Marky Cielo, SS3 Ultimate Sole Survivor

Marky Cielo as SS3’s Ultimate Sole Survivor remains to be my wish at the moment. Sana Magkatotoo.

Got this pic from the High Priestess of Junjunism. I’ll post the wallpaper-worthy version later on.

Gadgets: Microsoft Origami and Sony Ericsson Blogger Phone

As rumors unfurl about a new gadget upcoming from Microsoft, the company’s Origami Project [^] is starting to take shape as a very small tablet computer, one perhaps affordable enough to appeal to mainstream consumers.

The concept, which Microsoft plans to detail next month, is built on top of the Windows XP operating system but aims to be a new kind of device, rather than a replacement for existing PCs, according to sources familiar with the effort. With a screen bigger than that of a handheld but smaller than a notebook PC screen, Origami devices won’t fit in the pocket, but they’ll make it into purses and even the smallest of backpacks, sources said.

Microsoft’s goal is to create a blueprint for devices that could sell for $600 or less, although the actual prices will depend greatly on what manufacturers decide to include. Origami is capable of supporting features like GPS, Bluetooth, 3G cellular technology and Wi-Fi, though each of these adds to the cost of the device.

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications announced several new phones on Tuesday, including two that carry Sony’s Cyber-shot brand and come with 3.2-megapixel cameras that are integrated with Google’s Blogger application.

Users of the new K800 and K790 phones who don’t already have a blog can set one up over the phone. They’ll be able to take photos with the camera and then easily add them to their blogs, according to Sony Ericsson.

Pinakamalaking audience ng StarStruck 3 Survivor 6 daw ang sa Baguio. I never thought this would ever happen. Buti na lang napasama siya sa Final 4. I’m so happy for him.

Good luck, Boknoy!

Satellite Radio: Sirius vs. XM

The shares are down, but satellite radio won’t die yet, thanks to Howard Stern. This could be the reason why Google is thinking of marrying radio ads with adwords.

There are no federal decency standards to constrain you, that’s a plus. However,

The bigger problem, is that the potential of satellite radio to justify even current valuations remains very much unproven. The mass appeal of satellite radio is not yet a given.

Even if the two managed to run a cosy duopoly, moreover, they will also have rival technologies to contend with. At the very least, services such wireless broadband internet, multicasting by traditional radio stations and iPods may limit their potential to hold on to the sorts of margins envisioned in a few years time.

PLDT WeROAM

Nationwide e-mail access, but Wi-Fi connection is available in 250 hotspots only. With the minimum monthly subscription of P2,850, I’d rather you use your mobile connection for access during the times there is no plug-it-in internet nearby.

DREAM Satellite TV Philippines

The official site hasn’t been updated for ages, so I’ll put the latest here. You may want to try the basic package which offers 26 TV channels (including all Philippine free Tv channels plus CNN, Fox, BBC and Bloomberg) and 10 audio channels. The monthly fee is set at P175. I’m not sure how much the dish and receiver cost. The last time I checked, its at least P7,600 if you plan to get a subcription plan of your choice, or P3,990 if you subscribe for Dream750 for 12 months.

Bob Soler is the first actor to portray the role of Captain Barbell and Tengteng in the 1965 movie version of Captain Barbell.
Dolphy reprised the role with his alter ego named Ting-ting because he was so thin.
