THE JABRA BT500 BLUETOOTH WIRELESS HEADSET
The first worry that came into the mind of this writer is how to review a Bluetooth Wireless Headset or BTWH for short. It always depends on the person's tastes and style because as we all know, one person's style can be another person's fashion faux pas.
Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman™ Phone
It was just inevitable. When electronics giant Sony Corporation and Telecommunications magnate Ericsson teamed up, it was no surprise that they would eventually come up with a line of mobile phones that would evidently demonstrate innovation in their experiences as individual companies. Ingeniously enough, Sony Ericsson is now reintroducing Sony’s Walkman™ brand by integrating it onto their mobile phones in a revolutionary new product line called the Sony Ericsson Walkman™ Phone.

It was a year ago when MB's pioneering Technews section welcomed the idea of starting the first-ever newspaper column devoted to bloggers and their blogs. And so, we celebrate this milestone by revisiting the first Pinoy blogger whom we interviewed a year ago on the subject of "Retracing the Philippines' Blog History." Lauren Dado was only ten years old when she started her online journal which is still alive up to now via the Worldkids.net project. Now nineteen going on twenty and a sociology major at Ateneo de Manila, she continues to blog while downscaling those facets of her life she reveals online.

REALITY BITES
For the record, I have been saying all along that any device that can be connected to the Internet are bound to be infected by malwares or are subject to intrusions.

LU! BEAT
Oh, the joys of playing ROSE Online! It wasn’t long ago when I first got my hands on Philippine ROSE Online (pROSE), a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) introduced here last year.

(Mad props go to Ragnarok Online for bringing MMORPG to the center stage!)

A couple of months back our IT administrator told me he had a new software I could use to update our website. He excitedly told me that it was a WYSIWYG and that I could do lots of things with our website like create polls and other stuff.

When the appointed day and time came, the programmer rang me up to remind me of my lessons. I thought the lesson was going to be held at their office but I was pleasantly surprised to have been told that the lesson will be held in the comfort of my office.
