Anyone of us is a download junkie, I admit, my iphone has tons of free applications, my PC is always on downloading mode, my n95 only has few apps because I need to buy application from telco's wap site... Imagine, what if telco give away phone applications for free, sound impossible right? but Globe breaks that common stigma that we need to buy application from time to time just to get our phone full potential, they offer free applications for our mobile phone which hmmm.... is very nice actually..... I've tested some of its free application last night from their blogger event, I admit I enjoyed almost all of the free applications... :) you may try it also for free at http://www.globe.com.ph/downloads and go to free apps.
Globe Bridges Geographical Boundaries and Unites the Filipino Youth with Project Headshot Clinic
Globe brings Project Headshot Clinic to cities outside Manila to campaign for an online and youth-led change advocacy
In line with Globe’s belief that the Internet is a powerful and effective medium to promote the Filipino youth’s proactive involvement in campaigning for change, Globe bridges distances to empower the youth from all over the country as the company’s online marketing team takes One Youth - Project Headshot Clinic to the provinces.
The highly successful campaign is a series of photo shoots that produce glammed-up pictures for use in social networking sites. When Project Headshot Clinic started, it catered to the high-end clientele who wanted profile headshots taken by renowned fashion photographer Niccolo Cosme for use in social networking sites such as Friendster, Facebook and Multiply.
This changed when Cosme realized that through one profile background, different people in various social spheres can convey one message. He realized that the youth can make a statement through their pictures, profiles, and avatars in various online social media. Project Headshot Clinic became the perfect venue for the youth to express their national pride, creativity, and individuality – an advocacy it shares with Globe Telecom.
With Globe’s One Youth - Project Headshot Clinic, the youth can have their photos taken by one of the country’s best fashion photographers. They can post it on their websites as profile pictures, and with this, they can communicate the change that they stand for so that every time their friends see them on Friendster, Facebook, Blogspot or other sites, they are reminded of their desire for change.
A thousand individuals have already joined this cause in Metro Manila alone. Eight Headshot Clinics were done in Makati, Taguig, and Quezon City, with the biggest Headshot Clinic done in the country’s number one dance club, Embassy.
The Headshot Clinics in Manila were done in partnership with one call center, VXI Global Solutions, student organizations like the University of the Philippines Junior Marketing Association (UP JMA), De La Salle University Junior Entrepreneurs Marketing Association (DLSU JEMA) and the Ateneo de Manila University Sanggunian, and Embassy Club.
These Headshot Clinics were attended by students from different colleges and universities such as UP, DLSU, ADMU, DLS-College of Saint Benilde, University of Santo Tomas (UST), Far Eastern University (FEU), Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), Miriam College, Assumption College, and others.
This time, Globe focuses the spotlight on the youth from Cebu, Baguio and Davao. Globe gives the youth from the provinces a chance to broadcast their statements, to be seen by the entire country, even the entire world through their personal websites. Through Headshot Clinic, the youth from the provinces will be given their chance to shine and inspire other people.
Globe’s One Youth - Project Headshot Clinic will be held on June 27 in Davao, July 4 in Cebu, July 11 in Baguio and back to Manila on July 18. Shoots will also be held in Cebu and in Manila in July with final dates to be updated on the One Youth website.
Globe wants to encourage the Filipino youth to be proactive in campaigning for change, no matter where they are in the Philippines, in the most effective, efficient and extensive way. Through One Youth - Project Headshot Clinic, the Filipino youth can send the message of unity and call for change, one headshot at a time.

Just got a new info from kuya jep, Globe Telecom has finally launched their much awaited WiMAX (Worldwide Inter-operability for Microwave Access) service in the Philippines. Initially available in selected areas in South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, Globe's WiMAX network is considered the first and biggest 2.5Ghz WiMAX 802.16e broadband network in South East Asia.
For only P795 per month, subscribers can get speeds of upto 512kbps.
For those people not aware of what is WiMAX, here WiMAX, meaning Worldwide Inter-operability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access. The technology provides up to 72 Mbit/s symmetric broadband speed without the need for cables. The technology is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard (also called Broadband Wireless Access). The name "WiMAX" was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL"
Globe's 512kbps is pretty slow compared to current 2Mbps 3G/HSDPA speeds and the actual 72Mbps speed that a WiMAX network can provide. But still, if you're located on areas wherein your only choice is a sucky Smart Bro, then Globe Broadband's WiMAX network may come in as a welcome alternative.
Globe Broadband's WiMAX Application Details:
Monthly Service Fee (MSF): Php795.00 (Vat Inclusive) Download Speed: up to 512kbps Installation Fee: Waived Internet Usage: Unlimited Lock-in Period: 1year (12months) Termination Fee: Php2,500 Equipment: Modem with External Antenna Remarks: One-month money back guarantee Requirements: a. Signed Application Form b. Photocopy of Valid ID c. Proof of Financial or 1month advance payment (P795) d. Proof of billing address

Microsoft is to offer six versions of its next operating system. The different options for Windows 7, released in beta last month, will be for the benefit of both PC makers and end users, according to a Microoft executive.
Microsoft said today that it will aim Windows 7 Home Premium at the majority of consumers and Windows 7 Professional at businesses. That harks back to Windows XP , which had two main versions: Home and Professional.
However, Microsoft will maintain all of the four other versions it offered with Vista, a move that caused much confusion. These options will include the controversial Home Basic, the Starter Edition that was until now restricted to developing countries, Enterprise and Ultimate.
In contrast, Apple releases a single version of Mac OS X with every new release. It does have far fewer users than Windows, with some estimates claiming between 30 million to 50 million users worldwide today.
