Ever since my ill-fated first relationship with Smart Bro a few years ago I switched over to Sun Cellular and Globe for my mobile internet requirements. A series of unfortunate experiences (a mix of long intermittent connection periods and bad customer support) led me to terminate as soon as the contract expired. However it looks […]
This just in! Research in Motion’s (RIM) professional grade tablet, the BlackBerry PlayBook, will be available in the Philippines starting August 6, 2011.

We currently have a demo unit of the Audio Technica XS5 Street Style Headphones. I’ve been using it in the last few days listening to various tracks on my iPhone 4 ranging from the soulful Michael Buble to the loud grinding rock of Stone Temple Pilots. My initial impressions of these cans are definitely great! […]
First let me thank everyone who blogged and joined our Unbox BlackBerry Bold 9780 Contest. The effort put into a lot of the entries are amazing and we’re definitely having a difficult time with the judging process. That said, our initial mechanics stated that we would be able to announce the winners today. However the […]
Ever since I got disappointed with Green Lantern, I lowered my expectations already with all the other movies coming our way. The fanboy in me just couldn’t handle another heartache!

The 2011 Mazda2 is filled with pleasant surprises. Some people might have low expectations given that this is perceived to be “below” the highly successful Mazda3. However the Mazda2 definitely has it’s own unique features and advantages making it an excellent choice for people looking for mid-range cars. I was initially hesitant about this car […]
Last June 10 opened to the Steven Spielberg-produced and J.J. Abrams-directed Sci-Fi pseudo-monster flick Super 8. From the initial trailers, we already assumed that it would be the following: a) a late 1970s period-piece; b) a coming-of-age story for a group of kids and c) a monster movie. What we failed to assume is how […]

Green Lantern suffered scathing reviews from movie critics including a bad 24% score at Rotten Tomatoes. Despite the bad rap […]
The Zaggmate iPad case is probably one of the most advertised cases in the market today. They have online ads all over the web via Google Ads and they’ve been featured by a lot of global tech sites. I was initially thinking of getting one when I still had my first-generation iPad but I ended […]
I tried the Audio-Technica RE70 Retro Headphones in Astro Vision in Vmall last week. It definitely wasn’t as clear and detailed as my Marshall Major Headphones but it was definitely made for listening to concerts, disco, RNB, and dance. Listening to Usher, Justin Timberlake, and Sting on these cans is just a totally different experience […]
