Google Hangouts for iOS Now Available for Download at the App Store

After the long wait, Google's powerful chat application, Google Hangouts is now available for iOS devices. You can download it at the App Store for free.




For those few that are not familiar with Hangouts, it is a messaging application that allows users to send chat messages as well as video chats with their contacts. It was introduced in June 2011 as part of Google+ social platform. What's unique about Hangouts is the ability to video conference with up to 10 people, each at different locations.

Before Hangouts, Google have different messaging applications. One is built within Gmail, the two others were built-in apps in Android - Google+ messenger and Gtalk. They also distribute Gtalk for Windows as a Freeware. Now, except for Gtalk for Windows, all other apps were merged into one, Hangouts.

Its availability to iOS devices is the latest update on Hangouts. With that move, the current users will be able to expand their range of contacts to include iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users.

Hangouts is expected to compete against Apples default video chat app, Facetime.

4 Steps to Replace Stolen or Lost Passbook

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.

In other words, y ou will be required to pay the rest of your loan (including the interest) when you change employer or employment statu

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

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.

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
