I finally managed to get my grubby hands on a copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Yay!
I wasn’t really planning on installing the upgrade so soon since I wanted all the kinks (if there were any, really) to be fixed. But due to fortunate events, I was able to get a copy. So here I am on Mac OS X 10.6 a.k.a Snow Leopard!
One of the first things you’re going to notice, of course, is the space you’ll be freeing up when you install Snow Leopard. From a measly free space of 8GB, I ended up with 18GB free …read more

I decided to give my desktop a makeover yesterday after being stuck with the same wallpaper for the past 6 months. I’m in a stagnant rut lately and I was hoping that changing my wallpaper can brighten up my mood. And you know what, it actually did, haha!
So check out my new desktop wallpaper and setting! Cute huh? I think some people might actually say it’s a little too pink, but I like it. I just love the black and hot-pink combo. Plus the heart design makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. And of course, that little Apple logo …read more

I’m currently in my car right now, pretty much stuck in a side street 5 minutes away from my office. It’s been raining non stop here in the Philippines for the last 3 days or so. So imagine how flooded the streets are right now. And hence the reason why I’m in my car, parked along a side street, blogging. I’m waiting for the water to subside. I am no way in hell going to drive my car in flooded waters that are knee deep! The last time I did that, I think I ruined my aircon or condenser or …read more

I’ve been itching to upgrade to my Mac OSX to Snow Leopard ever since Apple released the upgrade a few days ago.
You can’t imagine how many times I’ve stopped myself. I was soooo ready to input my credit card details and just click “Check out”. Until I realized that the delivery fee was almost 1/4 of the price. Yaiks. I’d rather trek all the way to an Apple center if that’s the case.
Well, I guess as much as I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard, I’m pretty paranoid and very cautious when it comes to upgrading my MacBook Pro. I’ve …read more

If you’re from Asia, chances are, your internet connection is and will be extremely slow for the next couple of days.
Before you call up your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and start screaming profanities at them for having sucky service, here is a piece of news you guys need to know.
A segment of the Asia-Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2) undersea cable network between China and Taiwan suffered a serious cable fault on Wednesday, causing Internet traffic to be rerouted onto other undersea cables and slowing Internet access for some users in Southeast Asia. – PCWorld
According to the article, repairs will hopefully …read more

If you haven’t heard the latest, YouTube is going 3D!
By just adding a simple tag (”yt3d:enable=true”) when you upload your videos, you’ll be able to access an drop down menu with the 10 3D viewing styles.
I currently don’t have 3D glasses right now (so I really can’t say anything about the quality), but if you have, feel free  to view the video!
For now you can’t embed it on external websites yet, so you have to view the videos on the YouTube site directly.
The YouTube project is still undergoing it’s early stages and it’s going to be a while before it …read more

I’m seriously in shock with this news from Engadget.
Sky News in the UK dropped a brand new laptop off at several repair shops in London (equipped with a key logger and sneaky video recording software) they caught employees accessing personal data, hacking accounts for banking and social networking sites, and charging for unnecessary work. – Engadget
I’m not surprised with the ‘charging for unnecessary work’. Trust me, the last time I brought a laptop to a service center (an authorized Apple service center, no less), the laptop that I brought came back to me in the same condition when I brought …read more

Here’s another must-have every Gadgenista should have in their handbags: a Handbag Hanger (or sometimes called a Purse Hook)
I find it really annoying and bothersome that every time I go out for dinner or for drinks, I have no idea where to place my bag.
I usually put my bag behind me on the chair, but by the end of the night, my back would be hurting and my bag would be mushed into a blob-less shape.
Others would opt to place their bags on the floor but I personally find it gross. Imagine the dirt that would cling to your bag! …read more

Here’s a funny story:
A girl named Alexa Longueira was walking down the street one day. And while she was walking, she was also texting with friends. Unfortunately, since she didn’t see an open manhole on the floor and ended up  walking into it. *facepalm*
Fortunately for her, she’s still alive but she ended messing up her spine.
And the clincher? She’s suing the Department of Environmental Protection for leaving a manhole uncovered!
While some people think that being able to text while walking is a skill, I personally think it’s being careless. That goes the same for texting while driving as well.

I’m seriously baffled by this blog post shared by Rico over at The Gadget Blog.
According to a study commissioned by Dell last year, over 12,000 people misplace their laptops at US airport, per week. That adds up to approximately 624,000 incidents a year! – The Gadget Blog
Really. I’m in shock.
How can someone leave their laptops behind? I understand forgetting your mobile phone or your iPod, but a laptop?! It’s not exactly a tiny little thing. Maybe forgetting a netbook is slightly acceptable (take note: slightly!) but STILL!
A laptop is a laptop! How can you forget something that cost around thousands …read more
