Google Unveils its "Superphone" Nexus One

By Admin
Search engine and online advertising giant, Google Inc, finally unveiled its highly anticipated smart phone, the Nexus One.

Operating in Google's open source software platform, Android, Nexus One is often tagged as a Droid Plus because of its similarity to the Motorola Droid that was released last year. Unlike Motorola Droid though, Nexus One does not have hard buttons but simply relies on touch screen keyboard like its rival, iPhone.



"Nexus One vs iPhone"

With the release of the Nexus One, the already heated competition between the industry giants, Apple and Google is expected to take another step higher. After its release in 2007, iPhone already sold 30 million units around the world. This gave Apple a solid ground on mobile industry. As more and more people surf the web trough high powered mobile phones, Google had to make a move to maintain its lead in online advertising. This is what most analysts see from Google's move to enter the mobile market. It is also seems consistent with their recent of acquisition of AdMob, a mobile advertising company.

Google's Android OS has been there for quite some time but the full capability of the software has not been harnessed due to hardware limitations of previous mobile devices. Now, with Nexus One operating at 1 GHz of processor, the full power of Android can now be unleashed.

Unlike previous smart phones, Nexus One is not tied to one service provider. It was currently available without service and with T-Mobile contracts. By spring this year, units tied with Verizon and Europe’s Vodaphone will also be available. Nexus One debuted at 529 USD for unlocked units and 180 USD for units with T-mobile contract.

SCAM: My First Scam Text This Year; 850000 Pesos from GMA Kapuso Foundation

By Admin
It's a brand new year for everyone, including local scammers. And despite all the efforts by PLDT and Globe Telecom to curb text message scammers, from time to time, they still creep out and show up in our inboxes. And as hard to believe as the messages of winning some great amounts of money is the fact that there are still people who believe them. I personally know someone and that scam text message triggered events that turn her life upside down. So my point is, we still need to be careful regarding these scam messages. The danger is real! So without further ado, here's the scam message I received a few days ago. On Sunday, January 7, 2018 at exactly 3:33PM (PH time), I received this message from a certain Atty.

By Admin
My passbook (inside my bag) was recently stolen inside a local grocery store, and I would like to share the steps I took to secure my account and get a new passbook.      By User:Aerous ", CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link The steps outlined here are for a BPI savings account, but generally, the procedure will be very similar to other banks in the Philippines. 1.

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

By Admin
My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast," wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information, this technique of adding contrast is known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a  Prostate MRI,  and I assume it was without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i.e
