There’s a buzz in town. And facebook may not like it. Yep, facebook could have some competition in the social media arena. Being one of the top social media hit, facebook, has been the favorite. Here in the Philippines, so far, it’s quite popular. Everyone I know and everyone that I meet has one.

Facebook has been the favorite social platform of many. It connects people from different parts of the world. Heck, I found my elementary classmates in facebook. I even found someone back then whom I always have a crush on

With all the fuzz and massive battle around the tablet arena, from HP, Dell and to other major tech companies, all got into the tablet wagon.

Now, another has joined the party – Texas Instruments (TI).

Yep, TI will be going to release a tablet named Blaze. Now, with that name we expect it to be fast and packed with cool and amazing features. And looking at the below list of features made my jaw dropped and burned my geek and techie desire inside me.

I want one!

I was first introduced to the free encryption tool, TrueCrypt, when I searched for a tool to encrypt my USB flash drive that contains some “sensitive” stuff that I don’t want someone else eyes to pry on. The cool thing about truecrypt is that, it is so secured. The encryption quality it gives is so amazing.

In fact, the encryption is so amazing that even FBI – yep, FBI of the United States – can’t break the encryption even they took years to do so.

I have been looking for a password manager that I can use that is very secure and easy to use. I tried KeePass but every time I use it, I need to go to the UI and get the password then go to the browser and paste it in. Hassle isn’t it?

Well, for some time I am using the lastpass extension from lastpass.com and for quite some time, I am loving it. The first thing I wanted to know is how secure is it? How safe my passwords to them? Well, I did some checking and a bit of research, as well as reading some user reviews and some forum discussions. Then I came to a decision to go and try it.

After visiting Mozilla’s website, it looks they have released the beta version of their 4th version of Firefox. I quickly downloaded it and viola!

The new version of the well know browser, for its high quality both in security and customization, looks cool and even more snappier from previous versions. Below are some of my first impression on the new version.

The famous app (for jailbroken iPhones) where you can get free apps, Installous, had a major update. The new interface will make you feel like you’re in the Apple’s App Store. The UI now looks good as well as the ease of use.

I stumbled across one of Rico’s article in his blog about the growing concern regarding todays world – having a virtual life that affects the real life. I must admit, when I was young I’m one of those who spent so much time and money just to play and level up my virtual characters. I used to spend numerous time playing Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Legend of Legaia, and so many more.

I still can remember how I am always being scolded by my Dad because, all day, all I do is sit in front of the TV and play games. Lots and lots of games. Where I even miss to eat and do some of my chores. Where I always look forward to go home when I am in school because I wanted to reach level 99 and get my weapons upgraded to be able to give 9999 damage.
