the Philippines, I think Bilibid is the most unique in terms of website layout plus it has a touch of a filipino approach with its tagalog interface. When it comes to variety of items to offer I guess Bilibid can already match up against PisoBid.

http://pinoybidders.com/

Pinoy Bidders is more on Gift Certificate, so to all those who loves Gift Certificates you should try Pinoy Bidders.

http://www.panalo.ph/

A new kid on the block, Panalo.ph is the newest Penny Auction Site in the Philippines and even though they are new the variety of the items that they offer are good, just last week they auctioned an iPhone 4S. If you have noticed it Panalo.ph's website layout is similar to PisoBid.

Now what are you waiting for, try these Penny Auction Sites try your luck maybe you could win an iPhone 4s for only 300 pesos or if you haven't thought of what gift to give to your love ones this holiday season then visit these sites.

For more information about how Penny Auction works just visit the help section of each sites that I have mentioned.

HAPPY BIDDING!!

Rurouni Kenshin Live The Movie

2011-12-09T14:01:00.006+08:00

While browsing on my news feed in Facebook a friend of mine posted a link about Rurouni Kenshin Live The Movie and at first I thought it was just the anime version instead it was a Live Movie of the famous Japanese anime show "Samurai X".

The producers of Rurouni Kenshin Live The Movie are aiming to release the movie next year (2012) and it will be available internationally and there planning to make it a series.

I guess live-action adaptations of Anime's and Manga's are a trend nowadays but most of them weren't that successful and because of that I'm not expecting so much from this movie but because this is produced by the Japanese I think they would do just fine not like if The American producers will do it just like what they did on Dragon Ball Z, Tekken the Movie, and many more, so I'm hoping that Rurouni Kenshin Live The Movie would be great.

here are some of the photos of Rurouni Kenshin Live The Movie

iPad 3 rumors

2011-11-18T09:34:00.006+08:00

I know that iPad 3 rumors were already here since the beginning of time, just kidding :), but they were already a lot of blog articles about iPad 3 rumors since the start of the year, so I just decided to blog about it also today.

iPad 3 rumors

In the US Apple already lessen the deliveries and orders for an iPad 2 and because of that a lot techy people thought that maybe iPad 3 will be likely to be seen in the supply chain of Apple.

Now let's talk about the rumored specs of iPad 3. With the latest gadget released, the iPhone 4S, a lot of Tech bloggers are saying that the new iPad might have SIRI in it, well I guess if they will put SIRI on iPad 3 it would be a perfect fit for iPad platform, you won't have to worry on typing anymore and all sorts of things. Another addition would be the FULL HD on the iPad 3 with a 2048×1536 HD display, while iPad 2 has only 1024 x 768, I think this would be great specially in games applications and other ipad apps. And the last rumor is the processor, both iPhone 4S and iPad 2 runs dual-core A5 processor and maybe the new ipad will have an A6 processor and it would either dual-core again or a quad-core. Quad-core would be so awesome, I think that would really boost up the next iPad. But just like what I posted before about the rumors about the iPhone 5, we all thought that it would be an iPhone 5 instead it was iPhone 4S, so guys don't be surprised if Apple won't be releasing an iPad 3, instead it will be an iPad 2S.

For me I think the release date and the event on ipad will be early next year (2012)

So guys what are your speculations on the new ipad? For those who already have an iPad 2 would you upgrade and buy the upcoming iPad 3 or iPad 2S? For those who are just planning to buy yet there first iPad, are you going to wait for the new iPad or your so excited to buy iPad 2 already? specially this coming holiday season.

Update:

Check out the full details of Apple's newest iPad.

Manny Pacquiao victorious again over Juan Manuel Marquez

2011-11-13T13:58:00.005+08:00

ok guys here is the result of Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez III and the judges call it a majority decision with a score of 114-114, 115-113, 116-112.

For the third meeting, again Manny Pacquiao is victorious over Juan Manuel Marquez, and for the third time also it was another controversial bout, If you have watched the fight maybe you'll agree with me and I hate to admit it but I think Juan Manuel Marquez should be the winner in that fight. Kudos to Marquez 'coz he gave Manny Pacquiao another great fight and I guess I underestimated Marquez but to tell you the truth I was quite disappointed at Manny Pacquiao, just like my previous post before the fight, I have a high expectation on Manny that he could knockout Marquez for good but after seeing the fight you could notice that Manny isn't giving enough combinations so I was shocked that he won, not that I don't want him to win, even I as a Pacquiao fan I cannot deny that Marquez was the better fighter in this bout.

After the fight there were a lot of negative feedbacks on facebook and twitter even filipinos and Pacquiao fans weren't happy with the result so the best way to settle this is a Part IV of Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez fight And there are rumors already that Bob Arum is fixing a Part IV around May of next year (2012). So If this fight will push trough, Manny should go for the kill!!

