How much is the iPad ?
Posted by Bendz in Tech Stuff on January 28, 2010
How much is the iPad ? A lot of people are wondering about the iPad price or the iPad cost but before we go through that part let me tell you something about the iPad tablet first. Yes, the iPad is a tablet computer nothing really revolutionary had it been a PC but wait, this is Apple and like the other Apple products, the Apple iPad is magical!
The iPad is basically a bigger version of the iPhone and the iPod Touch and most of the apps you see in the Apple App store will run on the iPad. There are two versions of the iPad though based on how it connects to the Internet, the cheaper one can only connect through Wi-fi and the much pricier one can connect with both wi-fi and 3G an essential us here in the Philippines.
How much is the iPad?
Ok, enough with the foreplay and lets proceed with what you came here for. So how much is the iPad ? According to the Apple website, the iPad cost as follows: for Wi-Fi capable iPad, the 16 GB model costs $499, the 32 GB costs $599 and the 64 GB costs $699; the Wi-Fi and 3G capable ones costs $629 for the 16 GB, $729 for the 32 GB and $829 for the 64 GB model.
We don’t have any info yet on how much the iPad in the Philippines will be but I recommend that you get the one with 3G capability but don’t get the one with a plan. Like the iPhone, the iPad 3G in the Philippines will definitely come with a lock-out plan with Globe so stay away from this if you don’t have much moolah to spend.
I asked a friend working in Apple Philippines how much is the iPad but he said they still don’t know yet but assured me that I just have to multiply the US price with the current exchange rate like what they do with other Apple Gadgets. You can also check out the Apple Philippines store online but as of this moment, they are not offering the iPad yet.
I’m very thankful I didn’t get the Amazon Kindle International edition with this new development. I’m definitely getting myself an iPad even if it costs me an arm and a leg.

Computer Virus
When the search trend for Internet Security 2010 virus removal reaches Google’s Hot Trends, it only means that thousands of computers are infected and a lot of users are calling their Internet support hotline for help. This is precisely the reason why their is currently more than 50 calls waiting on one of America’s biggest cable company. Had I still been with the call center catering to the needs of this Internet provider, I would now be stressed out from taking more than 30 calls of customers asking how to remove Internet Security 2010 from their infected computers which is something ISP supports don’t know about so we refer them to the PC help desk which asks for either a warranty code before they could start assisting or worse, a credit card number if your machine is not supported anymore. Yeah, this is one of those times when you get dissatisfied surveys for reasons beyond your control.
The Internet Security 2010 virus, or IS 2010 virus, tricks people into thinking that it is a legitimate anti-virus or security software but after downloading and installing the file, they’ll eventually get this pesky screen asking them to buy the product to remove viruses that does not actually exist on the system.
A lot of users reported that most known security softwares like NOD 32, CA, Avast, McAffee and Norton cannot clean this virus up thus they are imploring the aid of the almighty Google to give them the best way to remove the Internet Security 2010 virus for good. Unluckily Google’s search results is already bombarded by fake site that would just say that Internet Security 2010 virus removal is near impossible but actually it’s just clicks away if you’re lucky enough to still have a working Internet access but if you don’t it’s time to call your security software’s tech support or, you can call Microsoft’s free virus removal hotline at 1-866-PCSAFETY. This call is free to people living in the US and Canada and those who know how to use Skype. For those who want to take matters in their own hands then follow the instructions bellow.

Best Blackberry and Apple Cases
Posted by Bendz in Tech Stuff on January 17, 2010
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Pexagon Technology. All opinions are 100% mine.
It has been said countless of time that our modern gadgets are extensions of our personality. The fact that we keep on updating our repertoire of songs as well as editing the themes, downloading tones and adding new apps, supports the claim
Some people go to the extent of changing the gadgets color from the default black or white to their favorite hues. This reminds me of the time when Nokia 3310 still had mass appeal and I got different types of cases to make my phone look better than others. In this age of Apples and Blackberries, the default black-brick look may have been something that users had to live with until clever innovators created personalized Apple & BlackBerry cases.
With just five dollars, you can now get your own personalized cases that you can put your own logo or name on like the picture on top. Yep it’s just five dollars and they even shoulder the shipping for your.
Pexagon’s personalized cases is comapatible to the iPhone and the iPod Touch as well as most Blackberry models to include BlackBerry® Curve™ 8300, BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000, BlackBerry® Tour™ 9630. For the Apple, you can choose either a plastic or a silicone case and for the BlackBerry, only the plastic type is available. It is a wrap-on design so you don’t need remove it to take pictures or tinker at the touch screen menu.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter Communication. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have been accommodating Charter’s request for a review since 2008 and so far, it has been all positive. How could it not be when their promos give consumers that bang off the buck that they are looking for and I have tried and tested Charter’s services as well.
Over the last two years, Charter outmaneuvered the competition by its creative promos with awesome prizes to include an HDTV, Toyota Prius, 2010 Chevy Camaro 2SS, Xbox 360s and much more. Today, you can get a chance to win twice!
Charter’s Daily Deal Web Site gives you the best deals catered to your needs with regards to cable, Internet and phone service. You win the second time once you get the Free Gift Card with special online deals and with other cool prizes. You can use the card to shop in major retailers in electronics, clothing, home, accessories, and restaurants.
Each day, the free prize is different so it’s best to become a fan of Charter on Facebook as they post information related to their promos and events on the site. They’ve got some Showtime schwags to give away like Tudors, Dexter and even Californication. If you love HBO, you can also get a chance to win the most coveted Entourage box-sets!
Dude, if you’re not yet on Charter, then it’s time for you to switch!
Create Animations with Ease

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Moviestorm. All opinions are 100% mine.
To hobbyists as well as playwrights short of funds to hire actors to portray their works and pay for the props and location, to create animations is a cheaper if not better alternative.
To create animations in the past, you would need to have technical know-how on vector graphics or 3D graphics manipulation, a lot of time creating characters from scratch and of course, a highly powerful computer. Right now, you can just create animations with ease and simplicity and using only a regular desktop computer. You have to spend some time perfecting your scenes though but it’s definitely shorter than doing it manually.
Moviestorm is one of the available free software that you can download from the net to create animations easily. It already comes with various theme packs, scenes and even pre-animated characters that you can customize to fit the kind of story you want to portray. All you need to do afterwards is to dub the voices and add in the music.
Should you wish to add more costumes, characters and even scenes for your movie, you would have to shed out some dough for it but they also offer Moviestorm subscriptions so you can get discounts on your purchases. You can also download mods and animations created by community.
To be honest I was not really convinced that to create animations using Moviestorm is gonna be at par with animations created using high-end professional softwares but I seen some animations created by users to include a series called Ghost with exciting storyline and a blievable set of animation. Well it might not really be something close to a Pixar film but if you have a very good story, your viewers would love your work more. The animations you created are just medium for experession anyway.
You can also check out the Moviestorm widgets from thier website as well as know more about their animation software.
