I was reading this blog entry and I read “an unbelievable price of Php18,990” and I agreed, the gadget sure is expensive. And then in the next entry I read “uber-cheap price tag of Php19,990.” Guess I was wrong about the first entry :P But I’ll have to disagree with the writer’s opinion on these prices. For non-branded gadgets with unknown quality, I do believe they’re very expensive. And, in my opinion, the products they are compared to are themselves expensive. But then cheap/expensive is relative and sometimes it amazes me how supposedly cheap (or even uber-cheap) the stuff I consider expensive are.
Saw this today at the Inquirer:
PNoy should fire those two clowns behind him. Is what they’re doing really so important that it couldn’t wait? It doesn’t do their public image any good. If you want to project seriousness, authority, and– more importantly– power, you better not show that mobile phone and how you are a slave to it.
I once saw Jaime Zobel de Ayala speak onstage. This guy owns Globe, one of the largest mobile phone services providers in the country. And yet when he walked up the stage and spoke, there is no hint that he is carrying a phone anywhere on him. Now that is how it should be!
I finally saved up enough cash and justification to get an Buffalo DriveStation. I’ve been planning to get one for a while. While I already have a 1TB Buffalo LinkStation Live which has been more than sufficient for my storage needs, I was a bit jittery with my files stored in only one device.
Before the LinkStation Live, I had a Buffalo LinkStation Pro but it died on me while still under warranty. After a bit of a struggle, the dealer replaced it with the LinkStation Live because the LinkStation Pro was no longer available.
If you have an unlocked Huawei E1550, you can use with your Globe SIM to connect to the Internet. Just make sure you have unlimited data or you are on time-based charging. Otherwise, things could get pretty expensive real quick.
My wireless broadband connection is majorly flaking lately and I’ve been considering switching to another provider. But what to do with my Huawei E1550 USB modem which is SIM-locked to my current provider? Why, unlock it, of course!