But I think the worst part here is, Floyd Mayweather will have another excuse not to fight Pacquiao, maybe he will say "I'm just superior for Manny" something like that.

Guys this are just my opinions and I also respect other opinions, maybe for them Manny Pacquiao did really got that fight so I respect that. so feel free to comment down below your opinions.

The third bout of Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez

2011-11-13T00:03:00.005+08:00

In just a matter of hours, the moment the we all have been waiting for, The third bout of Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. I think every Manny Pacquiao fans and also boxing fans out including me are excited for this bout, just like what Pacquiao is telling the media, this fight is personal to him, because we all know that this two great boxers already fought twice and those two fights we'rent that satisfying to us fans.

Now let me just give a quick summary of there 2 previous fights. The first encounter of Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez was back in 2004 and just in the first round Juan Manuel Marquez went down thrice but still he got up and finish the 12 round bout and it was a draw, and Manny Pacquiao was disappointed at the result, The Pacquiao team felt that they on that fight. For the second fight, again Marquez went down but during the latter rounds it was all slugfest by both fighters and nMarquez also had moments in that fight but the final result is a split decision in favor of Manny Pacquiao and this time the Marquez camp was the one who is disappointed at the result and also some sports analyst are saying that Marquez should've won that bout. After that fight Manny Pacquiao's career was in momentum he fought and defeated bigger boxers while Juan Manuel Marquez still wants a third match, now the Pacquiao has no options anymore on who to fight except for Floyd Mayweather who just keeps on ducking Pacquiao, so the only thing to do is to settle the score between him and Marquez.

In my opinion I think this was the first time that I saw Manny Pacquaio so determined and focused on training so hard, and I think one of his motivation is that Marquez is claiming that he defeated Pacquiao twice he even wore a shirt that says "MARQUEZ BEAT PACQUIAO

TWICE!" another motivation is of course Pacquiao wants to end the doubts of a lot of people.

Fight Predictions between Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez

After seeing how Manny Pacquiao trained for this fight Marquez won't last 10 rounds, I know that Marquez also trained so hard for this because it's personal to him also but still I go for Manny Pacquiao. Just to share a short story, when Pacquiao was fighting Miguel Cotto I wasn't sure at that time that Pacquiao would beat Cotto, because he is such a tough fighter but Pacquiao prove me wrong and he demolish Miguel Cotto, same goes for the Margarito fight, so after that I fully believe in the Skills of Manny Pacquiao.

How about you guys what are your predictions?

Blobber Boy is Page Rank 2 already!!!

2011-11-11T12:31:00.011+08:00

I think 11-11-11 is a lucky day for me in the Blogosphere, as you have already noticed in my title and the image above, Blobber Boy is Page Rank 2 already, and I just want to express the happiness and excitement that I felt, yeah I know it's just pagerank 2 and there are a lot of people that can make there blogs up to pagerank 3 quickly but I just really want to brag about it, so bare with me guys :)

Last month I don't have yet a domain and I was still blobberboy.blogspot.com and back then Blobbs of B-Boy was alread pagerank 1 and then I decided to buy a domain with the help of my mentor Sir GL3NNX but after buying a domain, I didn't know that my pagerank would be back to zero, and I was shocked and it's like I started again from scratch but a fellow blogger (sir LordCM) told me that my pagerank will be back for a couple of months and that was a relief but I still worked hard on blog hopping, promoting my blog and doing some link exchange to other blogs. And then just this morning when I was writing a new post about Floyd Mayweather, I was having a hard time to put more words on that post then suddenly I was just staring at the homepage of my blog and then I saw a little icon on the upper right corner of my Google Chrome browser with a number 2 in it, I told myself I'm already pagerank 2? I thought that maybe there is a bug on my browser so I went to prchecker.info to double check if it's really true and it is true!! I was shocked and happy, I was yelling in our office and I told myself that I have to blog about this. =) Now I have to work harder to to reach pagerank 3.

For those of you asking how did my pagerank showed in my browser, go check out my post about Google Chromes Page Rank Indicator. If your using Google Chrome as your main browser you can already see the pageranks of blogs and websites that you are visiting.

Floyd Mayweather argues with a radio DJ

2011-11-11T12:20:00.004+08:00

Yesterday I saw this post in my friends facebook account and I wanted to share it to guys, this is about Floyd mayweather arguing with a radio DJ in New York.

Shade 45 radio host Rude Jude is a critic of Floyd Mayweather and at that time Floyd was in New York in I guess he accidentally heard the DJ talking negative things about him then Floyd Mayweather called the Show to defend himself.

A lot of people are saying that Floyd Mayweather is ducking Manny Pacquiao over the past few years but this Rude Jude guy is brave enough to say it to Floyd Mayweather directly. Here it for yourself.

Floyd Mayweather argues with a radio DJ

Floyd Mayweather is just like a kid being bullied in this conversation LOL, he just won't admit it that his afraid to fight Manny Pacquiao.
