True to that radio commercial, I too am a walking wi-fi. Only that I can put any sim card into this device — the Huawei (E5) E583C. I always carry around 2-3 sims in my pocket just in case any one network has got weak signal anywhere I am.
If I’ll be accessing the internet via my cellphone only Continue Reading »
As I have commented at Yugatech’s post, this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I hope Globe will implement the same, if not a more attractive, plan soon. Otherwise, I may have to get that Gevey Sim to use Smart in my iPhone 4.
Check out the new tiered pricing from Smart:
This is what you can call ‘You Pay for What You Use’. Read more about the ‘Always On’ plans »
With all the hype about this 4G and 3G technologies, who cares anyway? You got a 4G capable phone but when you’re tied up into a low network connectivity cellphone carrier, you’ll get a crappy internet connection.
Check out the video below that explains very well what is this thing all about the 2G, 3G, and 4G. All that matters is the actual speed!
Wait, I just remember, majority of the people I know don’t use data connections on their phone. Oh crap!
What I really liked about Sun Cellular (Sun) is that it really offers competitive rates not just call and text (SMS) but also mobile internet.
Take a look at their prepaid mobile internet pricing scheme called SBW Loads below:
SBW Loads
Contrary to popular notion, Sun Broadband Wireless (SBW) loads are not just for the SBW dongle; they can be used by regular Sun Prepaid subscribers to surf on their phone.
SBW Load Price Inclusions Validity 1. SBW25 P25 3 hours 1 day 2. SBW50 P50 1 day unlimited 1 day 3. SBW100 P100 3 days unlimited 3 days 4. SBW300 P300 48 hours 10 days
Rates sourced from their website.
The big question, however, is if you are considering the options SBW100 and SBW300, it’s a no-brainer that you should go for SBW100, right? What could be the logic that you would pick otherwise?
Again, another example of corporate ignorance.

Even with the advent of Google Chrome, which provides sleeker and faster internet browsing experience, I was still using Mozilla Firefox as my main browser.
There are just important and useful addons in Firefox that I can’t find in Chrome. If there are counterpart functions or extensions, the same leave a lot of things to be desired. Worse, they even bring problems than solutions.
Now that Firefox 4.0 is here, Mozilla claims it is 6 times faster. I hope it really is, before I’ll start longing for Chrome’s marvelous speed.

This 60-second video produced by JESS3 showcases Mozilla’s latest browser launch, Firefox 4. The video highlights the new browser and its features, including a fresh user-interface, more customization and personalization features, and a faster browsing experience than ever before.

Other features I’m really looking forward to are Pin as App Tab and Group Tabs Panorama. Hope they really do deliver on their promised improvements. Continue reading Firefox 4.0 – Ready for Download
In the light of the new price scheme offering from Sky Broadband, the 5Mbps at P999, I tried testing my current speed with my subscription with Sky Broadband.
Their website has this utility to test your speed, and here’s my result:
It says I’m running at 1.47Mbps downstream and 0.47Mbps upstream. Check out the result of another test though »
It has been discussed in some forums, blogs and in the comments:
There are certainly features in WordPress that I don’t particularly use. And I believe a lot of users are not using them as well. Yet, these features are in the core, and we can’t even avoid them.
Now I’m joining to bandwagon of the haters of Internet Explorer. I’m starting to share the sentiments of those real web designers in their disgust over Microsoft’s web browser called the “Internet Explorer”.
Various problems with internet explorer (IE) occured before, but it reached it peak as I was designing my tumblog here at Deuts.NET. Not to mention the javascript that won’t show up in IE6.

This site is proudly powered by WordPress (WP).
With lots of updates going on into the core of wordpress install, particularly with the upcoming WordPress 2.5, a lot of features are being introduced. I’m afraid there will come a time that WordPress would not be as lightweight but functional as it used to be. WordPress users are asking for features left and right specific to their needs. The WordPress team, it appears to me, are moving towards satisfying all those requests by the various users in one package, that is WordPress.
Here I am agonizing over another crappy internet service from Smart 3G because Skycable‘s ZPDee sucks bigtime! At least with the former I have connection.
According to ZPDee’s contact page, you can contact them 24/7 using their hotline 631-0000. But try calling them at night, and you’ll get into an answering machine telling you to wait for the next available agent. I would rather have preferred to have been told to leave at once. For me, this is just bloody misrepresentation!
They also have an SMS contact number at 0917-631-0000 (i.e., if you’re using Globe), but don’t bother texting them, you’ll just put your credits into waste.
