Turn your Phone to a WiFi HotSpot

Posted: 29 Dec 2009 06:29 AM PST  The app basically turns your phone into a WiFi hotspot running on 3G internet.

All you need to do is install JoikuSpot on your phone, run the app and select which internet connection to use (i.e. 3G). That’s it — it will then use the built-in WiFi of your phone to turn itself as an access point.  Continue reading here   http://www.yugatech.com/blog/freewares/turn-your-phone-to-a-wifi-hotspot/

The phone tends to become hot since it’s running 3G and WiFi at the same time.  WiFi is a must but 3G can be substituted by GPRS or just EDGE.

The Top Ten Freeware Products of 2009: Users choice from Gizmo blog

Thursday, December 24, 2009


Users Choice: Freeware Product of 2009  (25% of total vote)
Other browsers may be faster and sexier but Firefox with its huge range of add-ons remains the most capable browser for everyday use. Used by more of our site visitors than any other browser.
2.  Avira Antivir Free  (12%)
Antivir provides an extraordinary level of anti-malware protection for your PC at zero cost. There have been signature file update problems for the free version in recent months but these now seem to have been resolved
3.  Google Chrome browser  (10%)
Fast, safe and the shape of things to come. The most recent version now accommodates extensions.
4.  Microsoft Security Essentials  (9%)
A much better anti-malware scanner from Microsoft than anyone thought possible and low on resource usage as well. A great solution for low risk users.
5.   Comodo Firewall  (8%)
Extraordinary protection for those sufficiently technically competent to use it.
6.  Avast! Antimalware  (5%)
The most complete free anti-malware program available. It's a bit heavier on resources than Avira but the detection rates are superb.
7.  Picassa 3  (5%)
The ideal way to store, manage  and edit your online photos. The user interface is a gem.
8.  Everything Search  (5%)
Find any file on your hard drive in an instant without bogging down your PC in background indexing. Only finds files by name not content.
9.  Opera 10  (5%)
Opera's devoted fans will tell you it's the fastest, safest and most complete browser available. They are probably correct but somehow Opera has never got the traction it deserves.
10.  VLC Media Player (5%)
A multi-platform media player that runs mostly without the need for external codecs. It's the player of choice for many experienced users though a little daunting for beginners.

Google Android phone: 40 Tips and Tricks


From PC Wrold :  Android, is the antithesis of Apple's celebrated handset: It's open source, fully customizable, and free from unexplained app rejections. If the iPhone is Apple's inalterable masterpiece, the Android platform is Google's open canvas. The palette is in your hands; it's up to you to add color.

We've assembled 40 tips and tricks to help you make the most of your Android phone. Some are specific to Android 2.0 or later, but most apply to any Android-based device. And not one of these tricks requires you to jailbreak anything.

What's Cheaper: Replacement Ink, or a New Printer?

Saturday, December 19, 2009


From PCWorld:  It may sound crazy, but buying the replacement ink you need can cost you almost as much -- if not more -- than a whole new printer. 

The Digg user's conclusion: It is cheaper to buy a new inexpensive printer for the free ink cartridges included in box instead of buying brand name replacement cartridges that can be very expensive.  Continue reading here

The World's First $99 Laptop Debuts

Thursday, December 17, 2009



PC World  Dec 16, 2009 We've been hearing about the "$100 laptop"--a no-frills, low-power portable that meets the educational needs of children in developing nations--for a few years now. But no product has materialized--at least not at the $100 price point--until now. Cherrypal has launched a $99 portable, the Cherrypal Africa, a "mini-netbook" built to bring Internet access to the world's poor.

Time to buy a computer? Tips for making the right choice


Time to buy a computer? Tips for making the right choice

From USA Today:  Here are other mainstream factors every PC buyer should consider:

•Windows or Macintosh.
•Chips off the old block. The brain of your computer is the processor.
•Storage. Think big
•Memory. You can never have enough memory,
•Netbook vs. laptop.There are many trade-offs: cramped keyboards, modest screen sizes, limited storage and wimpy processors.
•More to think about. Make sure your PC has ample USB ports for connecting peripherals. Some machines no longer include FireWire, a port for hooking up older camcorders. If that's important to you, make sure it's there. HDMI is a viable option for folks who want to hook their computers to an HDTV. An eSATA connection is an alternative way to hook up some external drives.

HTC Hero vs. iPhone 3GS

Published by: yuga posted: December 11th, 2009 A lot of people have been asking how the HTC Hero compares with the Apple iPhone 3GS. We shot both smartphones for a side by side comparison.

We’re pitting an iPhone 3GS 16GB with an HTC Hero and a 16GB microSD card. I borrowed the 3GS from @tjmanotoc for the photo comparison here (forgive the worn out Invisible Shield on the 3GS).

Now that we got that out of the way, the price of a prepaid 16GB iPhone 3GS is Php38,850 with Globe and the HTC Hero with 16GB microSD card is Php37,799 (Php33,999 + Php3,800).  Continue reading here with many comments http://www.yugatech.com/blog/mobile/htc-hero-vs-iphone-3gs/
 
Comments:  you missed the big screen of the iPhone, the thinner form factor, bigger internal storage.  let’s not forget that the iphone lets you install applications until your entire capacity is used up. the hero, i believe will only allow you to install apps in its phone memory. this sorta limits you. 
 
I find Hero´s strong personality goes to business users since it was designed for it. With the collaboration of contacts, twitter and facebook, etc. You can easily see it in each contacts/users.

