An Improved Smart Bro Prepaid Internet Connection
Nov 26, 2008 Internet, Wireless Technology
Just recently, Smart Telecommunications has announced the increased speed of Smart Bro prepaid internet to up to 2Mbps and dropped the price of the Smart Bro Prepaid Kit to Php 2,500.00. However, most users have not really received this promised rate for these past months.
I, myself, had several frustrations over Smart Bro Prepaid since I bought it last September 2008. I’ve had experienced frequent internet connection interruptions, with almost 5-15 minutes of disconnection. So I had to make several dialing attempts but usually ended up disappointed. I called their Smart Bro Hotline, even e-mailed them, only to end up disappointed again. It took a customer service representative a week to update me of the report, when they said I should expect a call of update within 24 hours. In fairness to them though, the customer representatives I’ve talked with are polite enough to assist me with my connection problems with Smart Bro Prepaid. Read the rest of this entry »

Watch Twilight Movie Online for FREE!
Nov 21, 2008 Movies
The Twilight movie has been considered as today’s phenomenon. On its premiere night, ticket sales soared high midnight before the showing time. The Twilight movie is expected to be a box office hit, especially to the female population and to those who have read the book. Fandango.com, an online ticket seller said that the Twilight movie is the fifth highest advanced ticket seller of all time.
Now that the “Twilight” movie will be premiering ahead in some countries, the movie producers should expect some leaked copies of the movie in the internet, especially in video sharing sites like YouTube, Megavideo, Veoh, etc.
For countries like the Philippines where movie premieres are usually delayed, some fans usually resorts to online movie streams from these video sharing sites. I have friends who spoils their excitement to a movie by watching it first online. It works to them as movie screening; if the movie is good and worth watching in cinemas, then they’ll spend bucks for it, but if it’s not worth a 150 bucks (one movie’s viewing cost in most major cinemas nationwide), then they will settle for what they have seen online. Haha. Read the rest of this entry »

HP TouchSmart tx2: The first multi-touch laptop
Nov 19, 2008 Gadgets, Technology News
Another great innovative laptop is the new HP TouchSmart tx2 Laptop, which is said to be the first multi-touch laptop released by Hewlett Packard company.
HP TouchSmart tx2 adds a multi-touch screen function to the traditional convertible tablet computer. This means you can use a finger or two to draw on the screen, browse the web, click icons, and control media through HP’s homegrown MediaSmart application.
The TouchSmart tx2 is still a Vista laptop, similar to previous releases from HP. It is of AMD-based CPUs with 12.1-inch screen is powered by an ATI Radeon HD 3200 CPU, and hard drives which range from 160 to 500GB. Wi-Fi is integrated, but there’s no integrated WWAN feature available. With these great features, indeed HP TouchSmart tx2 is a smart laptop. And with great features, comes a huge but reasonable price of $1,150 but it is said to be on sale tomorrow, maybe at the HP shopping website.
*Sigh* With the minimal amount of earnings I get from my websites, I could only dream of these great laptops from HP such as this TouchSmart tx2 and the previously released Compaq CQ-50 139WM Laptop.

Sending a Paypal Payment to a Wrong E-mail Address
Nov 16, 2008 Internet, Making Money Online, Tips
“Oh, no! I have sent a Paypal payment to a wrong email address!” So what do you do if you have sent your Paypal payment to a wrong e-mail address? I had a similar problem but gladly, I fixed it immediately, thanks to the help of TNX support staff.
Last November 1, 2008, I mistyped my e-mail address on the recipient’s e-mail field for my TNX.net payment. The payout usually takes at most 5 days but this time it took longer than 7 days. I thought it was one of the busy days for TNX that could have resulted to the delay.
I tried another transaction and noticed that my e-mail address saved on the field lacked one letter. Worried as I was, I immediately sent a support ticket to the TNX staff and asked about what I should do about my problem. They promptly replied telling me that it could be fixed through creating an e-mail address similar to the mistyped one, then add it to my Paypal e-mail addresses thereafter. Fortunately, the e-mail address was still available so I was able to register it to my e-mail client, add it to my Paypal e-mail address, and finally, received the pending payment from TNX.
