Watching IT:
Count on evildoers to never run out of ideas on how to take advantage of others for a fast buck. Sad to say, this also happens to be quite true online. Brewing computer viruses and other malware, robbing other people’s identities, posing as love-struck teenagers to advance their sexual predatory urges, you name it, it’s there online.

Reality Bites: ALL FOR ONE - ONE FOR ALL

SINAG: The tech specs
SINAG, the Philippine’s first solar-powered car to participate in the World Solar Challenge, radiates with homegrown Filipino talent in every aspect of its design. The 150kg car’s unassuming, wing-like profile belies the cutting-edge technologies tucked away inside.

This is the side of staunch Wikipedians who feel that a Philippine version is just a duplication of content. We sought out award-winning Wikipedia contributor Eugene Villar to explain his take on the issue. He is a twenty-something hardware engineer who also authors his personal blog vaes9.codedgraphic.com, the travel blog vistapinas.com which features Filipino sights as seen from the satellite view of Google Maps and Lakbayan (at http://forge.codedgraphic.com/lakbayan), a Pinoy travel quiz web application.
