Are you paid enough as an IT manager or systems developer in the Philippines?
The 2008 salary survey of IT workers in the Philippines will tell you.
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Service Center — bad, bad, bad!
Rant mode alert!
Over a year ago, I bought an HP Compaq nc2400 laptop in South Korea. The laptop performed superbly during the first few months (no surprise), but starting on the 8th month, its battery life dropped considerably to half and processing became slower (for example, opening an MS Office file took 1 minute). These did not bother me much then because I thought these were the trade-offs for having a small, lightweight notebook.
Left-click malfunction
But in November 2007, the left-click function of the TouchPad started acting weird. Clicking the TouchPad’s left-click button also opened the right-click functions and this could not be rectified by simply adjusting the TouchPad settings.
Robot patients used for dentist training
A new robot has been invented in Japan which can help train dentists regarding dental pains experienced by patients. Read on, this one’s just absolutely cool.
Humanoid robot teaches dentists to feel people’s pain
Japan’s future dentists may soon be able to better appreciate patients’ pain by training on a humanoid robot that can mumble “ouch” when the drill hits a nerve.
The dental-training robot, dubbed Simroid for “simulator humanoid,” has realistic skin, eyes and a mouth fitted with replica teeth on which students practice drilling. A sensor fitted where the nerve endings would be raises the alert when they drill too close triggering a yelp from the robot.
“Ow, that hurt!” a female robot squeaked, narrowing her eyes as a young dentist drilled on her replica teeth. “Now, I’m OK,” she said as the dentist eased off.
Where to buy cheap iPod
The new iPods are now in the Philippines but where to get them the cheapest seems to be the challenge for those wanting to get their hands on the new iPod Touch, iPod Classic, and iPod Nano (that plays video).
We visited several authorized Apple resellers in Glorietta in Makati and Virra Mall in Greenhills and found that prices vary from store to store.
One reseller in Virra Mall (Digital Eye) currently sells a brand new 80GB iPod Classic for P13,500 (US$297.95) and the new 8GB iPod Nano for P10,500 (US$231.74). That was already the cheapest we found in Virra Mall, the rest of the stores there are pricier by at least P500.
Prices are more expensive in Park Square 1 in Glorietta, with the cheapest 80GB iPod Classic we found costing P14,200 (US$313.40) and the cheapest 8GB iPod Nano at P11,250 (US$248.29).
We searched online and the cheapest iPods we found are being sold by Ynzal Marketing Corp. (www.ynzal.com) of Diliman, Quezon City.
Their (introductory) prices are as follows:

Globelines landline phone problem: Calls I didn’t make
I’ve heard several stories in the past about people claiming that their landline company charged them for phone calls they did not make. I didn’t think it would happen to me, but in my first-ever Globelines billing statement, it did. Here is my story.