Iphone is simple in many ways but snappy in performance.
Android market and application are still limited while iphone has numerous softwares found in appstore. 

these two phones despite costing close to Php40,000 with all their features and you still can’t even make a video call.. tsk tsk..

i’d rather wait next year, i hear a lot of new more cooler phones are coming out, like ericsson’s xperia x10. more android phones and more nokia phones with capacitive screen with an updated UI.

best bang for the buck for me this year is still the nokia’s 5800 (with the updated firmware), it only cost Php13,000 and you get most of the features of these high-end phone including push email(albeit, it has a resistive screen, stylus and lacks kinetic scrolling),not too mention you can also do FREE video web calls, super sulit =)

I make the video calls direct from cellphone using fring app and my family members back in phils video call me from PC using skype and all of these calls are free unlimited because “all-you-can eat” internet data plan. So, i am optimizing the data plan where ever i go i use video call whether i’m in office or at home.

Sulit classified ads has a HTC Hero for P32,000 http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/1738094/brand+new+htc+hero?referralKeywords=HTC+Hero

And ebay philippines has BRAND NEW UNLOCKED HTC HERO WHITE MOBILE PHONE UK for P26,289.69

Apple iPhone 3GS NEW SEALED FACTORY UNLOCKED 16GB White  P38,993.43 but foreign supplier outside country so much more expensive than HTC Hero

The Age of the Internet Tablet Is Nigh

December 10th, 2009 from Mashable web:    Much like the eReader space has been heating up (with a host of new entrants like the Nook and Que taking on Amazon’s Kindle and Sony’s Reader), the tablet device form factor race has seriously begun. Rumors have been flying about both an Apple Tablet and the Microsoft Courier, and now two new companies may have plans to bust out a tablet device: Dell and Asus.

Dell’s forthcoming tablet is still officially in the rumor stages, according to Pocket Lint. It will reportedly run AndroidAndroid and have a 5-inch screen, making it more akin to something like the Archos 5 Internet Tablet than either the Apple Tablet or the Courier, both reportedly featuring bigger screen real estate. Asus, too, who kicked off the wildly popular netbook craze with its line of Eee PCs, reportedly has plans to release an Eee Pad tablet device.

D-I-Y: Using Google DNS

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Put your nternet protocol setting at “Obtain DNS server address automatically“.

From the juntariman blog:  The DNS (Domain Name System) is used to identify you computer when connected to the net. It’s like a phone book in the internet where host names are translated to IP addresses.

Last week Google launches it public DNS and it proves fast and efficient as i tried it to my PLDT DSL connection. Google’s public DNS addresses are easy to remember: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as preferred and alternate respectively.

Follow the step-by-step procedure below to set your IP/TCP setting at this blog http://juntariman.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/d-i-y-using-google-dns-2/

Create an Ad-Hoc Network Sharing Point from a Windows 7 Netbook

via PC World:   Windows 7 Starter Edition, the version loaded onto netbooks, isn't supposed to offer "advanced" features like ad-hoc network sharing. In this one case, however, finding this feature is as simple as typing the right phrase into the Start Menu search.

Rafael Rivera's Within Windows blog points out that while the dialog that normally starts the ad-hoc networking process in Windows 7 is disabled in Starter Edition, simply searching for adhoc allows you to start it up. That means being able to connect other computers, smartphones, and Wi-Fi-enabled devices to your netbook when it's got a net connection. It's not quite as convenient as Virtual Wireless Networking, which you can enable with Connectify, but it does get the job done.

Windows 7 Starter hides but allows ad-hoc networking Continue reading here http://lifehacker.com/5420583/create-an-ad+hoc-network-sharing-point-from-a-windows-7-netbook

Bolster Your Holiday Playlist with 40+ Free MP3s

FOR USA and Canada customers only unless you use a VPN
Looking to get into the holiday spirit but find your holiday playlist a bit skimpy? Lifehacker alum and CNET editor Rick Broida rounds up dozens of free holiday MP3s from Amazon and others, featuring the likes of Lady Gaga and Tori Amos.
(Click the image above for a closer look.)


The easiest place to get started is this page of 29 free holiday songs on Amazon. On the other hand, if you want to get in the spirit with story rather than song, web site Learn Out Loud is hosting a free download of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol. Over at CNET, Broida suggests a couple of other solid sources, so be sure to check out his post for a few more gems.

If you want to enjoy some good holiday music but don't want to clutter up your digital music app's shuffle with holiday songs the rest of the year, you can also do plenty of free listening online at places like Last.fm, Pandora, or (my own) MixTape.me (playlist embedded below; read more about it here).

USA DC businessman loses thousands after clicking on wrong e-mail

From the Washingtonpost blog :  Pay-per-click revenue in the online advertising business may be diminishing for traditional media publishers, but thieves increasingly are earning five- to seven-digit returns when victims click on a booby-trapped link or attachment sent via e-mail.

The latest victim to learn this was Nigel Parkinson, president of D.C.-based Parkinson Construction, a firm with an estimated $20 million in annual revenue that has worked on some of Washington's top gathering places, including the new D.C. Convention Center and the Nationals baseball stadium.

Parkinson said he had an expensive crash course in computer security, when on Nov. 24, he clicked a link in an e-mail purporting to be from the Social Security Administration warning him about potential errors on his Social Security statement. Parkinson fell for the ruse and ended up downloading a copy of the Zeus Trojan, a prolific family of malicious software that criminal gangs have used to great effect to steal tens of millions of dollars from victimized businesses so far this year.

Zeus is primarily a password-stealing Trojan, and in short order the thieves had stolen the credentials Parkinson uses to administer his construction firm's bank account online. From there, the hackers sent $92,000 of Parkinson's cash to nine different money mules, accomplices hired through work-at-home job schemes who are instructed to withdraw the money and wire it overseas (typically minus an eight percent commission)  Continue reading here
