Report: New Apple product will give your workouts that magic touch
Friday, March 28, 2008

After the Nike + iPod sport kit, Apple recently filled a patent to a device which the product appears to be an application that would require both a personal computer (reportedly both Mac and Windows) and one of Apple's iPod Touch and iPhone devices.

The desktop-based software would initially ask the user to fill out an extensive survey pertaining to health and lifestyle, as well as workout goals and preferences, and then determine a workout regimen that would then synchronize to the mobile handset for trips to the gym.

The four filings, each made on March 27, 2007, are credited to a number of Apple employees, including Glenn Gilley, Sarah Brody, and iPod chief Anthony Fadell.

Free Photoshop? Sa Adobe... Posible....
Thursday, March 27, 2008

Globe's tag line "Lahat posible" can be used in Adobe's new free version of photoshop, Adobe Systems opened up Photoshop Express this Thursday, its long-anticipated Web-based image editor aimed at the millions of consumers that want a simple way to touch up, share, and store photos.

Photoshop Express, available for free with 2 gigabytes of storage at www.photoshop.com/express, is a significant departure from Adobe's desktop software business and a big bet that it can make money offering Web services directly to consumers.

The application, which needs Flash Player 9 to run, pushes the limits of browser-based applications and will likely ratchet up the competition on the dozens of free and online photo-editing products available now.

Microsoft looks to cash in on the iPhone
Wednesday, March 26, 2008

Don’t think for a minute that Microsoft is ignoring the iPhone. In fact, the software giant is probing the gadget for profit opportunities.

For a little more than a week, a team of the company’s Silicon Valley software engineers has been examining the iPhone software development kit, a set of tools Apple released this month that let outsiders build software for the iPhone and the iPod touch. Microsoft executives aren’t sure yet whether they’ll find worthwhile opportunities to sell iPhone software – but they seem eager to find out...

Who knows, they might release an iPhone version of Office... *wink*

Transmeta founder to join Intel
Sunday, March 23, 2008

As they say, "if you cannot beat them, join them!"

Dave Ditzel, co-founder of chip company Transmeta, is joining Intel's Digital Enterprise Group to work with Steve Pawlowski, one of Intel's top architects.

I remember that Transmeta was way ahead of its time in pursuing a low-power microprocessor strategy, attempting to break into the notebook PC and blade server markets with its Crusoe chip. (I also remember Leo Laporte in TechTV pluggin the Crusoe processor.) The trouble was, Crusoe's low-power design came at the expense of performance, and manufacturing issues--combined with Intel's swift embrace of low-power tactics--killed Transmeta's chances of ever making a dent into Intel or AMD's market share.

hospitalscams.blogspot.com + Severe Case of Psychosis = entertainment!
Saturday, March 22, 2008

I was itching to blog about Tim Cumper but was busy for the past few weeks. For those of you who didn't know, Timothy Ellis Cumper created an imaginary grand scale scam. A scam he imagined being him the target.

I saw one of the Kuya Jep's post regarding Tim Cumper's stupid accusations regarding a scam involving a mere PHP100k, which converts to GBP1,219.00 (based from today’s exchange rate). Upon reading it, He reminded me of Wrency’s iodized salt deficiency days.

It’s kinda entertaining reading his replies to kuya jep, It really shows his stupidity or I should say his craziness! Accusing one of the famous actress in the Philippines, my goodness.... this guy really needs medical attention.

Since I'm a CCNA instructor, I'll be quoting one of his flawed assumptions.

SO - even if you believe all that tripe about IP addresses - let's look at the odds.

We are talking about the last two segments of the IP address only.

256 + 256 = 512/1

4 emails from this IP address.

2,048/4


So the odds are 2,048/4 against this happening at all - let alone on the same date.
Plus the fact that Noemi - the prolific and detailed blogger that she is - allows a mistake with the name of the dating site to get posted.
ie Dating Asia as opposed to DateInAsia (which she gets correct in her earlier preface to my letter.)
This remarkable coincidence also happened back in August - with an email - allegedly from one of Francis Jalbeuna's business associates.

COME ON - JUST WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO DECEIVE?

Saturday, March 08, 2008

Intel® Atom™ Processor Intel's smallest chip. Built with the world's smallest transistors

Powering the next generation of Internet-centric devices, Intel Atom processors will power the latest in pocketable, portable devices. Based on an entirely new microarchitecture, the Intel Atom processor was developed specifically for performance and low power while maintaining full Intel® Core™ microarchitecture instruction set compatibility. Some Intel Atom processors will also feature multiple threads for better performance and increased system responsiveness.
