Security Secrets and Strategies
The number and sophistication of phishing scams sent out to consumers is continuing to increase dramatically.

ALCATEL OT-E159
There used to be a time when bright, fun colors were the staple of an Alcatel phone. The small, liquid crystal displays (LCD) also made classic Alcatel phones rather distinct from its competitors.

Blog-O-Rama
Could it be that members of today's generation are blogging at an earlier age? After featuring the first Pinoy blogger last week, we now focus on another young pioneer in the person of Victor Villanueva who started blogging when he was only 12. Victor, more popularly known in the online world as Bikoy, is now 18 and is a sophomore at UP Diliman taking up Film & Audio-Visual Communication. Thankfully, he is still writing his thoughts away. His blog is a well-organized cornucopia of attractive images and interesting insights into his life as a State U student, traveller, budding man and artist.

BROADBAND
I’m sure that those of you who have managed to put up with my somewhat irregular column can figure out that I’m rabidly pro-technology. Of course, I really shouldn’t express my views more enthusiastically than I already do because I know my editor will throttle me for, well, being too enthusiastic. Anyway, let me state clearly that I truly believe that technology is more of a positive force than a negative one in our lives.
HARDCODE: Programmers
All programmers have their own methods of project implementation even if they are all working on the same project. One of them will surely get it done more quickly than the other, or maybe they can finish at the same time; but they can’t have the same source code for the program since they don’t think the same way.
Knowledge Box
Using JavaScript technology, an HTML page can asynchronously make calls to the server from which it was loaded and fetch XML documents. The XML documents may then be used by the JavaScript technology to update or modify the Document Object Model (DOM) of the HTML page. The term Asynchronous JavaScript Technology and XML (AJAX) has emerged recently to describe this interaction model.
