It's quite fitting for the Valentine's Day as two huge online gaming companies here in the Philippines, Level Up! and e-Games, merges. What does this mean for the Online Gaming community? Well, it will be amazing! Imagine, one massive national event for all the games alone will be epic! Official Announcement below: IP E-Game Ventures Inc.

The Samsung UAE seems to have slipped when the GT-I9300 seems to have appeared in the list. Is this a sign that Samsung will release a new flagship phone soon? Or someone just added something to the list earlier than expected. Image from Redmondpie.com A preview of Samsung Galaxy S III was leaked some time ago and the internet was buzzing ever since. According to the leak, the new Galaxy

When the Mayans predicted that the world will end on 2012, maybe it isn't the world that will end but the Internet. Or they did run out of stones to write on. In any case, the file sharing world is under attack from FBI as they keep on shutting the File Sharing websites one by one (see the list at the end of this post).

Megaupload was one of the most used file sharing website in the world. Today, it was taken down. Not because of a SOPA or PIPA protest. Not because it was hacked. But because it was forced to be shutdown by the federal government due to piracy. That's the short version before you go all tl;dr on me. But if you want to know more, read on below. There were four individuals arrested, the founder

The short and sweet answer? Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) are two legislations being passed through congress in order to give the USA government ultimate powers to manipulate the internet DNS and block website whom they think is infringing copyrights. It's a power very open for abuse and could really break the internet as we know it. Despite the attractive and

After several months of waiting, Philippines has finally a PC version of the PSP game, Bounty Hounds Online and it is published by one of the country's biggest MMO publisher, Playweb Games Inc (Level Up!

The internet as we know it will have a massive online protest and will be shutting down its services on January 18, 2012 from 8am to 8pm EDT. Well not exactly the entire internet but several prominent websites will go down to show their support to Anti-SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). But what is SOPA anyway? SOPA is a bill introduced by the US Congress on October 26, 2011. It will authorize US

As I was doing my usual stroll on malls here in Davao City. A certain store got my attention as I saw a PS Vita displayed. Well not one PS Vita but two. Which made me wonder if the Sony Philippines has already launched the PS Vita or it is simply silently creeping into Philippine shores.

HTC Announced not long ago that they will not support GB in HTC Desire. I figured that my 1.5 year old phone will not have a chance in reaching the level of Ice Cream Sandwich. But I had a tiny bit of hope when MIUI and other custom ROM makers introduced Gingerbread (Android 2.3) to my old smartphone. Now Android 4.0 is around the corner and I can't seem to feel the excitement as my phone has
